Working with AI: What It Means to Be AI Driven

Does AI represent an extinction-level event for your business? In this episode, we ask the important question: how can your company become the bird, not the pterodactyl, in the age of digital Darwinism? Pete Buer sits down with Wolf Ruzicka, SVP of Strategic Advisory at Solvd and author of AI Driven: Staying Alive in the Age of Digital Darwinism. Wolf lays out a five-step roadmap to move from AI novice to AI-native, including how to reclaim your digital destiny, activate unstructured data, and prepare for generative AI's superpowers. They discuss why executive education is a key barrier to adoption, what "digital marines" can do for your team, and how out-of-paradigm thinking—like intelligent RFP matching—will define the next generation of AI impact. Also, in "AI in the Wild", Courtney Baker and Pete discuss the business implications of Deutsche Telekom's new AI phone and what it signals for device interaction and workplace productivity. Spoiler alert: if done right, AI-first hardware could transform user experience far beyond the consumer world. Don't miss Knownwell's platform showcase!
