The answer lies in how organizations leverage their knowledge and whether their AI investments reshape their operations effectively. Firdaus Bhathena, S&P Global’s executive vice president and chief technology and transformation officer, will address these topics in Newsweek’s “AI Impact Forum” webinar series. The session, titled “What Enterprise AI Looks Like When It Works,” will feature Bhathena and host Dr. Ranjit Tinaikar in a live conversation on Wednesday, November 4, at 11 a.m. Eastern.
This discussion arrives as companies face increasing pressure to showcase the impact of their AI investments. While experimentation allows organizations to test new capabilities, transforming these efforts into lasting business enhancements demands tough decisions about technology, data, employees, and customers.
S&P Global provides financial information, analytics, and intelligence essential for businesses and investors. As AI transforms data collection, analysis, and delivery, S&P Global and its competitors must reassess what makes their services valuable when sophisticated analytical tools become widely accessible. Bhathena, whose role covers technology and transformation, previously held key technology leadership positions at FIS Global and CVS Health, gaining significant experience in large-scale technology projects in finance and healthcare sectors.
A key aspect of his discussion with Tinaikar will be the growing importance of trusted, differentiated data. Organizations should understand data origins, assess its quality, and ensure its consistent application across business functions. Data governance is another critical topic, focusing on how executives can trace AI-backed decisions to their sources, maintaining confidence in the outcomes.
For organizations to move beyond initial pilot projects, a fundamental reassessment of work processes is often necessary. Companies must decide which processes need redesigning and consider the implications for employees responsible for them. Employees may need to revisit long-standing responsibilities. The discussion will cover ways leaders can engage teams in spotting opportunities, garner support for new workflows, and evaluate if the changes yield significant improvements.
Bhathena and Tinaikar will also examine the balance between rapid progress and the need for security, resilience, and trust, which underpin established businesses.
