Last month, Synozur was proud to sponsor TechCon 365 Dallas.  At the conference, we introduced our new service that creates a new way of working with leadership on strategy, business foundations, and goals – the Company Operating System.

In the latest episode of Polaris, Matt Shaffer delves into the concept of Company Operating Systems (CoS), exploring its framework, key components, and the importance of documentation and communication in achieving business goals. We discuss the distinction between strategic and operational focuses, the difference between strategy and planning, and share real-world applications of CoS in various organizations. The conversation also touches on the role of software in implementing CoS, best practices for successful implementation, and future trends in organizational design and strategy.

The emergence of the Chief AI Officer (CAIO) role reflects the growing importance of AI in various business operations, necessitating a dedicated leadership position to navigate its complexities. The CAIO is crucial for aligning AI capabilities with strategic business goals, managing ethical considerations and responsible AI practices, and addressing the rapidly evolving AI landscape. Additionally, CAIOs are vital for bridging the talent gap in AI, ensuring business focus in AI initiatives, and signaling the organization’s commitment to AI innovation and resource allocation.

Based on Synozur data from the M365 Conference, there’s a lot of ungoverned AI experimentation but not a lot of deployment at scale (yet). Organizations are excited about AI, but worried about security and cost.

Microsoft Copilot AI promises productivity enhancements and valuable insights but rolling out Microsoft Copilot before your organization is ready risks erasing potential benefits with bad answers and incomplete information.

Austin Govella, speaks on Information Architecture at Scale this Thursday, July 13 from 6:30-7:30 PM US CT exploring what happens when IA goes beyond sitemaps and taxonomies to architect platforms and ecosystems.

The pandemic changed the way we work and where we work. Many companies have adopted different work models to adapt to the new reality and to meet the needs and preferences of their employees.

I asked Bing to compose a short, funny blog post with this prompt:

Can you make up a story about what gen-z has in common with a Doberman riding a bike?

This was in response to a fun bit of design work I was demonstrating using Microsoft Designer.

Microsoft's Copilot, an AI suite, dominated the M365 Conference. A study shows its value in contact centers, improving productivity and reducing turnover. The post highlights potential value and urges companies to look at the business-case for AI.
