8 | | JULY 2023IN MY OPINIONBy Iacopo Ghisio, Head of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Gruppo MOL [BIT: MOL]Multiple buzzwords are in the title to attract your attention; actually, I mean Innovation in general.From big corporates down to small companies, we are struggling to improve, innovate, and attract the right talents that will boost reputation, growth, and open up new business streams. This is why I will try to give a quick overview of what could happen and suggest how to deal with it.Whether you work in Financial Services, Logistics, Payments, Banking, Industry, for sure you're facing a need to innovate. It could mean moving to a public cloud, reduce time-consuming activities through RPA, create predictive microservices or simply optimize supply chain using lean principles, you will need to deal with people to "change manage" this stream. You can rely on your perfectly skilled HR department, on your trusted head hunting company or on yourself but you will fail if you're not considering the impact of this wind of change in your current organisation that is made of people.Let's pretend here that your need is to kick off a new department, an innovation one, like Big Data or Data Science. You'll face many gray areas that I hope to help shed lights on.Would you start hiring the manager of this new department or rather a deeply technical expert?From a practical point of view, to hit the ground running, you could decide to hire the tech pivot meanwhile you keep looking for a more managerial role internally or, from a strategic point of view, you should decide to hire an experienced manager and delegate her/him role to form the team; following solution one, will allow you to be quicker in addressing the HOW AI, MACHINE LEARNING AND BIG DATA ARE IMPACTING COMPANIESIacopo Ghisio
