2024 Year End Recap - Part Two

The Bridgecast with Scott Kinka

Sometimes, we think that new tech can solve old problems. For instance, can AI help employees be better at processes that don't exist?

This is just one of the questions we tackle on this episode of The Bridgecast.

In this conclusion to The Bridgecast’s 2024 Year-End series, Scott and Gene discuss key industry trends, reflections on the past year, and predictions for the future.

The conversation highlights AI adoption challenges, the importance of human oversight in AI-driven processes, and the evolving nature of IT strategy.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• • How IT budgets are increasing, but organizations must focus on efficiency in non-investment areas to balance spending.
• Human oversight is critical in AI processes to guide decision-making and ensure ethical and accurate outcomes.
• Why imagination and creativity remain uniquely human qualities.
• How demonstrating ROI in small, measurable AI projects can build executive confidence.
• Why leadership involves humility and recognizing the contributions of all team members to success.
