From Operators to Architects | AI Voices, Episode 2

The era of just "using" AI tools is ending. The next phase of adoption is about deep integration and it requires a total shift in how we lead. So, how do you redefine your role before the industry does it for you? In this second episode of SAP AI Voices, host Jesper Schleimann (SAP's EMEA AI Officer) sits down with Russell Smith, VP of ERP Transformation at @AstraZeneca, and Michael G. Jacobides, Professor at @London Business School and @WEF AI Council member, to discuss the evolving role of leadership in the AI era. Inside the conversation, they explore the major mindset shifts of the last five years and the critical changes required for the next five. How must businesses move beyond basic AI usage toward strategic deployment? What does it mean to rethink processes, invest in workforce education, and build the trust and transparency needed to evolve from "human in the loop" to "human as architect"?
