Quotes from this Episode:
“Business models are changing, not business processes. And I think that's what people need to think about is what does my business model look like?” – Kevin Dean
“If you can make fundamental changes in the infrastructure that is in place for businesses to function globally, you need to not think about what is my five, six year plan. You've gotta break that down to think, where am I at in quarters?” – Kevin Dean
“I think business leaders need to start using AI today and seeing what it can do today.” – Kevin Dean
“I think business owners need to strategically think about who their customer is and what ultimately will their customer pay for that adds value.” – Kevin Dean
“I want everyone to start thinking about what does my business model look like 18 months from now, and how do I add strategic value?” – Kevin Dean
