As businesses embrace cutting-edge tech, challenges like data sovereignty and AI are taking centre stage.

Over the past six months, the AI industry has seen significant advancements, with competing models such as Meta’s Luma and Google’s Gemini entering the market.

However, these developments come with a reality check. Building large language models (LLMs) requires substantial computing power and time, making immediate returns on investment unlikely.

One promising innovation is agentic AI, a step beyond generative AI, which enables proactive, automated solutions.

For instance, this technology could stabilise IT systems autonomously, diagnosing and resolving issues without human intervention.

Data sovereignty has also emerged as a key focus, with increasing emphasis on keeping data within national borders to comply with local laws. This has driven the adoption of sovereign clouds and private data centres, ensuring secure and localised data processing for AI development.

Deepak Ajmani, Vice President of ANZ & APAC Emerging Markets at Confluent, joins to discuss the evolving business landscape.

Catherine Delcin, Managing Attorney at Delcin Consulting Group, delved into the importance of an entrepreneurial mindset and the traits that foster resilience within a business. She highlighted the essential role of adaptable leadership in navigating change and challenges.

Delcin emphasised that resilient character traits—such as persistence, emotional strength, and flexibility—are critical for entrepreneurs and leaders looking to guide their teams through uncertain times.

Adaptability, she notes, is key to thriving in today’s dynamic work environment. By nurturing these traits, leaders can build a resilient workforce ready to tackle any obstacle and stay motivated in the face of adversity. Her insights provide valuable takeaways for any leader aiming to foster a resilient and high-performing team.
