 “The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.” – Confucius.  A room full of smart people, eyes glinting with the thrill of the future. Words like predictive models, AI-driven insights, and automated decisioning fly across the table like a Wimbledon final. Budgets, approved. Deadlines, drawn. Headlines, dreamed about. But no one […]

My dad generally does not have a very strong opinion about anything. His best reaction was when we went to see the Taj Mahal in Agra, India and he said … “it’s good”. Not someone who will applaud anything vociferously. When he heard about the whole manifestation spiel from my sister, he recommended us to […]

A mid-sized bank I was consulting with for their data warehouse modernization project finally realized that data isn’t just some necessary but boring stuff the IT department hoards in their digital cave. It’s the new gold, the ticking time bomb of risk, and the bane of every regulatory report that’s ever come back with more […]

As I gear up for my presentation at the Adobe Summit this March, I’ve been reflecting on the transformative potential of a well-executed content supply chain—and the hurdles large organizations face in making it a reality. And since it is Summit, I will obviously be referencing tools like Adobe GenStudio, Adobe Workfront, AEM Sites, and […]

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, then you are a leader” – John Quincy Adams  I have always thought that the word LEADERSHIP is a word of great proportions, not only because of the union of its 10 vowels and consonants but also because of the […]

It’s difficult, in the consulting services industry, to explain the requirement for existence of a core thought leadership group to augment the sales and marketing teams that are tasked with collection of logos. In today’s hypercompetitive and fast evolving marketplace, the lines between thought leadership and sales are increasingly intertwined… Thought leadership, when done right, […]

The healthcare industry stands at a transformative crossroads with generative AI (GenAI) poised to revolutionize care delivery, operational efficiency, and patient outcomes. Recent MIT Technology Review research indicates that while 88% of organizations are using or experimenting with GenAI, healthcare organizations face unique challenges in implementation. Let’s explore a comprehensive approach to successful GenAI adoption […]

Let’s be honest – if you’ve ever thought that Quarterly Business Reviews (or QBRs) were a huge headache, you’re not alone! A QBR is an alignment meeting that’s held every three months between a company like Perficient and its clients. When my director first introduced us to the idea, the team was skeptical. It seemed […]

Let’s talk about data governance in banking and financial services, one area I have loved working in and in various areas of it … where data isn’t just data, numbers aren’t just numbers … They’re sacred artifacts that need to be protected, documented, and, of course, regulated within an inch of their lives. It’s not […]

The Challenge Knowledge about a product navigates product owners through a maze of complex decisions they need to make regularly.  Awareness of the business needs behind a product, the users who will benefit from it, and the functionalities it puts on the table, helps product owners maximize delivered value and successfully collaborate with stakeholders. Such […]

We are witnessing a sea-change in the way data is managed by banks and financial institutions all over the world. Data being commoditized and, in some cases, even monetized by banks is the order of the day. Though this seems to be at a stage where some more push is required in terms of adoption […]

“As if there weren’t enough jargons and complex terms to remember for an investor, you are telling me I need to now know about ESG and Climate Risk – You must be kidding me!!” – These are the exact words (with a couple of expletives, that I cannot quote here) – a senior fund administrator […]
