For my guest Lukas N.P. Egger at SAP Signavio, AI represents a fundamentally different type of transformation where being a fast follower—a strategy that worked well in previous technological shifts like cloud and mobile—may no longer be effective. Here's why:

1. 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜: Incumbents could afford to let the market shake out, identify winners, then use their financial resources to quickly adopt proven technologies.

2. 𝘼𝙄 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙪𝙡𝙚𝙨: The technology is highly democratized (anyone can access it for free), evolves at unprecedented speed, and requires deep organizational change rather than just technology implementation. Those who wait risk falling too far behind to catch up.

3. 𝙎𝙪𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙨 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙡 𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙛𝙩: Organizations need to start experimenting now, develop AI literacy across their workforce, and fundamentally rethink how they operate—not just bolt AI onto existing processes.

This 67th episode of Climate+ Podcast challenges conventional wisdom about technology adoption strategy, arguing that AI demands a more proactive, experimental, and transformative approach than previous innovations.
