Deloitte Launches 'Resilient Edge,' a New Technology Transformation Podcast for Business Leaders

Produced by BBC StoryWorks, the all-new podcast outlines the key challenges organizations face in the current era of disruption and how leaders can harness the momentum of AI for business value

On August 19, Deloitte announced the launch of a new podcast produced by BBC StoryWorks, Commercial Productions, the award-winning branded content studio of BBC Studios, titled "Resilient Edge: A Business Vitality Podcast." Amid rapid transformation and unprecedented acceleration in climate, technology and supply chain, organizations are tasked with meeting this moment of change and adapting to the new normal of agile evolution. Resilient Edge serves as a guide to implementing and sustaining transformation at scale. Hosted by Chip Kleinheksel, Principal, Deloitte LLP, the podcast launch focuses on three ascendant challenges — AI, Sustainability and Resilience — and will feature in-depth conversations with SAP leaders and other industry changemakers around actionable roadmaps for building an agile future.

"From the AI revolution to the urgent need for sustainability and resilience, we've heard from leaders across industries who are eager to keep their business moving at the pace of change — all while maintaining a laser-focus on efficiency amid a turbulent market," says Kleinheksel. "Our new podcast aims to provide candid conversations on these topics, complemented with real-world implementation examples and actionable roadmaps to help organizations embrace transformation and drive value."

The season premiere, "Making AI's Promise Real," addresses the AI implementation gap as leaders wonder whether Generative AI's potential will lead to payoff. Featuring insights from Juergen Mueller, chief technology officer, SAP and Arjun Krishnamurthy, managing director, Deloitte Consulting LLP, the episode offers tactical advice on the breadth of Generative AI capabilities available and how organizations can tackle the some of the most common challenges preventing successful deployment.
