Technology Tangents | Tackling organizational waste with innovation and AI

Credera is excited to announce the release of a new Technology Tangents podcast episode: "Tackling Organizational Waste with Innovation and AI."

On this episode 

In this episode, tech and AI experts Vincent Yates and Jason Goth are joined by Kevin Erickson, Partner at Credera. The trio dive into the hidden inefficiencies and operational waste within organizations to uncover what businesses can learn. From AI-powered cost-cutting to the challenges of modernizing legacy systems, they explore why outdated processes persist and what it really takes to fix them. 

They also tackle the big questions: Who should be responsible for cleaning up inefficiencies? How do you balance cost-cutting with morale and innovation? And what role do incentives play in driving (or stalling) real change? Tune in for a candid conversation on the future of efficiency, leadership, and smart decision-making.

Technology Tangents

In Technology Tangents, Credera's Global Chief Technology Officer, Global Chief Data Officer, and North America CEO bring leaders together to discuss the modern technologies of today and how organizations should navigate the implications for tomorrow.

The discussions are fun, light-hearted, and frankly opinionated, but hopefully, it gives technology leaders a sense of what matters, what to pay attention to, and what to ignore.

This podcast is available on iTunes, Spotify, and Anchor FM.
