Daily Inspiration: "The essence of leadership is finding the strategy within the hype!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Successful CEOs aren't in the business of chasing shiny new toys - they need to chase growth!

And so they're having a heck of a year already as everyone comes at them with ideas around this year's hottest new shiny toy - AI!
