On November 12, the eagerly awaited Executive Day took place in Rotterdam. This exclusive event, organized by Management Events, brought together top executives to discuss innovation and growth strategies in the technology sector. It was a unique opportunity for visionary leaders to exchange ideas and collaborate in promoting positive and sustainable change.
The highlight of the day was the presentation by João Tiago Martins, Artificial Intelligence leader at Noesis, with his talk: “Simplified AI Integration: The Way to Overcome Barriers”. Martins explored how AI has evolved from a challenge to an accessible and applicable reality. Citing the case of a recent chatbot project, he highlighted how AI can be a support tool for people, not a substitute. “Trust is everything in AI projects,” he emphasized, stressing the importance of focusing on data quality and a culture of data literacy.
Another highlight was the speaker's approach to the topic: when developing AI, the team takes regular breaks to reassess and question the meaning of each step, allowing them to identify potential problems from the outset and ensure that everyone is aligned. This collaboration also includes IT partners, business teams, and even the legal department to ensure full compliance with policies.
The speaker also highlighted the three main principles for success in AI:
- Start with a well-defined strategy and the right people:
- Ensure data quality and create with purpose, making sure each initiative has a clear goal.
- “Decoding AI”, as he described it, is about increasing efficiency, building trust, extracting hidden value and managing risks and compliance responsibly.
This was a day of meaningful exchanges and shared visions for the future of technology, underlining the importance of innovative and collaborative leadership in the digital landscape.
