#SmartCitiesSaudi - "Empowering Cognitive Living" with Gary Knight from REALM "The whole smart city ecosystem in Saudi at the moment is clearly driving forward at a pace probably unmatched in the rest of the world. The biggest challenge that I see ... transforming cities so quickly is you could become technologically advanced and socially disconnected. But if you're living there or working there, you still want to absolutely feel part of a community and a belonging. How do you bring all that together and make sure there's a really strong culture and feeling of belonging? That's what we talk about, bringing the people really to the core of the community living piece. And with my summit keynote presentation, I'd like to provide an insight into what we believe is a key thing. It's the power of community and how using psychology and gamification can build and drive a really positive culture for communities. And making daily life fun, rewarding, and a sense of belonging" With Smart Cities Saudi Expo starting tomorrow (24th Sept), I had to opportunity to chat with Gary, to find out from him why REALM is participating in the event, to learn about their value proposition and to find out what he is looking forward to at the event.

Shaping Saudi Arabia’s Future Through AI and Big Data: Insights from Yaser Al-Onaizan CEO of the NCAI National Center for Artificial Intelligence As we advance Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, artificial intelligence (AI) and big data are becoming indispensable pillars of our nation’s digital transformation strategy. In my recent interview with Yaser Al-Onaizan, CEO of the National Center for AI, we discussed how these technologies are redefining sectors like health care, education, and commerce—all of which are core to the Kingdom’s strategic objectives. According to Al-Onaizan, AI’s power to enhance service delivery in health care and education is already proving invaluable. Early detection of diseases such as cancer and diabetes, supported by AI-driven diagnostics, is helping drive down costs while improving patient outcomes. In education, personalized learning programs are broadening access to digital resources, supporting Vision 2030’s commitment to elevating quality of life and public service delivery. The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA | سدايا led by President Dr. Abdullah bin Sharraf Al-Ghamdi, plays a crucial role in the Kingdom’s AI journey. Together with the National Center for AI, they are building a robust infrastructure that allows local businesses to tap into AI’s potential without prohibitive costs, focusing on innovation at the application level. Al-Onaizan likened this infrastructure to building highways: “There is no need for every company to build the road; instead, they should focus on using this infrastructure to drive their own growth.” Another focal point of our discussion was ethical AI. Al-Onaizan emphasized the importance of a balanced regulatory approach, highlighting the need for frameworks that ensure transparency, fairness, and accountability without stifling innovation. Saudi Arabia’s approach, as guided by SDAIA, is to create adaptive regulations that not only protect privacy but also foster trust in AI systems as they become a part of everyday life. Finally, developing local AI talent is essential to drive innovation and competitiveness. Al-Onaizan underscored the importance of integrating practical experiences into academic programs and fostering partnerships with global leaders to build a resilient, skilled workforce in AI. These insights, along with perspectives from other thought leaders, will be featured in our upcoming annual report, The Report: Saudi Arabia 2024. Stay tuned for the full interview and in-depth analysis of the Kingdom’s digital transformation journey. #Vision2030 #AI #BigData #DigitalTransformation #SaudiArabia #SDAIA #Innovation

📣 We hosted our third edition of CXO Cyience GCC X.0 conference, "AI for Intelligent Engineering." What a diverse set of visionaries gathered to talk about reimagined engineering through artificial intelligence. We dove deep into how AI is evolving from a promising technology to a strategic imperative for Global Capability Centers (GCCs). By developing AI capabilities that seamlessly integrate across the Product Development Life Cycle (PDLC), we're empowering GCCs to transition from operational centers to true innovation hubs. So proud that with advanced design methodologies, uncompromised quality, and predictive diagnostics, our AI-driven strategies are creating new paradigms of efficiency and competitiveness.

Choosing the Right GCC Structure to Maximize Impact One of the most critical questions in GCC strategy today is how organizations should structure their operational models to maximize impact. Approach 1: Fully Integrated GCC Model This approach integrates the GCC as an extension of the headquarters, ensuring alignment across all business units. It drives global outcomes through seamless collaboration and clear accountability. However, it may slow decision-making due to dependencies on global approvals. Approach 2: Independent GCC Model In this model, the GCC operates independently with its own goals, budgets, and leadership. This autonomy fosters local innovation and agility while contributing to global objectives. The challenge lies in balancing local independence with global alignment, especially for organizations with centralized decision-making practices. Approach 3: Hybrid Model The hybrid model combines the strengths of integration and independence, allowing GCCs to operate semi-autonomously while staying aligned with global strategies. This balance promotes local innovation and global impact but requires robust governance to prevent misalignment. Across all models, the focus should shift from cost savings to achieving measurable business outcomes. Designing the GCC to deliver on innovation, market expansion, or talent acquisition can unlock its full potential. At Zinnov we’ve partnered with global companies to design and evolve GCC operating models that drive significant outcomes. As GCC strategies mature, these models will continue to evolve, reshaping the future of global operations.
