Charles Pickett shared thisI had the opportunity to work with Maura Desmond last week as part of PwC's Leadership Reinvention programme. Whilst I'm well aware that my type of Consultant doesn't save lives, drawing parallels from the healthcare sector (fast pace, lots of ego, multiple people and cross functional teams needing become effective at working together quickly) was very helpful as we look to the next generation of professional services. I'd highly recommend getting in touch with Maura and considering her programme if anyone else wants to increase the efficacy of their team, with empirical evidence based techniques. Thanks Maura for a fantastic programme.Charles Pickett shared this“What an energising, impactful, brilliant experience. One of the best leadership development program I’ve participated in.” This was feedback from a leader who joined today's In-House Immerse Leadership Experience, delivered with exceptional first responder leaders and a leading Australian hospital. WHAT MATTERS TO US JUST AS MUCH AS THE LEARNING: Every experience gives back. It directly supports our partnering hospital, with funds going straight into staff education and life-saving equipment. We’ve delivered this across multiple cohorts within a large organisation, and it still leaves us feeling as energised as the leaders in the room. Today’s focus was leadership under pressure in operational, safety critical environments. Human factors over technical skills, decision making, trust, psychological safety, team cohesion and so much more.... The impact is in what leaders take back the next day, how they communicate, decide, and lead not just when the stakes are high but in the everyday moments. Leaders don’t just talk about these behaviours, they practise them in real time, routinely debriefing and looking for the 1% improvements that lift performance every day. If you’re exploring a different way to develop leaders in operational, safety critical environments, feel free to reach out. Thanks to our wonderful partner ByMany for including this immersive experience in your wider leadership program. Also huge thanks to Dr Max Allin and Dr Emma West for helping bring these experiences to life. #LeadershipDevelopment #HighPerformanceTeams #HumanFactors #PsychologicalSafety #OperationalLeadership #ExperientialLearning #Makeworkmatter #experientiallearning #immerseexperience

Charles Pickett shared thisIt was great to sit down with Harvey to talk about our use of AI in Deals. I’m convinced that a combination of the best AI infused technology, while remembering the human touch, is going to get the best results for our clients and our people.Charles Pickett shared thisThe advantage in M&A is no longer access to data. It’s how quickly you analyze it. In our latest Q&A, Charles Pickett, Partner and Deals CTO at PwC Australia, shares how his team uses Harvey during active engagements to review complex deal collateral, documents, communications, and transaction data at scale. The result: less time assembling information, more time applying judgment. PwC teams are moving beyond checklist-driven diligence toward sharper, evidence-backed conversations about value creation and investment conviction.

Charles Pickett shared thisFantastic to have OpenAI in Sydney in person for workshops with our teams. ChatGPT Enterprise is one of the most popular AI tools in our business. It’s an amazing product and the innovation isn’t stopping any time soon!

Charles Pickett shared thisA great article by my fellow Partner John H.. Whilst my usual reaction to content like this would be highly sceptical, having seen the hugely positive impact of a few seemingly subtle changes on our team culture and experience, I don't have a bad word to say about it. In a world where remote working and AI are removing the human connection, it is worth us all reflecting on what it means to come to work. PS maybe next time you'll get 1st place in the go-karting, JohnHow our recipe for culture saw small steps becoming a giant leap for our teamHow our recipe for culture saw small steps becoming a giant leap for our team

Charles Pickett liked thisCharles Pickett liked thisI've just returned from visiting OpenAI's offices in San Francisco. Amongst other wildly cool stuff, we heard from OpenAI's Chief Economist, Dr Aaron “Ronnie” Chatterji. It validated my belief that to achieve demonstrable value from AI, we (ie PwC and our clients) need to put frontier models in the hands of our skilled, talented and knowledgable people and provide proper enablement and upskilling. Many of the clients I speak to are stuck drafting and summarising - we need to do more than just replace Google with the chat function of an LLM. Our people need to understand how to use projects, skills and agents - that's how we get scale. https://lnkd.in/gg78h8EP Thanks to Scott McLiver, Kayur Patel, Mark Russell and Charlotte Stewart for an outstanding trip! And tagging John H. who is leading our AU offering with me.

Charles Pickett liked this"Let non sexy wins compound. The 5 hours tasks down to 1. 10 hour tasks to 2. This is the path not enough organisations are taking imo. " - So true. The low hanging fruit are often the most valuable and people somehow ignore that, shooting for inappropriate stars, before they're ready and have confirmed they actually need them.

Charles Pickett liked thisCharles Pickett liked thisReally appreciate Andrew Holmes, Senior Territory Partner from PwC New Zealand, making the trip across the Tasman to visit us in Sydney last week. As one of our closest neighbours in the PwC network, it was great to chat about the opportunities we share and challenges our clients face. There’s certainly more we can do to collaborate and support clients, each side of the ditch, and I look forward to leaning into that. I learned best to avoid any conversation about the origins of the Pavlova though... #GrowHereGoFurther

Charles Pickett liked thisCharles Pickett liked thisA great story on how Bupa Australia consolidated onto one governed platform on Databricks, using Unity Catalog to keep sensitive health data properly managed from day one. They've now brought together more than 90% of their business and customer data, with over 2,500 people drawing from that same trusted source. Analytics that used to take weeks now move 8x faster, and the personalisation team is running on 1,500 governed data features to shape care for millions of members creating the foundation for the predictive, preventative health models Bupa is building next. Thank you Ed Falconer for this amazing partnership! Read more: https://lnkd.in/gEePt8_M

Does moving from AI ideation to AI-in-operation seem easier said than done? There is a way to move beyond this challenge … from AI conversation to a governed and practical approach. Organisations are achieving this today … disciplined, engaged, inclusive, trusted AI that are delivering better customer experience, better people engagement and capability uplift. #kpmg #youcanwithai #kymx

This is why AI Governance is as important as the problem that AI set out to solve for. In other words, you simply cannot trust AI without AI governance as it’s foundation. My advice to #CxOs during my interactions with them on AI: When you ask the question, “What can AI do for me?”, also top it up with another one-“How can I trust what it claims it does?” #ai #aigovernance #responsibleai Techwave
