About
As VP of Global Strategy and GM of Customer Advisory Council at Phenom, I’m a technologist and an AI anthropologist. Topics I discuss regularly include AI legislation in HR, AI bias, generative AI, ChatGPT, AI hysteria and AI’s impact on jobs, among many others. One recent example is the Nasdaq roundtable regarding AI legislation where I was a panelist with Frida Polli, award-winning Harvard & MIT neuroscientist and Keith Sonderling, EEOC Commissioner. Another is the Fast Company article, entitled, “This is the job companies must create in 2024.” With previous roles in creative design and software development, I provide a unique perspective and ability to communicate complex technologies in business terms. I’m also an active pilot. After the tragic loss of my son, I run Kyle’s Wish Foundation — the only flight service in the country dedicated to helping those suffering from mental illness and addiction issues.

In today's workplace, practicing the importance of self-awareness starts from the top down. The strength of a successful business relies upon the people who are responsible for its daily operations. But building a power team starts from the top down. Therefore, leaders must set higher standards for themselves first if they expect others to follow in their footsteps to meet the expectations and mission of their business. Self-awareness will also play a key factor in every leader's journey because if they are unaware of the negative energy they are spreading across their workforce, it may drive top talent away. Here, 15 Fast Company Executive Board members each discuss one seemingly harmless habit an executive may have that could be harming their business, and why it can make such a difference in the team's perspective of who they truly represent.

Apply these best practices to expand the lifetime value of what customers have come to expect. Technology continues to be the solution to helping brands and their customers elevate their business and personal experiences. One key indicator to assessing a client's satisfaction with a particular device is to gain access to their existing daily habits and how the product impacts their life. Once that information is determined and measured through a combination of data analytics and real-time user feedback, the brand can work on modernizing its product to make it better. The most important predictor of satisfaction and long-term stickiness for devices such as wearables is how well they fit into existing lifestyles and habits. Careful assessment of the users' existing habits is essential. A device must not rely on the formation of new habits for success. Rather, it should make existing habits easier or automate as many steps as possible. Below, 12 experts from Fast Company Executive Board each offer one suggestion to help other brand leaders and creative UX designers adapt their product designs for new and evolving wearables, smart home devices, and other Internet of Things devices.
