| 3/22/26 |  You Don’t Need to Understand Everything About AI - Here’s What Matters | Rohin Wood (BCG X ANZ Lead, and Managing Director & Partner BCG) | AI is already writing code. The question is no longer what it can do, but how organisations use it.In this episode of Business & Beyond, Rohin Wood (Managing Director & Partner, BCG X ANZ) shares a practical view on what’s changing, what’s working, and where most organisations are getting stuck.As execution becomes easier, the real challenge shifts to framing problems, redesigning workflows, and applying judgement.They explore:Why many AI initiatives stall at the pilot stageHow to move from use cases to transformationThe rise of agentic systems and what they mean for businessWhere organisations are already seeing real valueLinks:Scheduling the World’s Largest Fully-Owned and Integrated Iron Ore Supply Chain with Rio Tinto:https://www.bcg.com/x/mark-your-moment/how-an-iron-ore-producer-modernized-mining-operations-with-aiAI Radar Report: https://www.bcg.com/publications/2026/as-ai-investments-surge-ceos-take-the-leadRohin's PhD Thesis: https://digital.library.adelaide.edu.au/dspace/bitstream/2440/59390/8/02chapters1-4.pdf Chapter markers:0:00 – Abstraction and Leadership in AI1:18 – From PhD to BCG X5:32 – Scaling BCG X Globally7:20 – Algorithms, Neural Networks and GPT Breakthroughs8:51 – AI Writing Code and Maths9:15 – The Cost of Work Dropping to Near Zero10:23 – Agentic Commerce Explained12:43 – AI as an Operating System15:25 – From Pilots to Transformation22:13 – Democratising AI Agents24:00 – AI Capability Doubling Rapidly29:08 – Mining, Pharma, Pricing Use Cases32:31 – Superhuman Engineers Emerging35:06 – Cyber Risk in AI Era | — | ||||||
| 3/2/26 |  What Great CEOs Do Differently Today | Rich Lesser (Global Chair, BCG) | Richard Lesser reflects on leading BCG through a decade of disruption that saw the firm triple revenues while expanding into digital, advanced analytics and AI.He shares why CEOs must balance short-term earnings with long-term vitality, why engagement with governments has shifted from optional to essential, and why complacency is the real threat in an era defined by generative AI, geopolitical tension and declining institutional trust. For Rich, the defining leadership advantage was not prior expertise, but the capacity to learn faster than the world was changing.In this episode, Rich also discusses:How BCG invested early in digital and AI before the generative AI inflection pointThe firm’s expansion into climate and sustainability advisoryThe rapid scaling of private capital into a multibillion-dollar platformWhat the Edelman Trust Barometer signals for CEOsWhether consulting remains relevant in the age of AIChapter Markers:00:00:00 – The Leadership Lesson He Didn’t See Coming00:00:50 – Richard Lesser’s 40-Year BCG Journey00:01:57 – Leading in an Age of Disruption: What’s Changed00:03:03 – Balancing Short-Term Performance and Long-Term Vitality00:04:13 – Why CEOs Must Become Learners, Not Just Experts00:05:00 – The CEO as Statesman: Trust, Government and Polarisation00:07:26 – Scaling BCG: Digital, AI and Strategic Inflection Points00:09:32 – Climate, Sustainability and Private Capital Expansion00:11:26 – Stepping Into the CEO Role: Responsibility and TeamBuilding00:14:27 – Building Trust Through Authentic Leadership00:16:56 – AI, Generative Tools and the Future of Consulting00:21:15 – Energy, Sleep and Self-Awareness at the Top00:26:21 – Three Career Lessons for the Next Generation | — | ||||||
| 2/5/26 |  A Tale of Four Davos: Insights From a Week With World Leaders | Rich Lesser (Global Chairman, BCG) | In this episode of Business & Beyond, Sanjay Chari sits down with Rich Lesser, Global Chairman of BCG and former CEO, immediately following a week at the World Economic Forum in Davos.Rich reflects on why this year felt fundamentally different, describing it as “a tale of four Davos” - four conversations unfolding at once. Leaders were debating the global economic outlook with cautious optimism, shifting the AI discussion from hype to value at scale, grappling with rising geopolitical tension, and continuing quieter but determined work on climate and sustainability.The conversation explores what a difficult decade has taught business leaders about resilience, how AI is moving from experimentation to real-world impact, what growing geopolitical fragmentation means for companies operating globally, and why climate action is increasingly driven by business fundamentals rather than public rhetoric.Chapter markers00:00 Welcome & reflections after Davos01:18 A tale of four Davos explained04:20 Davos on the ground: the economic outlook06:42 Global perspectives08:48 How institutions and businesses build resilience14:44 Davos in the cloud: AI moves from hype to value19:43 Why CEOs are taking ownership of AI22:44 Managing risks as the AI agenda scales25:21 Davos to the north: geopolitics & trade tensions30:59 Navigating uncertainty in a fragmented world34:32 Davos underground: climate beyond the headlines36:57 The green economy as a growth opportunity44:02 Final reflections: optimism in a decade of changeResources:Read Rich's article on A Tale of Four Davos here: https://on.bcg.com/4ryqZD8The Widening AI Value Gap: https://www.bcg.com/publications/2025/are-you-generating-value-from-ai-the-widening-gapAI Radar: https://www.bcg.com/publications/2026/as-ai-investments-surge-ceos-take-the-lead | — | ||||||
