#063: Future Bytes with special guest Nikki Barua

Nikki Barua has led enterprise transformation across four continents through every major tech wave. Her through line is reinvention — not learning new tools, but shedding old identity. She argues most companies are confusing surface-level AI adoption with genuine transformation. Episode Highlights AI transformation fails when people skip the identity reset — not when the technology falls short. People Squared: fusing human creativity and institutional wisdom with AI scale — one plus one equals eleven. The biggest risk of moving slowly on AI isn’t losing market share — it’s losing your best people. Companies have a 1–2 year window before the gap between fast and slow movers becomes irreversible. A portfolio career is the new safety net — and the smartest hedge against an AI-disrupted market. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
