Innovation hinges on how much teams learn, when they learn it, and in what order. Smart leaders avoid indiscriminate cuts to the unknown and focus on identifying technologies with the potential to create long-term value.
Adaptive AI is one of the latest innovations that can be deployed in many different ways to improve outcomes and drive ROI. It’s used to automate processes, provide personalized customer service and enhance business intelligence. Think of your favorite music app such as Spotify that tracks your song preferences, provides entertainment and makes recommendations based on your past behavior. This technology is the next generation of artificial intelligence and is already being used in several industries such as healthcare, retail, financial services and more.
Super apps are another emerging technology trend that’s gaining momentum in 2025. These are all-in-one mobile apps that perform a variety of tasks such as shopping, messaging, social media and payments in one place. This is a significant improvement over traditional mobile apps that only offer limited functionality and require the user to download multiple apps to get their work done.
