Using AI & Machine Learning To Guide Strategic Change, with Annalie Killian, VP of Strategic Partnerships, Sparks & Honey 

My guest today is Annalie Killian. Since 2016, Annalie has led the Strategic Partnerships function at Sparks & Honey, a New York-based strategy consultancy that combines AI and machine learning with the best of human intelligence to make sense of global challenges, emerging trends and accelerating change. 

Some of the highlights of our conversation include Annalie's experience of organisational leadership under apartheid, exploring how personal challenges can help you hone your empathy as a leader, how Sparks & Honey uses machine learning to optimise their quality of service, and Annalie's professional networking principle of "Don't cultivate contacts. Cultivate friends".
