The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017. These innovations weren\u2019t necessarily developed in 2017, rather in 2017 they reached a high enough market adoption to indicate that they will be adopted on a mass scale in the next year or two. As a corporate innovator you\u2019ll want to include these trends in your 2018 innovation road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only a few months ago still only a handful of die hard enthusiasts believed in the future of this alternative currency. Now in Dec 2017 with the Chicago Board of Exchange offering options to be traded on the digital asset, several countries developing their own cryptocurrencies, many of the large banks beginning to implement cryptocurrencies in their operations, and middle class Americans mortgaging their homes to invest, it is safe to say that this technology is here to stay and will continue to have more and more impact. SVIC has a developed a blockchain practice and we would be happy to answer your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) More millennials will work remotely in freelance positions and own fewer assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) The shift from visual to audio interface will make computer interaction more natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant have made a name for themselves as being useful assistants not only for dictating text messages, but also for ordering things online, getting useful information, and navigating you.

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need.

Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017.

Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low.

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!)

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017.

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!)

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Innovation Immersion Program, you get an unforgettable opportunity to learn about the latest trends in your industry. Know the powerful insights to design successful models for your own company. We are happy to report that once the program was complete, the senior leaders at Thomson Reuters felt extremely confident about the corporate innovation trends that affect their core business. They were able to change individual operations and create new business units to capture the undiscovered market opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sum it up in one phrase, \u2018They found solutions!\u2019 <\/i>...and now we have a limited time opportunity for you. With the increased demand in the Fintech space, Silicon Valley Center has designed an exclusive Executive Immersion Program<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose is to address the challenges that entrepreneurs face in the field of Digital banking, Artificial intelligence, and Regulation technologies. The participants will also find interesting insights about advancements in the field of digital lending and current innovations in payment value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you've already seen the applicable benefits of the last program, the next move is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services.

But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017. These innovations weren\u2019t necessarily developed in 2017, rather in 2017 they reached a high enough market adoption to indicate that they will be adopted on a mass scale in the next year or two. As a corporate innovator you\u2019ll want to include these trends in your 2018 innovation road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers.

Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Innovation Immersion Program, you get an unforgettable opportunity to learn about the latest trends in your industry. Know the powerful insights to design successful models for your own company. We are happy to report that once the program was complete, the senior leaders at Thomson Reuters felt extremely confident about the corporate innovation trends that affect their core business. They were able to change individual operations and create new business units to capture the undiscovered market opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sum it up in one phrase, \u2018They found solutions!\u2019 <\/i>...and now we have a limited time opportunity for you. With the increased demand in the Fintech space, Silicon Valley Center has designed an exclusive Executive Immersion Program<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose is to address the challenges that entrepreneurs face in the field of Digital banking, Artificial intelligence, and Regulation technologies. The participants will also find interesting insights about advancements in the field of digital lending and current innovations in payment value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you've already seen the applicable benefits of the last program, the next move is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017. These innovations weren\u2019t necessarily developed in 2017, rather in 2017 they reached a high enough market adoption to indicate that they will be adopted on a mass scale in the next year or two. As a corporate innovator you\u2019ll want to include these trends in your 2018 innovation road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SVIC has a developed a blockchain practice and we would be happy to answer your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) More millennials will work remotely in freelance positions and own fewer assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!)

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017. These innovations weren\u2019t necessarily developed in 2017, rather in 2017 they reached a high enough market adoption to indicate that they will be adopted on a mass scale in the next year or two. As a corporate innovator you\u2019ll want to include these trends in your 2018 innovation road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Blockchain will create more transparent trade and ease of transacting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Only a few months ago still only a handful of die hard enthusiasts believed in the future of this alternative currency. Now in Dec 2017 with the Chicago Board of Exchange offering options to be traded on the digital asset, several countries developing their own cryptocurrencies, many of the large banks beginning to implement cryptocurrencies in their operations, and middle class Americans mortgaging their homes to invest, it is safe to say that this technology is here to stay and will continue to have more and more impact. SVIC has a developed a blockchain practice and we would be happy to answer your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) More millennials will work remotely in freelance positions and own fewer assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) The shift from visual to audio interface will make computer interaction more natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant have made a name for themselves as being useful assistants not only for dictating text messages, but also for ordering things online, getting useful information, and navigating you.

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Innovation Immersion Program, you get an unforgettable opportunity to learn about the latest trends in your industry. Know the powerful insights to design successful models for your own company. We are happy to report that once the program was complete, the senior leaders at Thomson Reuters felt extremely confident about the corporate innovation trends that affect their core business. They were able to change individual operations and create new business units to capture the undiscovered market opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sum it up in one phrase, \u2018They found solutions!\u2019 <\/i>...and now we have a limited time opportunity for you. With the increased demand in the Fintech space, Silicon Valley Center has designed an exclusive Executive Immersion Program<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose is to address the challenges that entrepreneurs face in the field of Digital banking, Artificial intelligence, and Regulation technologies. The participants will also find interesting insights about advancements in the field of digital lending and current innovations in payment value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you've already seen the applicable benefits of the last program, the next move is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017. These innovations weren\u2019t necessarily developed in 2017, rather in 2017 they reached a high enough market adoption to indicate that they will be adopted on a mass scale in the next year or two. As a corporate innovator you\u2019ll want to include these trends in your 2018 innovation road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Blockchain will create more transparent trade and ease of transacting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Only a few months ago still only a handful of die hard enthusiasts believed in the future of this alternative currency. Now in Dec 2017 with the Chicago Board of Exchange offering options to be traded on the digital asset, several countries developing their own cryptocurrencies, many of the large banks beginning to implement cryptocurrencies in their operations, and middle class Americans mortgaging their homes to invest, it is safe to say that this technology is here to stay and will continue to have more and more impact.

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) The shift from visual to audio interface will make computer interaction more natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant have made a name for themselves as being useful assistants not only for dictating text messages, but also for ordering things online, getting useful information, and navigating you.

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Innovation Immersion Program, you get an unforgettable opportunity to learn about the latest trends in your industry. Know the powerful insights to design successful models for your own company. We are happy to report that once the program was complete, the senior leaders at Thomson Reuters felt extremely confident about the corporate innovation trends that affect their core business. They were able to change individual operations and create new business units to capture the undiscovered market opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sum it up in one phrase, \u2018They found solutions!\u2019 <\/i>...and now we have a limited time opportunity for you. With the increased demand in the Fintech space, Silicon Valley Center has designed an exclusive Executive Immersion Program<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The participants will also find interesting insights about advancements in the field of digital lending and current innovations in payment value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you've already seen the applicable benefits of the last program, the next move is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017. These innovations weren\u2019t necessarily developed in 2017, rather in 2017 they reached a high enough market adoption to indicate that they will be adopted on a mass scale in the next year or two. As a corporate innovator you\u2019ll want to include these trends in your 2018 innovation road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Blockchain will create more transparent trade and ease of transacting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Only a few months ago still only a handful of die hard enthusiasts believed in the future of this alternative currency. Now in Dec 2017 with the Chicago Board of Exchange offering options to be traded on the digital asset, several countries developing their own cryptocurrencies, many of the large banks beginning to implement cryptocurrencies in their operations, and middle class Americans mortgaging their homes to invest, it is safe to say that this technology is here to stay and will continue to have more and more impact. SVIC has a developed a blockchain practice and we would be happy to answer your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) More millennials will work remotely in freelance positions and own fewer assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) The shift from visual to audio interface will make computer interaction more natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant have made a name for themselves as being useful assistants not only for dictating text messages, but also for ordering things online, getting useful information, and navigating you.

Isaac Newton said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were able to change individual operations and create new business units to capture the undiscovered market opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017.

Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low.

That\u2019s where an innovative firm like Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a> comes into the picture. We understood what Thomson Reuters was looking for and came up with an \u2018Innovation Immersive Program\u2019<\/i> to offer direction and initiate the process of digital transformation. Let's get into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Immersive Program - The roadmap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Newton said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!)

Let's face it. Modern technological advancements have already taken the practical science of artificial intelligence to unseen levels. AI is no longer limited to a robot beating a world chess master. In fact, artificial intelligence is likely to influence modern business trends at a faster pace. New age AI bots can just sift through the humongous amount of big data in a matter of seconds. These developments could potentially affect the future business models by improving the research reports and publishing capabilities. The question is, to what extent does AI tech impact upon the need for human researchers? Thomson Reuters was looking to solve this \u2018Man versus Machine\u2019<\/i> riddle. The massive mass media and information services firm was looking to explore disruptive models based on the AI concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where an innovative firm like Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a> comes into the picture. We understood what Thomson Reuters was looking for and came up with an \u2018Innovation Immersive Program\u2019<\/i> to offer direction and initiate the process of digital transformation.

We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more.

In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Innovation Immersion Program, you get an unforgettable opportunity to learn about the latest trends in your industry. Know the powerful insights to design successful models for your own company. We are happy to report that once the program was complete, the senior leaders at Thomson Reuters felt extremely confident about the corporate innovation trends that affect their core business. They were able to change individual operations and create new business units to capture the undiscovered market opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sum it up in one phrase, \u2018They found solutions!\u2019 <\/i>...and now we have a limited time opportunity for you. With the increased demand in the Fintech space, Silicon Valley Center has designed an exclusive Executive Immersion Program<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let's face it. Modern technological advancements have already taken the practical science of artificial intelligence to unseen levels. AI is no longer limited to a robot beating a world chess master. In fact, artificial intelligence is likely to influence modern business trends at a faster pace. New age AI bots can just sift through the humongous amount of big data in a matter of seconds. These developments could potentially affect the future business models by improving the research reports and publishing capabilities. The question is, to what extent does AI tech impact upon the need for human researchers? Thomson Reuters was looking to solve this \u2018Man versus Machine\u2019<\/i> riddle. The massive mass media and information services firm was looking to explore disruptive models based on the AI concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where an innovative firm like Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a> comes into the picture. We understood what Thomson Reuters was looking for and came up with an \u2018Innovation Immersive Program\u2019<\/i> to offer direction and initiate the process of digital transformation. Let's get into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Immersive Program - The roadmap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Newton said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In Silicon Valley, however, the status quo has always been seen as something in need of disruption, with technology the principal means of making that happen.

Let's face it. Modern technological advancements have already taken the practical science of artificial intelligence to unseen levels. AI is no longer limited to a robot beating a world chess master. In fact, artificial intelligence is likely to influence modern business trends at a faster pace. New age AI bots can just sift through the humongous amount of big data in a matter of seconds. These developments could potentially affect the future business models by improving the research reports and publishing capabilities. The question is, to what extent does AI tech impact upon the need for human researchers? Thomson Reuters was looking to solve this \u2018Man versus Machine\u2019<\/i> riddle. The massive mass media and information services firm was looking to explore disruptive models based on the AI concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where an innovative firm like Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a> comes into the picture. We understood what Thomson Reuters was looking for and came up with an \u2018Innovation Immersive Program\u2019<\/i> to offer direction and initiate the process of digital transformation. Let's get into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Immersive Program - The roadmap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Newton said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Innovation Immersion Program, you get an unforgettable opportunity to learn about the latest trends in your industry. Know the powerful insights to design successful models for your own company. We are happy to report that once the program was complete, the senior leaders at Thomson Reuters felt extremely confident about the corporate innovation trends that affect their core business. They were able to change individual operations and create new business units to capture the undiscovered market opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sum it up in one phrase, \u2018They found solutions!\u2019 <\/i>...and now we have a limited time opportunity for you. With the increased demand in the Fintech space, Silicon Valley Center has designed an exclusive Executive Immersion Program<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose is to address the challenges that entrepreneurs face in the field of Digital banking, Artificial intelligence, and Regulation technologies. The participants will also find interesting insights about advancements in the field of digital lending and current innovations in payment value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you've already seen the applicable benefits of the last program, the next move is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you've read so far, you're seriously interested in finding some business solutions. All that's left to do now is take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017. These innovations weren\u2019t necessarily developed in 2017, rather in 2017 they reached a high enough market adoption to indicate that they will be adopted on a mass scale in the next year or two. As a corporate innovator you\u2019ll want to include these trends in your 2018 innovation road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Blockchain will create more transparent trade and ease of transacting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Only a few months ago still only a handful of die hard enthusiasts believed in the future of this alternative currency. Now in Dec 2017 with the Chicago Board of Exchange offering options to be traded on the digital asset, several countries developing their own cryptocurrencies, many of the large banks beginning to implement cryptocurrencies in their operations, and middle class Americans mortgaging their homes to invest, it is safe to say that this technology is here to stay and will continue to have more and more impact. SVIC has a developed a blockchain practice and we would be happy to answer your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) More millennials will work remotely in freelance positions and own fewer assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) The shift from visual to audio interface will make computer interaction more natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant have made a name for themselves as being useful assistants not only for dictating text messages, but also for ordering things online, getting useful information, and navigating you. Over the course of 2018 expect to see more and more functionality shift from typing and screen based computer interaction to voice based computer interaction. Afterall talking is a more natural way for humans to communicate, and we prefer to do things as simply as possible. \u201cAlexa...send grandma flowers for her birthday.\u201d \u201cOK.

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017. These innovations weren\u2019t necessarily developed in 2017, rather in 2017 they reached a high enough market adoption to indicate that they will be adopted on a mass scale in the next year or two. As a corporate innovator you\u2019ll want to include these trends in your 2018 innovation road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only a few months ago still only a handful of die hard enthusiasts believed in the future of this alternative currency. Now in Dec 2017 with the Chicago Board of Exchange offering options to be traded on the digital asset, several countries developing their own cryptocurrencies, many of the large banks beginning to implement cryptocurrencies in their operations, and middle class Americans mortgaging their homes to invest, it is safe to say that this technology is here to stay and will continue to have more and more impact. SVIC has a developed a blockchain practice and we would be happy to answer your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet fulfilling our role meant more than just introducing the grain exporter to startups. We also took it to meetings at big companies which have nothing to do with agriculture like Google and Mercedes Benz; we connected it to innovation hubs like Rocketspace and The Vault; we helped it make links with venture capital firms like Mohr Davidow and Naiss. This was all in service of putting CBH on the path toward greater corporate innovation by showing the Australian company how the process works from all angles and how it is being practiced today by some of the world\u2019s leading organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new knowledge and networks CBH acquired during its time in Silicon Valley has put the company in a position from which it can genuinely look at new technologies as fertile grounds of opportunity and not as threats.

In Silicon Valley, however, the status quo has always been seen as something in need of disruption, with technology the principal means of making that happen.

Let's face it. Modern technological advancements have already taken the practical science of artificial intelligence to unseen levels. AI is no longer limited to a robot beating a world chess master. In fact, artificial intelligence is likely to influence modern business trends at a faster pace. New age AI bots can just sift through the humongous amount of big data in a matter of seconds. These developments could potentially affect the future business models by improving the research reports and publishing capabilities. The question is, to what extent does AI tech impact upon the need for human researchers? Thomson Reuters was looking to solve this \u2018Man versus Machine\u2019<\/i> riddle. The massive mass media and information services firm was looking to explore disruptive models based on the AI concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where an innovative firm like Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a> comes into the picture. We understood what Thomson Reuters was looking for and came up with an \u2018Innovation Immersive Program\u2019<\/i> to offer direction and initiate the process of digital transformation. Let's get into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Immersive Program - The roadmap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Newton said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let's face it. Modern technological advancements have already taken the practical science of artificial intelligence to unseen levels. AI is no longer limited to a robot beating a world chess master. In fact, artificial intelligence is likely to influence modern business trends at a faster pace. New age AI bots can just sift through the humongous amount of big data in a matter of seconds. These developments could potentially affect the future business models by improving the research reports and publishing capabilities. The question is, to what extent does AI tech impact upon the need for human researchers? Thomson Reuters was looking to solve this \u2018Man versus Machine\u2019<\/i> riddle. The massive mass media and information services firm was looking to explore disruptive models based on the AI concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where an innovative firm like Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a> comes into the picture. We understood what Thomson Reuters was looking for and came up with an \u2018Innovation Immersive Program\u2019<\/i> to offer direction and initiate the process of digital transformation. Let's get into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Immersive Program - The roadmap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Newton said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Innovation Immersion Program, you get an unforgettable opportunity to learn about the latest trends in your industry. Know the powerful insights to design successful models for your own company. We are happy to report that once the program was complete, the senior leaders at Thomson Reuters felt extremely confident about the corporate innovation trends that affect their core business. They were able to change individual operations and create new business units to capture the undiscovered market opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sum it up in one phrase, \u2018They found solutions!\u2019 <\/i>...and now we have a limited time opportunity for you. With the increased demand in the Fintech space, Silicon Valley Center has designed an exclusive Executive Immersion Program<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose is to address the challenges that entrepreneurs face in the field of Digital banking, Artificial intelligence, and Regulation technologies. The participants will also find interesting insights about advancements in the field of digital lending and current innovations in payment value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you've already seen the applicable benefits of the last program, the next move is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you've read so far, you're seriously interested in finding some business solutions. All that's left to do now is take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017. These innovations weren\u2019t necessarily developed in 2017, rather in 2017 they reached a high enough market adoption to indicate that they will be adopted on a mass scale in the next year or two. As a corporate innovator you\u2019ll want to include these trends in your 2018 innovation road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Blockchain will create more transparent trade and ease of transacting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Only a few months ago still only a handful of die hard enthusiasts believed in the future of this alternative currency. Now in Dec 2017 with the Chicago Board of Exchange offering options to be traded on the digital asset, several countries developing their own cryptocurrencies, many of the large banks beginning to implement cryptocurrencies in their operations, and middle class Americans mortgaging their homes to invest, it is safe to say that this technology is here to stay and will continue to have more and more impact. SVIC has a developed a blockchain practice and we would be happy to answer your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) More millennials will work remotely in freelance positions and own fewer assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) The shift from visual to audio interface will make computer interaction more natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant have made a name for themselves as being useful assistants not only for dictating text messages, but also for ordering things online, getting useful information, and navigating you. Over the course of 2018 expect to see more and more functionality shift from typing and screen based computer interaction to voice based computer interaction. Afterall talking is a more natural way for humans to communicate, and we prefer to do things as simply as possible. \u201cAlexa...send grandma flowers for her birthday.\u201d \u201cOK.

At SVIC we like to think we had a hand in driving all this activity.  We can\u2019t take all the credit of course, our function having been simply to help the CBH team understand not only the solutions technology offers today but also the answers it might be able to provide tomorrow, given the right investments. All we could do was offer a stimulus, with any further steps being CBH\u2019s to make, and make alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet fulfilling our role meant more than just introducing the grain exporter to startups. We also took it to meetings at big companies which have nothing to do with agriculture like Google and Mercedes Benz; we connected it to innovation hubs like Rocketspace and The Vault; we helped it make links with venture capital firms like Mohr Davidow and Naiss. This was all in service of putting CBH on the path toward greater corporate innovation by showing the Australian company how the process works from all angles and how it is being practiced today by some of the world\u2019s leading organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new knowledge and networks CBH acquired during its time in Silicon Valley has put the company in a position from which it can genuinely look at new technologies as fertile grounds of opportunity and not as threats. That represents a radical change of perspective and is a mindset which most large enterprises find it difficult to adopt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Silicon Valley, however, the status quo has always been seen as something in need of disruption, with technology the principal means of making that happen.

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017. These innovations weren\u2019t necessarily developed in 2017, rather in 2017 they reached a high enough market adoption to indicate that they will be adopted on a mass scale in the next year or two. As a corporate innovator you\u2019ll want to include these trends in your 2018 innovation road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Blockchain will create more transparent trade and ease of transacting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Only a few months ago still only a handful of die hard enthusiasts believed in the future of this alternative currency. Now in Dec 2017 with the Chicago Board of Exchange offering options to be traded on the digital asset, several countries developing their own cryptocurrencies, many of the large banks beginning to implement cryptocurrencies in their operations, and middle class Americans mortgaging their homes to invest, it is safe to say that this technology is here to stay and will continue to have more and more impact. SVIC has a developed a blockchain practice and we would be happy to answer your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) More millennials will work remotely in freelance positions and own fewer assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) The shift from visual to audio interface will make computer interaction more natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant have made a name for themselves as being useful assistants not only for dictating text messages, but also for ordering things online, getting useful information, and navigating you.

Since its visit with us to Silicon Valley, CBH has launched its own software platform and taken steps to significantly optimize its supply chain operations. Clearly, the company has fully taken to heart the need for innovation. No doubt it will soon be partnering with a growing list of startups and setting off on all manner of interesting ventures to discover the next big breakthrough in grain agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SVIC we like to think we had a hand in driving all this activity.  We can\u2019t take all the credit of course, our function having been simply to help the CBH team understand not only the solutions technology offers today but also the answers it might be able to provide tomorrow, given the right investments. All we could do was offer a stimulus, with any further steps being CBH\u2019s to make, and make alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yet fulfilling our role meant more than just introducing the grain exporter to startups. We also took it to meetings at big companies which have nothing to do with agriculture like Google and Mercedes Benz; we connected it to innovation hubs like Rocketspace and The Vault; we helped it make links with venture capital firms like Mohr Davidow and Naiss. This was all in service of putting CBH on the path toward greater corporate innovation by showing the Australian company how the process works from all angles and how it is being practiced today by some of the world\u2019s leading organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new knowledge and networks CBH acquired during its time in Silicon Valley has put the company in a position from which it can genuinely look at new technologies as fertile grounds of opportunity and not as threats. That represents a radical change of perspective and is a mindset which most large enterprises find it difficult to adopt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Silicon Valley, however, the status quo has always been seen as something in need of disruption, with technology the principal means of making that happen. That\u2019s why the tech hub is an endlessly fascinating place to be; we know it and now that CBH knows it too, we expect they\u2019ll be back very soon.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Fertile Plains of Innovation: Discovering AgriTech in Silicon Valley","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-27 20:45:15","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-28 04:45:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/siliconvalley.center\/blog\/fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":816,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-27 00:14:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-27 08:14:00","post_content":"\n

Let's face it. Modern technological advancements have already taken the practical science of artificial intelligence to unseen levels. AI is no longer limited to a robot beating a world chess master. In fact, artificial intelligence is likely to influence modern business trends at a faster pace. New age AI bots can just sift through the humongous amount of big data in a matter of seconds. These developments could potentially affect the future business models by improving the research reports and publishing capabilities. The question is, to what extent does AI tech impact upon the need for human researchers? Thomson Reuters was looking to solve this \u2018Man versus Machine\u2019<\/i> riddle. The massive mass media and information services firm was looking to explore disruptive models based on the AI concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where an innovative firm like Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a> comes into the picture. We understood what Thomson Reuters was looking for and came up with an \u2018Innovation Immersive Program\u2019<\/i> to offer direction and initiate the process of digital transformation. Let's get into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Immersive Program - The roadmap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Newton said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Innovation Immersion Program, you get an unforgettable opportunity to learn about the latest trends in your industry. Know the powerful insights to design successful models for your own company. We are happy to report that once the program was complete, the senior leaders at Thomson Reuters felt extremely confident about the corporate innovation trends that affect their core business. They were able to change individual operations and create new business units to capture the undiscovered market opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sum it up in one phrase, \u2018They found solutions!\u2019 <\/i>...and now we have a limited time opportunity for you. With the increased demand in the Fintech space, Silicon Valley Center has designed an exclusive Executive Immersion Program<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose is to address the challenges that entrepreneurs face in the field of Digital banking, Artificial intelligence, and Regulation technologies. The participants will also find interesting insights about advancements in the field of digital lending and current innovations in payment value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you've already seen the applicable benefits of the last program, the next move is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you've read so far, you're seriously interested in finding some business solutions. All that's left to do now is take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let's face it. Modern technological advancements have already taken the practical science of artificial intelligence to unseen levels. AI is no longer limited to a robot beating a world chess master. In fact, artificial intelligence is likely to influence modern business trends at a faster pace. New age AI bots can just sift through the humongous amount of big data in a matter of seconds. These developments could potentially affect the future business models by improving the research reports and publishing capabilities. The question is, to what extent does AI tech impact upon the need for human researchers? Thomson Reuters was looking to solve this \u2018Man versus Machine\u2019<\/i> riddle. The massive mass media and information services firm was looking to explore disruptive models based on the AI concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where an innovative firm like Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a> comes into the picture. We understood what Thomson Reuters was looking for and came up with an \u2018Innovation Immersive Program\u2019<\/i> to offer direction and initiate the process of digital transformation. Let's get into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Immersive Program - The roadmap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Newton said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Innovation Immersion Program, you get an unforgettable opportunity to learn about the latest trends in your industry. Know the powerful insights to design successful models for your own company. We are happy to report that once the program was complete, the senior leaders at Thomson Reuters felt extremely confident about the corporate innovation trends that affect their core business. They were able to change individual operations and create new business units to capture the undiscovered market opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sum it up in one phrase, \u2018They found solutions!\u2019 <\/i>...and now we have a limited time opportunity for you. With the increased demand in the Fintech space, Silicon Valley Center has designed an exclusive Executive Immersion Program<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose is to address the challenges that entrepreneurs face in the field of Digital banking, Artificial intelligence, and Regulation technologies. The participants will also find interesting insights about advancements in the field of digital lending and current innovations in payment value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you've already seen the applicable benefits of the last program, the next move is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you've read so far, you're seriously interested in finding some business solutions. All that's left to do now is take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017. These innovations weren\u2019t necessarily developed in 2017, rather in 2017 they reached a high enough market adoption to indicate that they will be adopted on a mass scale in the next year or two. As a corporate innovator you\u2019ll want to include these trends in your 2018 innovation road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Blockchain will create more transparent trade and ease of transacting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Only a few months ago still only a handful of die hard enthusiasts believed in the future of this alternative currency. Now in Dec 2017 with the Chicago Board of Exchange offering options to be traded on the digital asset, several countries developing their own cryptocurrencies, many of the large banks beginning to implement cryptocurrencies in their operations, and middle class Americans mortgaging their homes to invest, it is safe to say that this technology is here to stay and will continue to have more and more impact. SVIC has a developed a blockchain practice and we would be happy to answer your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) More millennials will work remotely in freelance positions and own fewer assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) The shift from visual to audio interface will make computer interaction more natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant have made a name for themselves as being useful assistants not only for dictating text messages, but also for ordering things online, getting useful information, and navigating you. Over the course of 2018 expect to see more and more functionality shift from typing and screen based computer interaction to voice based computer interaction. Afterall talking is a more natural way for humans to communicate, and we prefer to do things as simply as possible. \u201cAlexa...send grandma flowers for her birthday.\u201d \u201cOK.

Unfortunately for CBH, Blue River Technology\u2019s work is currently focused on crops other than grain. But just the fact of seeing the pioneering work being done by the startup was enough to convince the Australian exporter once and for all that being more involved in the Silicon Valley scene is vital. The team realized that if CBH could be the one to discover the next revolutionary breakthrough in wheat and barley cultivation, the advantages to the business could be almost inconceivably large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug in and Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since its visit with us to Silicon Valley, CBH has launched its own software platform and taken steps to significantly optimize its supply chain operations. Clearly, the company has fully taken to heart the need for innovation. No doubt it will soon be partnering with a growing list of startups and setting off on all manner of interesting ventures to discover the next big breakthrough in grain agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SVIC we like to think we had a hand in driving all this activity.  We can\u2019t take all the credit of course, our function having been simply to help the CBH team understand not only the solutions technology offers today but also the answers it might be able to provide tomorrow, given the right investments. All we could do was offer a stimulus, with any further steps being CBH\u2019s to make, and make alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yet fulfilling our role meant more than just introducing the grain exporter to startups. We also took it to meetings at big companies which have nothing to do with agriculture like Google and Mercedes Benz; we connected it to innovation hubs like Rocketspace and The Vault; we helped it make links with venture capital firms like Mohr Davidow and Naiss. This was all in service of putting CBH on the path toward greater corporate innovation by showing the Australian company how the process works from all angles and how it is being practiced today by some of the world\u2019s leading organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new knowledge and networks CBH acquired during its time in Silicon Valley has put the company in a position from which it can genuinely look at new technologies as fertile grounds of opportunity and not as threats. That represents a radical change of perspective and is a mindset which most large enterprises find it difficult to adopt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Silicon Valley, however, the status quo has always been seen as something in need of disruption, with technology the principal means of making that happen. That\u2019s why the tech hub is an endlessly fascinating place to be; we know it and now that CBH knows it too, we expect they\u2019ll be back very soon.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Fertile Plains of Innovation: Discovering AgriTech in Silicon Valley","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-27 20:45:15","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-28 04:45:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/siliconvalley.center\/blog\/fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":816,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-27 00:14:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-27 08:14:00","post_content":"\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017. These innovations weren\u2019t necessarily developed in 2017, rather in 2017 they reached a high enough market adoption to indicate that they will be adopted on a mass scale in the next year or two. As a corporate innovator you\u2019ll want to include these trends in your 2018 innovation road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Blockchain will create more transparent trade and ease of transacting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model.

The appeal was in the marriage of computer vision and artificial intelligence: Blue River Technology\u2019s smart machines not only independently spray crops with herbicides to eliminate weeds, they also analyze each plant in a field to determine exactly what chemicals are needed where and in what quantities. Using this approach the startup is hoping it can do some good for the world by tackling herbicide-resistant weeds, a growing challenge to agriculture globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/WS3JRydN9sQ\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately for CBH, Blue River Technology\u2019s work is currently focused on crops other than grain. But just the fact of seeing the pioneering work being done by the startup was enough to convince the Australian exporter once and for all that being more involved in the Silicon Valley scene is vital. The team realized that if CBH could be the one to discover the next revolutionary breakthrough in wheat and barley cultivation, the advantages to the business could be almost inconceivably large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug in and Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since its visit with us to Silicon Valley, CBH has launched its own software platform and taken steps to significantly optimize its supply chain operations. Clearly, the company has fully taken to heart the need for innovation. No doubt it will soon be partnering with a growing list of startups and setting off on all manner of interesting ventures to discover the next big breakthrough in grain agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SVIC we like to think we had a hand in driving all this activity.  We can\u2019t take all the credit of course, our function having been simply to help the CBH team understand not only the solutions technology offers today but also the answers it might be able to provide tomorrow, given the right investments. All we could do was offer a stimulus, with any further steps being CBH\u2019s to make, and make alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yet fulfilling our role meant more than just introducing the grain exporter to startups. We also took it to meetings at big companies which have nothing to do with agriculture like Google and Mercedes Benz; we connected it to innovation hubs like Rocketspace and The Vault; we helped it make links with venture capital firms like Mohr Davidow and Naiss. This was all in service of putting CBH on the path toward greater corporate innovation by showing the Australian company how the process works from all angles and how it is being practiced today by some of the world\u2019s leading organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new knowledge and networks CBH acquired during its time in Silicon Valley has put the company in a position from which it can genuinely look at new technologies as fertile grounds of opportunity and not as threats. That represents a radical change of perspective and is a mindset which most large enterprises find it difficult to adopt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Silicon Valley, however, the status quo has always been seen as something in need of disruption, with technology the principal means of making that happen. That\u2019s why the tech hub is an endlessly fascinating place to be; we know it and now that CBH knows it too, we expect they\u2019ll be back very soon.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Fertile Plains of Innovation: Discovering AgriTech in Silicon Valley","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-27 20:45:15","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-28 04:45:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/siliconvalley.center\/blog\/fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":816,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-27 00:14:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-27 08:14:00","post_content":"\n

Let's face it. Modern technological advancements have already taken the practical science of artificial intelligence to unseen levels. AI is no longer limited to a robot beating a world chess master. In fact, artificial intelligence is likely to influence modern business trends at a faster pace. New age AI bots can just sift through the humongous amount of big data in a matter of seconds. These developments could potentially affect the future business models by improving the research reports and publishing capabilities. The question is, to what extent does AI tech impact upon the need for human researchers? Thomson Reuters was looking to solve this \u2018Man versus Machine\u2019<\/i> riddle. The massive mass media and information services firm was looking to explore disruptive models based on the AI concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where an innovative firm like Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a> comes into the picture. We understood what Thomson Reuters was looking for and came up with an \u2018Innovation Immersive Program\u2019<\/i> to offer direction and initiate the process of digital transformation. Let's get into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Immersive Program - The roadmap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Newton said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, so innovative. But the best, as they say, was yet to come. It wasn\u2019t until the fifth and final day of the tour that CBH met Blue River Technology, a startup which proved to be the most inspiring of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appeal was in the marriage of computer vision and artificial intelligence: Blue River Technology\u2019s smart machines not only independently spray crops with herbicides to eliminate weeds, they also analyze each plant in a field to determine exactly what chemicals are needed where and in what quantities. Using this approach the startup is hoping it can do some good for the world by tackling herbicide-resistant weeds, a growing challenge to agriculture globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately for CBH, Blue River Technology\u2019s work is currently focused on crops other than grain. But just the fact of seeing the pioneering work being done by the startup was enough to convince the Australian exporter once and for all that being more involved in the Silicon Valley scene is vital. The team realized that if CBH could be the one to discover the next revolutionary breakthrough in wheat and barley cultivation, the advantages to the business could be almost inconceivably large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug in and Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since its visit with us to Silicon Valley, CBH has launched its own software platform and taken steps to significantly optimize its supply chain operations. Clearly, the company has fully taken to heart the need for innovation. No doubt it will soon be partnering with a growing list of startups and setting off on all manner of interesting ventures to discover the next big breakthrough in grain agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SVIC we like to think we had a hand in driving all this activity.  We can\u2019t take all the credit of course, our function having been simply to help the CBH team understand not only the solutions technology offers today but also the answers it might be able to provide tomorrow, given the right investments. All we could do was offer a stimulus, with any further steps being CBH\u2019s to make, and make alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet fulfilling our role meant more than just introducing the grain exporter to startups. We also took it to meetings at big companies which have nothing to do with agriculture like Google and Mercedes Benz; we connected it to innovation hubs like Rocketspace and The Vault; we helped it make links with venture capital firms like Mohr Davidow and Naiss. This was all in service of putting CBH on the path toward greater corporate innovation by showing the Australian company how the process works from all angles and how it is being practiced today by some of the world\u2019s leading organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new knowledge and networks CBH acquired during its time in Silicon Valley has put the company in a position from which it can genuinely look at new technologies as fertile grounds of opportunity and not as threats. That represents a radical change of perspective and is a mindset which most large enterprises find it difficult to adopt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Silicon Valley, however, the status quo has always been seen as something in need of disruption, with technology the principal means of making that happen. That\u2019s why the tech hub is an endlessly fascinating place to be; we know it and now that CBH knows it too, we expect they\u2019ll be back very soon.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Fertile Plains of Innovation: Discovering AgriTech in Silicon Valley","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-27 20:45:15","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-28 04:45:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/siliconvalley.center\/blog\/fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":816,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-27 00:14:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-27 08:14:00","post_content":"\n

Let's face it. Modern technological advancements have already taken the practical science of artificial intelligence to unseen levels. AI is no longer limited to a robot beating a world chess master. In fact, artificial intelligence is likely to influence modern business trends at a faster pace. New age AI bots can just sift through the humongous amount of big data in a matter of seconds. These developments could potentially affect the future business models by improving the research reports and publishing capabilities. The question is, to what extent does AI tech impact upon the need for human researchers? Thomson Reuters was looking to solve this \u2018Man versus Machine\u2019<\/i> riddle. The massive mass media and information services firm was looking to explore disruptive models based on the AI concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where an innovative firm like Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a> comes into the picture. We understood what Thomson Reuters was looking for and came up with an \u2018Innovation Immersive Program\u2019<\/i> to offer direction and initiate the process of digital transformation. Let's get into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Immersive Program - The roadmap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Newton said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Innovation Immersion Program, you get an unforgettable opportunity to learn about the latest trends in your industry. Know the powerful insights to design successful models for your own company. We are happy to report that once the program was complete, the senior leaders at Thomson Reuters felt extremely confident about the corporate innovation trends that affect their core business. They were able to change individual operations and create new business units to capture the undiscovered market opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sum it up in one phrase, \u2018They found solutions!\u2019 <\/i>...and now we have a limited time opportunity for you. With the increased demand in the Fintech space, Silicon Valley Center has designed an exclusive Executive Immersion Program<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose is to address the challenges that entrepreneurs face in the field of Digital banking, Artificial intelligence, and Regulation technologies. The participants will also find interesting insights about advancements in the field of digital lending and current innovations in payment value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you've already seen the applicable benefits of the last program, the next move is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you've read so far, you're seriously interested in finding some business solutions. All that's left to do now is take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017. These innovations weren\u2019t necessarily developed in 2017, rather in 2017 they reached a high enough market adoption to indicate that they will be adopted on a mass scale in the next year or two. As a corporate innovator you\u2019ll want to include these trends in your 2018 innovation road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Blockchain will create more transparent trade and ease of transacting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Only a few months ago still only a handful of die hard enthusiasts believed in the future of this alternative currency. Now in Dec 2017 with the Chicago Board of Exchange offering options to be traded on the digital asset, several countries developing their own cryptocurrencies, many of the large banks beginning to implement cryptocurrencies in their operations, and middle class Americans mortgaging their homes to invest, it is safe to say that this technology is here to stay and will continue to have more and more impact. SVIC has a developed a blockchain practice and we would be happy to answer your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) More millennials will work remotely in freelance positions and own fewer assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) The shift from visual to audio interface will make computer interaction more natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant have made a name for themselves as being useful assistants not only for dictating text messages, but also for ordering things online, getting useful information, and navigating you. Over the course of 2018 expect to see more and more functionality shift from typing and screen based computer interaction to voice based computer interaction. Afterall talking is a more natural way for humans to communicate, and we prefer to do things as simply as possible. \u201cAlexa...send grandma flowers for her birthday.\u201d \u201cOK.

Amazon Go can make it much easier to get in and out of a store. While currently only a pilot in a small store near Amazon HQ in Seattle, Amazon Go has huge potential to make shopping easier.

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further learnings came at a meeting with Granular where CBH found out about how cloud computing and big data analytics can help growers better manage resources in order to increase yields and profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So far, so innovative. But the best, as they say, was yet to come. It wasn\u2019t until the fifth and final day of the tour that CBH met Blue River Technology, a startup which proved to be the most inspiring of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appeal was in the marriage of computer vision and artificial intelligence: Blue River Technology\u2019s smart machines not only independently spray crops with herbicides to eliminate weeds, they also analyze each plant in a field to determine exactly what chemicals are needed where and in what quantities. Using this approach the startup is hoping it can do some good for the world by tackling herbicide-resistant weeds, a growing challenge to agriculture globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/WS3JRydN9sQ\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately for CBH, Blue River Technology\u2019s work is currently focused on crops other than grain. But just the fact of seeing the pioneering work being done by the startup was enough to convince the Australian exporter once and for all that being more involved in the Silicon Valley scene is vital. The team realized that if CBH could be the one to discover the next revolutionary breakthrough in wheat and barley cultivation, the advantages to the business could be almost inconceivably large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug in and Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since its visit with us to Silicon Valley, CBH has launched its own software platform and taken steps to significantly optimize its supply chain operations. Clearly, the company has fully taken to heart the need for innovation. No doubt it will soon be partnering with a growing list of startups and setting off on all manner of interesting ventures to discover the next big breakthrough in grain agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SVIC we like to think we had a hand in driving all this activity.  We can\u2019t take all the credit of course, our function having been simply to help the CBH team understand not only the solutions technology offers today but also the answers it might be able to provide tomorrow, given the right investments. All we could do was offer a stimulus, with any further steps being CBH\u2019s to make, and make alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yet fulfilling our role meant more than just introducing the grain exporter to startups. We also took it to meetings at big companies which have nothing to do with agriculture like Google and Mercedes Benz; we connected it to innovation hubs like Rocketspace and The Vault; we helped it make links with venture capital firms like Mohr Davidow and Naiss. This was all in service of putting CBH on the path toward greater corporate innovation by showing the Australian company how the process works from all angles and how it is being practiced today by some of the world\u2019s leading organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new knowledge and networks CBH acquired during its time in Silicon Valley has put the company in a position from which it can genuinely look at new technologies as fertile grounds of opportunity and not as threats. That represents a radical change of perspective and is a mindset which most large enterprises find it difficult to adopt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Silicon Valley, however, the status quo has always been seen as something in need of disruption, with technology the principal means of making that happen. That\u2019s why the tech hub is an endlessly fascinating place to be; we know it and now that CBH knows it too, we expect they\u2019ll be back very soon.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Fertile Plains of Innovation: Discovering AgriTech in Silicon Valley","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-27 20:45:15","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-28 04:45:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/siliconvalley.center\/blog\/fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":816,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-27 00:14:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-27 08:14:00","post_content":"\n

Let's face it. Modern technological advancements have already taken the practical science of artificial intelligence to unseen levels. AI is no longer limited to a robot beating a world chess master. In fact, artificial intelligence is likely to influence modern business trends at a faster pace. New age AI bots can just sift through the humongous amount of big data in a matter of seconds. These developments could potentially affect the future business models by improving the research reports and publishing capabilities. The question is, to what extent does AI tech impact upon the need for human researchers? Thomson Reuters was looking to solve this \u2018Man versus Machine\u2019<\/i> riddle. The massive mass media and information services firm was looking to explore disruptive models based on the AI concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where an innovative firm like Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a> comes into the picture. We understood what Thomson Reuters was looking for and came up with an \u2018Innovation Immersive Program\u2019<\/i> to offer direction and initiate the process of digital transformation. Let's get into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Immersive Program - The roadmap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Newton said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That characterization is something of a stereotype but it proved to hold true for CBH. That was why we introduced the company to Planet, a startup building and operating satellites to collect data and imagery on the Earth\u2019s landmass. The application of such technology to agriculture and the advantages it can bring to farmers were immediately clear to CBH, which was eager to adopt Planet\u2019s approach for a platform of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further learnings came at a meeting with Granular where CBH found out about how cloud computing and big data analytics can help growers better manage resources in order to increase yields and profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, so innovative. But the best, as they say, was yet to come. It wasn\u2019t until the fifth and final day of the tour that CBH met Blue River Technology, a startup which proved to be the most inspiring of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appeal was in the marriage of computer vision and artificial intelligence: Blue River Technology\u2019s smart machines not only independently spray crops with herbicides to eliminate weeds, they also analyze each plant in a field to determine exactly what chemicals are needed where and in what quantities. Using this approach the startup is hoping it can do some good for the world by tackling herbicide-resistant weeds, a growing challenge to agriculture globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately for CBH, Blue River Technology\u2019s work is currently focused on crops other than grain. But just the fact of seeing the pioneering work being done by the startup was enough to convince the Australian exporter once and for all that being more involved in the Silicon Valley scene is vital. The team realized that if CBH could be the one to discover the next revolutionary breakthrough in wheat and barley cultivation, the advantages to the business could be almost inconceivably large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug in and Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since its visit with us to Silicon Valley, CBH has launched its own software platform and taken steps to significantly optimize its supply chain operations. Clearly, the company has fully taken to heart the need for innovation. No doubt it will soon be partnering with a growing list of startups and setting off on all manner of interesting ventures to discover the next big breakthrough in grain agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SVIC we like to think we had a hand in driving all this activity.  We can\u2019t take all the credit of course, our function having been simply to help the CBH team understand not only the solutions technology offers today but also the answers it might be able to provide tomorrow, given the right investments. All we could do was offer a stimulus, with any further steps being CBH\u2019s to make, and make alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet fulfilling our role meant more than just introducing the grain exporter to startups. We also took it to meetings at big companies which have nothing to do with agriculture like Google and Mercedes Benz; we connected it to innovation hubs like Rocketspace and The Vault; we helped it make links with venture capital firms like Mohr Davidow and Naiss. This was all in service of putting CBH on the path toward greater corporate innovation by showing the Australian company how the process works from all angles and how it is being practiced today by some of the world\u2019s leading organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new knowledge and networks CBH acquired during its time in Silicon Valley has put the company in a position from which it can genuinely look at new technologies as fertile grounds of opportunity and not as threats. That represents a radical change of perspective and is a mindset which most large enterprises find it difficult to adopt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Silicon Valley, however, the status quo has always been seen as something in need of disruption, with technology the principal means of making that happen. That\u2019s why the tech hub is an endlessly fascinating place to be; we know it and now that CBH knows it too, we expect they\u2019ll be back very soon.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Fertile Plains of Innovation: Discovering AgriTech in Silicon Valley","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-27 20:45:15","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-28 04:45:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/siliconvalley.center\/blog\/fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":816,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-27 00:14:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-27 08:14:00","post_content":"\n

Let's face it. Modern technological advancements have already taken the practical science of artificial intelligence to unseen levels. AI is no longer limited to a robot beating a world chess master. In fact, artificial intelligence is likely to influence modern business trends at a faster pace. New age AI bots can just sift through the humongous amount of big data in a matter of seconds. These developments could potentially affect the future business models by improving the research reports and publishing capabilities. The question is, to what extent does AI tech impact upon the need for human researchers? Thomson Reuters was looking to solve this \u2018Man versus Machine\u2019<\/i> riddle. The massive mass media and information services firm was looking to explore disruptive models based on the AI concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where an innovative firm like Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a> comes into the picture. We understood what Thomson Reuters was looking for and came up with an \u2018Innovation Immersive Program\u2019<\/i> to offer direction and initiate the process of digital transformation. Let's get into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Immersive Program - The roadmap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Newton said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Innovation Immersion Program, you get an unforgettable opportunity to learn about the latest trends in your industry. Know the powerful insights to design successful models for your own company. We are happy to report that once the program was complete, the senior leaders at Thomson Reuters felt extremely confident about the corporate innovation trends that affect their core business. They were able to change individual operations and create new business units to capture the undiscovered market opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sum it up in one phrase, \u2018They found solutions!\u2019 <\/i>...and now we have a limited time opportunity for you. With the increased demand in the Fintech space, Silicon Valley Center has designed an exclusive Executive Immersion Program<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose is to address the challenges that entrepreneurs face in the field of Digital banking, Artificial intelligence, and Regulation technologies. The participants will also find interesting insights about advancements in the field of digital lending and current innovations in payment value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you've already seen the applicable benefits of the last program, the next move is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you've read so far, you're seriously interested in finding some business solutions. All that's left to do now is take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017. These innovations weren\u2019t necessarily developed in 2017, rather in 2017 they reached a high enough market adoption to indicate that they will be adopted on a mass scale in the next year or two. As a corporate innovator you\u2019ll want to include these trends in your 2018 innovation road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Blockchain will create more transparent trade and ease of transacting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Only a few months ago still only a handful of die hard enthusiasts believed in the future of this alternative currency. Now in Dec 2017 with the Chicago Board of Exchange offering options to be traded on the digital asset, several countries developing their own cryptocurrencies, many of the large banks beginning to implement cryptocurrencies in their operations, and middle class Americans mortgaging their homes to invest, it is safe to say that this technology is here to stay and will continue to have more and more impact. SVIC has a developed a blockchain practice and we would be happy to answer your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) More millennials will work remotely in freelance positions and own fewer assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) The shift from visual to audio interface will make computer interaction more natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant have made a name for themselves as being useful assistants not only for dictating text messages, but also for ordering things online, getting useful information, and navigating you.

One of our specialties at SVIC is bridging the gap between corporates and early stage enterprises. Although seemingly inherently opposed to one another, the two classes of business are in many ways a natural fit. Where corporations have the money and the client base startups crave, startups have the innovative ideas and tech-savvy personnel so often needed at big companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let's face it. Modern technological advancements have already taken the practical science of artificial intelligence to unseen levels. AI is no longer limited to a robot beating a world chess master. In fact, artificial intelligence is likely to influence modern business trends at a faster pace. New age AI bots can just sift through the humongous amount of big data in a matter of seconds. These developments could potentially affect the future business models by improving the research reports and publishing capabilities. The question is, to what extent does AI tech impact upon the need for human researchers? Thomson Reuters was looking to solve this \u2018Man versus Machine\u2019<\/i> riddle. The massive mass media and information services firm was looking to explore disruptive models based on the AI concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where an innovative firm like Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a> comes into the picture. We understood what Thomson Reuters was looking for and came up with an \u2018Innovation Immersive Program\u2019<\/i> to offer direction and initiate the process of digital transformation. Let's get into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Immersive Program - The roadmap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Newton said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Innovation Immersion Program, you get an unforgettable opportunity to learn about the latest trends in your industry. Know the powerful insights to design successful models for your own company. We are happy to report that once the program was complete, the senior leaders at Thomson Reuters felt extremely confident about the corporate innovation trends that affect their core business. They were able to change individual operations and create new business units to capture the undiscovered market opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sum it up in one phrase, \u2018They found solutions!\u2019 <\/i>...and now we have a limited time opportunity for you. With the increased demand in the Fintech space, Silicon Valley Center has designed an exclusive Executive Immersion Program<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose is to address the challenges that entrepreneurs face in the field of Digital banking, Artificial intelligence, and Regulation technologies. The participants will also find interesting insights about advancements in the field of digital lending and current innovations in payment value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you've already seen the applicable benefits of the last program, the next move is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you've read so far, you're seriously interested in finding some business solutions. All that's left to do now is take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017. These innovations weren\u2019t necessarily developed in 2017, rather in 2017 they reached a high enough market adoption to indicate that they will be adopted on a mass scale in the next year or two. As a corporate innovator you\u2019ll want to include these trends in your 2018 innovation road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Blockchain will create more transparent trade and ease of transacting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Only a few months ago still only a handful of die hard enthusiasts believed in the future of this alternative currency. Now in Dec 2017 with the Chicago Board of Exchange offering options to be traded on the digital asset, several countries developing their own cryptocurrencies, many of the large banks beginning to implement cryptocurrencies in their operations, and middle class Americans mortgaging their homes to invest, it is safe to say that this technology is here to stay and will continue to have more and more impact. SVIC has a developed a blockchain practice and we would be happy to answer your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) More millennials will work remotely in freelance positions and own fewer assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) The shift from visual to audio interface will make computer interaction more natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant have made a name for themselves as being useful assistants not only for dictating text messages, but also for ordering things online, getting useful information, and navigating you. Over the course of 2018 expect to see more and more functionality shift from typing and screen based computer interaction to voice based computer interaction. Afterall talking is a more natural way for humans to communicate, and we prefer to do things as simply as possible. \u201cAlexa...send grandma flowers for her birthday.\u201d \u201cOK.

Startup Engagement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of our specialties at SVIC is bridging the gap between corporates and early stage enterprises. Although seemingly inherently opposed to one another, the two classes of business are in many ways a natural fit. Where corporations have the money and the client base startups crave, startups have the innovative ideas and tech-savvy personnel so often needed at big companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That characterization is something of a stereotype but it proved to hold true for CBH. That was why we introduced the company to Planet, a startup building and operating satellites to collect data and imagery on the Earth\u2019s landmass. The application of such technology to agriculture and the advantages it can bring to farmers were immediately clear to CBH, which was eager to adopt Planet\u2019s approach for a platform of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further learnings came at a meeting with Granular where CBH found out about how cloud computing and big data analytics can help growers better manage resources in order to increase yields and profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So far, so innovative. But the best, as they say, was yet to come. It wasn\u2019t until the fifth and final day of the tour that CBH met Blue River Technology, a startup which proved to be the most inspiring of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appeal was in the marriage of computer vision and artificial intelligence: Blue River Technology\u2019s smart machines not only independently spray crops with herbicides to eliminate weeds, they also analyze each plant in a field to determine exactly what chemicals are needed where and in what quantities. Using this approach the startup is hoping it can do some good for the world by tackling herbicide-resistant weeds, a growing challenge to agriculture globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/WS3JRydN9sQ\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately for CBH, Blue River Technology\u2019s work is currently focused on crops other than grain. But just the fact of seeing the pioneering work being done by the startup was enough to convince the Australian exporter once and for all that being more involved in the Silicon Valley scene is vital. The team realized that if CBH could be the one to discover the next revolutionary breakthrough in wheat and barley cultivation, the advantages to the business could be almost inconceivably large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug in and Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since its visit with us to Silicon Valley, CBH has launched its own software platform and taken steps to significantly optimize its supply chain operations. Clearly, the company has fully taken to heart the need for innovation. No doubt it will soon be partnering with a growing list of startups and setting off on all manner of interesting ventures to discover the next big breakthrough in grain agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SVIC we like to think we had a hand in driving all this activity.  We can\u2019t take all the credit of course, our function having been simply to help the CBH team understand not only the solutions technology offers today but also the answers it might be able to provide tomorrow, given the right investments. All we could do was offer a stimulus, with any further steps being CBH\u2019s to make, and make alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yet fulfilling our role meant more than just introducing the grain exporter to startups. We also took it to meetings at big companies which have nothing to do with agriculture like Google and Mercedes Benz; we connected it to innovation hubs like Rocketspace and The Vault; we helped it make links with venture capital firms like Mohr Davidow and Naiss. This was all in service of putting CBH on the path toward greater corporate innovation by showing the Australian company how the process works from all angles and how it is being practiced today by some of the world\u2019s leading organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new knowledge and networks CBH acquired during its time in Silicon Valley has put the company in a position from which it can genuinely look at new technologies as fertile grounds of opportunity and not as threats. That represents a radical change of perspective and is a mindset which most large enterprises find it difficult to adopt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Silicon Valley, however, the status quo has always been seen as something in need of disruption, with technology the principal means of making that happen. That\u2019s why the tech hub is an endlessly fascinating place to be; we know it and now that CBH knows it too, we expect they\u2019ll be back very soon.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Fertile Plains of Innovation: Discovering AgriTech in Silicon Valley","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-27 20:45:15","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-28 04:45:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/siliconvalley.center\/blog\/fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":816,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-27 00:14:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-27 08:14:00","post_content":"\n

With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are happy to report that once the program was complete, the senior leaders at Thomson Reuters felt extremely confident about the corporate innovation trends that affect their core business. They were able to change individual operations and create new business units to capture the undiscovered market opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sum it up in one phrase, \u2018They found solutions!\u2019 <\/i>...and now we have a limited time opportunity for you. With the increased demand in the Fintech space, Silicon Valley Center has designed an exclusive Executive Immersion Program<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBH\u2019s program was five days long. Here are the highlights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Startup Engagement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of our specialties at SVIC is bridging the gap between corporates and early stage enterprises. Although seemingly inherently opposed to one another, the two classes of business are in many ways a natural fit. Where corporations have the money and the client base startups crave, startups have the innovative ideas and tech-savvy personnel so often needed at big companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That characterization is something of a stereotype but it proved to hold true for CBH. That was why we introduced the company to Planet, a startup building and operating satellites to collect data and imagery on the Earth\u2019s landmass. The application of such technology to agriculture and the advantages it can bring to farmers were immediately clear to CBH, which was eager to adopt Planet\u2019s approach for a platform of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further learnings came at a meeting with Granular where CBH found out about how cloud computing and big data analytics can help growers better manage resources in order to increase yields and profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So far, so innovative. But the best, as they say, was yet to come. It wasn\u2019t until the fifth and final day of the tour that CBH met Blue River Technology, a startup which proved to be the most inspiring of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appeal was in the marriage of computer vision and artificial intelligence: Blue River Technology\u2019s smart machines not only independently spray crops with herbicides to eliminate weeds, they also analyze each plant in a field to determine exactly what chemicals are needed where and in what quantities. Using this approach the startup is hoping it can do some good for the world by tackling herbicide-resistant weeds, a growing challenge to agriculture globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/WS3JRydN9sQ\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately for CBH, Blue River Technology\u2019s work is currently focused on crops other than grain. But just the fact of seeing the pioneering work being done by the startup was enough to convince the Australian exporter once and for all that being more involved in the Silicon Valley scene is vital. The team realized that if CBH could be the one to discover the next revolutionary breakthrough in wheat and barley cultivation, the advantages to the business could be almost inconceivably large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug in and Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since its visit with us to Silicon Valley, CBH has launched its own software platform and taken steps to significantly optimize its supply chain operations. Clearly, the company has fully taken to heart the need for innovation. No doubt it will soon be partnering with a growing list of startups and setting off on all manner of interesting ventures to discover the next big breakthrough in grain agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SVIC we like to think we had a hand in driving all this activity.  We can\u2019t take all the credit of course, our function having been simply to help the CBH team understand not only the solutions technology offers today but also the answers it might be able to provide tomorrow, given the right investments. All we could do was offer a stimulus, with any further steps being CBH\u2019s to make, and make alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yet fulfilling our role meant more than just introducing the grain exporter to startups. We also took it to meetings at big companies which have nothing to do with agriculture like Google and Mercedes Benz; we connected it to innovation hubs like Rocketspace and The Vault; we helped it make links with venture capital firms like Mohr Davidow and Naiss. This was all in service of putting CBH on the path toward greater corporate innovation by showing the Australian company how the process works from all angles and how it is being practiced today by some of the world\u2019s leading organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new knowledge and networks CBH acquired during its time in Silicon Valley has put the company in a position from which it can genuinely look at new technologies as fertile grounds of opportunity and not as threats. That represents a radical change of perspective and is a mindset which most large enterprises find it difficult to adopt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Silicon Valley, however, the status quo has always been seen as something in need of disruption, with technology the principal means of making that happen. That\u2019s why the tech hub is an endlessly fascinating place to be; we know it and now that CBH knows it too, we expect they\u2019ll be back very soon.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Fertile Plains of Innovation: Discovering AgriTech in Silicon Valley","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-27 20:45:15","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-28 04:45:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/siliconvalley.center\/blog\/fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":816,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-27 00:14:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-27 08:14:00","post_content":"\n

Let's face it. Modern technological advancements have already taken the practical science of artificial intelligence to unseen levels. AI is no longer limited to a robot beating a world chess master. In fact, artificial intelligence is likely to influence modern business trends at a faster pace. New age AI bots can just sift through the humongous amount of big data in a matter of seconds. These developments could potentially affect the future business models by improving the research reports and publishing capabilities. The question is, to what extent does AI tech impact upon the need for human researchers? Thomson Reuters was looking to solve this \u2018Man versus Machine\u2019<\/i> riddle. The massive mass media and information services firm was looking to explore disruptive models based on the AI concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where an innovative firm like Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a> comes into the picture. We understood what Thomson Reuters was looking for and came up with an \u2018Innovation Immersive Program\u2019<\/i> to offer direction and initiate the process of digital transformation. Let's get into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Immersive Program - The roadmap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Newton said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!)

At SVIC, we took our usual course of action: we studied the list of CBH\u2019s problems or \u201cpain points\u201d as we like to call them, and custom-designed a tour of Silicon Valley. The goal was to connect the grain exporter with some of AgriTech\u2019s hottest startups and introduce it to the core principles of corporate innovative as they are being practiced today by leading companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBH\u2019s program was five days long. Here are the highlights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Startup Engagement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of our specialties at SVIC is bridging the gap between corporates and early stage enterprises. Although seemingly inherently opposed to one another, the two classes of business are in many ways a natural fit. Where corporations have the money and the client base startups crave, startups have the innovative ideas and tech-savvy personnel so often needed at big companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That characterization is something of a stereotype but it proved to hold true for CBH. That was why we introduced the company to Planet, a startup building and operating satellites to collect data and imagery on the Earth\u2019s landmass. The application of such technology to agriculture and the advantages it can bring to farmers were immediately clear to CBH, which was eager to adopt Planet\u2019s approach for a platform of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further learnings came at a meeting with Granular where CBH found out about how cloud computing and big data analytics can help growers better manage resources in order to increase yields and profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So far, so innovative. But the best, as they say, was yet to come. It wasn\u2019t until the fifth and final day of the tour that CBH met Blue River Technology, a startup which proved to be the most inspiring of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appeal was in the marriage of computer vision and artificial intelligence: Blue River Technology\u2019s smart machines not only independently spray crops with herbicides to eliminate weeds, they also analyze each plant in a field to determine exactly what chemicals are needed where and in what quantities. Using this approach the startup is hoping it can do some good for the world by tackling herbicide-resistant weeds, a growing challenge to agriculture globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/WS3JRydN9sQ\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately for CBH, Blue River Technology\u2019s work is currently focused on crops other than grain. But just the fact of seeing the pioneering work being done by the startup was enough to convince the Australian exporter once and for all that being more involved in the Silicon Valley scene is vital. The team realized that if CBH could be the one to discover the next revolutionary breakthrough in wheat and barley cultivation, the advantages to the business could be almost inconceivably large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug in and Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since its visit with us to Silicon Valley, CBH has launched its own software platform and taken steps to significantly optimize its supply chain operations. Clearly, the company has fully taken to heart the need for innovation. No doubt it will soon be partnering with a growing list of startups and setting off on all manner of interesting ventures to discover the next big breakthrough in grain agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SVIC we like to think we had a hand in driving all this activity.  We can\u2019t take all the credit of course, our function having been simply to help the CBH team understand not only the solutions technology offers today but also the answers it might be able to provide tomorrow, given the right investments. All we could do was offer a stimulus, with any further steps being CBH\u2019s to make, and make alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yet fulfilling our role meant more than just introducing the grain exporter to startups. We also took it to meetings at big companies which have nothing to do with agriculture like Google and Mercedes Benz; we connected it to innovation hubs like Rocketspace and The Vault; we helped it make links with venture capital firms like Mohr Davidow and Naiss. This was all in service of putting CBH on the path toward greater corporate innovation by showing the Australian company how the process works from all angles and how it is being practiced today by some of the world\u2019s leading organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new knowledge and networks CBH acquired during its time in Silicon Valley has put the company in a position from which it can genuinely look at new technologies as fertile grounds of opportunity and not as threats. That represents a radical change of perspective and is a mindset which most large enterprises find it difficult to adopt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Silicon Valley, however, the status quo has always been seen as something in need of disruption, with technology the principal means of making that happen. That\u2019s why the tech hub is an endlessly fascinating place to be; we know it and now that CBH knows it too, we expect they\u2019ll be back very soon.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Fertile Plains of Innovation: Discovering AgriTech in Silicon Valley","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-27 20:45:15","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-28 04:45:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/siliconvalley.center\/blog\/fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":816,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-27 00:14:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-27 08:14:00","post_content":"\n

Let's face it. Modern technological advancements have already taken the practical science of artificial intelligence to unseen levels. AI is no longer limited to a robot beating a world chess master. In fact, artificial intelligence is likely to influence modern business trends at a faster pace. New age AI bots can just sift through the humongous amount of big data in a matter of seconds. These developments could potentially affect the future business models by improving the research reports and publishing capabilities. The question is, to what extent does AI tech impact upon the need for human researchers? Thomson Reuters was looking to solve this \u2018Man versus Machine\u2019<\/i> riddle. The massive mass media and information services firm was looking to explore disruptive models based on the AI concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where an innovative firm like Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a> comes into the picture. We understood what Thomson Reuters was looking for and came up with an \u2018Innovation Immersive Program\u2019<\/i> to offer direction and initiate the process of digital transformation. Let's get into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Immersive Program - The roadmap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Newton said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Innovation Immersion Program, you get an unforgettable opportunity to learn about the latest trends in your industry. Know the powerful insights to design successful models for your own company. We are happy to report that once the program was complete, the senior leaders at Thomson Reuters felt extremely confident about the corporate innovation trends that affect their core business. They were able to change individual operations and create new business units to capture the undiscovered market opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sum it up in one phrase, \u2018They found solutions!\u2019 <\/i>...and now we have a limited time opportunity for you. With the increased demand in the Fintech space, Silicon Valley Center has designed an exclusive Executive Immersion Program<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose is to address the challenges that entrepreneurs face in the field of Digital banking, Artificial intelligence, and Regulation technologies. The participants will also find interesting insights about advancements in the field of digital lending and current innovations in payment value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you've already seen the applicable benefits of the last program, the next move is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you've read so far, you're seriously interested in finding some business solutions. All that's left to do now is take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017. These innovations weren\u2019t necessarily developed in 2017, rather in 2017 they reached a high enough market adoption to indicate that they will be adopted on a mass scale in the next year or two. As a corporate innovator you\u2019ll want to include these trends in your 2018 innovation road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Blockchain will create more transparent trade and ease of transacting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Only a few months ago still only a handful of die hard enthusiasts believed in the future of this alternative currency. Now in Dec 2017 with the Chicago Board of Exchange offering options to be traded on the digital asset, several countries developing their own cryptocurrencies, many of the large banks beginning to implement cryptocurrencies in their operations, and middle class Americans mortgaging their homes to invest, it is safe to say that this technology is here to stay and will continue to have more and more impact. SVIC has a developed a blockchain practice and we would be happy to answer your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) More millennials will work remotely in freelance positions and own fewer assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) The shift from visual to audio interface will make computer interaction more natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant have made a name for themselves as being useful assistants not only for dictating text messages, but also for ordering things online, getting useful information, and navigating you. Over the course of 2018 expect to see more and more functionality shift from typing and screen based computer interaction to voice based computer interaction. Afterall talking is a more natural way for humans to communicate, and we prefer to do things as simply as possible. \u201cAlexa...send grandma flowers for her birthday.\u201d \u201cOK.

What the team from Australia certainly did know was where it was falling short; namely, a lack of collaboration with the startup ecosystem, a supply chain in need of digitization and a dearth of high-tech solutions to offer its clients, the majority of whom are farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let's face it. Modern technological advancements have already taken the practical science of artificial intelligence to unseen levels. AI is no longer limited to a robot beating a world chess master. In fact, artificial intelligence is likely to influence modern business trends at a faster pace. New age AI bots can just sift through the humongous amount of big data in a matter of seconds. These developments could potentially affect the future business models by improving the research reports and publishing capabilities. The question is, to what extent does AI tech impact upon the need for human researchers? Thomson Reuters was looking to solve this \u2018Man versus Machine\u2019<\/i> riddle. The massive mass media and information services firm was looking to explore disruptive models based on the AI concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where an innovative firm like Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a> comes into the picture. We understood what Thomson Reuters was looking for and came up with an \u2018Innovation Immersive Program\u2019<\/i> to offer direction and initiate the process of digital transformation. Let's get into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Immersive Program - The roadmap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Newton said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Innovation Immersion Program, you get an unforgettable opportunity to learn about the latest trends in your industry. Know the powerful insights to design successful models for your own company. We are happy to report that once the program was complete, the senior leaders at Thomson Reuters felt extremely confident about the corporate innovation trends that affect their core business. They were able to change individual operations and create new business units to capture the undiscovered market opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sum it up in one phrase, \u2018They found solutions!\u2019 <\/i>...and now we have a limited time opportunity for you. With the increased demand in the Fintech space, Silicon Valley Center has designed an exclusive Executive Immersion Program<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose is to address the challenges that entrepreneurs face in the field of Digital banking, Artificial intelligence, and Regulation technologies. The participants will also find interesting insights about advancements in the field of digital lending and current innovations in payment value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you've already seen the applicable benefits of the last program, the next move is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you've read so far, you're seriously interested in finding some business solutions. All that's left to do now is take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017. These innovations weren\u2019t necessarily developed in 2017, rather in 2017 they reached a high enough market adoption to indicate that they will be adopted on a mass scale in the next year or two. As a corporate innovator you\u2019ll want to include these trends in your 2018 innovation road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Blockchain will create more transparent trade and ease of transacting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Only a few months ago still only a handful of die hard enthusiasts believed in the future of this alternative currency. Now in Dec 2017 with the Chicago Board of Exchange offering options to be traded on the digital asset, several countries developing their own cryptocurrencies, many of the large banks beginning to implement cryptocurrencies in their operations, and middle class Americans mortgaging their homes to invest, it is safe to say that this technology is here to stay and will continue to have more and more impact. SVIC has a developed a blockchain practice and we would be happy to answer your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) More millennials will work remotely in freelance positions and own fewer assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) The shift from visual to audio interface will make computer interaction more natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant have made a name for themselves as being useful assistants not only for dictating text messages, but also for ordering things online, getting useful information, and navigating you. Over the course of 2018 expect to see more and more functionality shift from typing and screen based computer interaction to voice based computer interaction. Afterall talking is a more natural way for humans to communicate, and we prefer to do things as simply as possible. \u201cAlexa...send grandma flowers for her birthday.\u201d \u201cOK.

With CBH, however, we could not make any such assumptions. Unlike FinTech and its rising superstars (see Stripe and Coinbase<\/a>, among others) the world of AgriTech is somewhat more obscure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/zWnWL-wEJgs\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What the team from Australia certainly did know was where it was falling short; namely, a lack of collaboration with the startup ecosystem, a supply chain in need of digitization and a dearth of high-tech solutions to offer its clients, the majority of whom are farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SVIC, we took our usual course of action: we studied the list of CBH\u2019s problems or \u201cpain points\u201d as we like to call them, and custom-designed a tour of Silicon Valley. The goal was to connect the grain exporter with some of AgriTech\u2019s hottest startups and introduce it to the core principles of corporate innovative as they are being practiced today by leading companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBH\u2019s program was five days long. Here are the highlights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Startup Engagement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of our specialties at SVIC is bridging the gap between corporates and early stage enterprises. Although seemingly inherently opposed to one another, the two classes of business are in many ways a natural fit. Where corporations have the money and the client base startups crave, startups have the innovative ideas and tech-savvy personnel so often needed at big companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That characterization is something of a stereotype but it proved to hold true for CBH. That was why we introduced the company to Planet, a startup building and operating satellites to collect data and imagery on the Earth\u2019s landmass. The application of such technology to agriculture and the advantages it can bring to farmers were immediately clear to CBH, which was eager to adopt Planet\u2019s approach for a platform of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further learnings came at a meeting with Granular where CBH found out about how cloud computing and big data analytics can help growers better manage resources in order to increase yields and profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So far, so innovative. But the best, as they say, was yet to come. It wasn\u2019t until the fifth and final day of the tour that CBH met Blue River Technology, a startup which proved to be the most inspiring of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appeal was in the marriage of computer vision and artificial intelligence: Blue River Technology\u2019s smart machines not only independently spray crops with herbicides to eliminate weeds, they also analyze each plant in a field to determine exactly what chemicals are needed where and in what quantities. Using this approach the startup is hoping it can do some good for the world by tackling herbicide-resistant weeds, a growing challenge to agriculture globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/WS3JRydN9sQ\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately for CBH, Blue River Technology\u2019s work is currently focused on crops other than grain. But just the fact of seeing the pioneering work being done by the startup was enough to convince the Australian exporter once and for all that being more involved in the Silicon Valley scene is vital. The team realized that if CBH could be the one to discover the next revolutionary breakthrough in wheat and barley cultivation, the advantages to the business could be almost inconceivably large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug in and Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since its visit with us to Silicon Valley, CBH has launched its own software platform and taken steps to significantly optimize its supply chain operations. Clearly, the company has fully taken to heart the need for innovation. No doubt it will soon be partnering with a growing list of startups and setting off on all manner of interesting ventures to discover the next big breakthrough in grain agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SVIC we like to think we had a hand in driving all this activity.  We can\u2019t take all the credit of course, our function having been simply to help the CBH team understand not only the solutions technology offers today but also the answers it might be able to provide tomorrow, given the right investments. All we could do was offer a stimulus, with any further steps being CBH\u2019s to make, and make alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yet fulfilling our role meant more than just introducing the grain exporter to startups. We also took it to meetings at big companies which have nothing to do with agriculture like Google and Mercedes Benz; we connected it to innovation hubs like Rocketspace and The Vault; we helped it make links with venture capital firms like Mohr Davidow and Naiss. This was all in service of putting CBH on the path toward greater corporate innovation by showing the Australian company how the process works from all angles and how it is being practiced today by some of the world\u2019s leading organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new knowledge and networks CBH acquired during its time in Silicon Valley has put the company in a position from which it can genuinely look at new technologies as fertile grounds of opportunity and not as threats. That represents a radical change of perspective and is a mindset which most large enterprises find it difficult to adopt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017. These innovations weren\u2019t necessarily developed in 2017, rather in 2017 they reached a high enough market adoption to indicate that they will be adopted on a mass scale in the next year or two. As a corporate innovator you\u2019ll want to include these trends in your 2018 innovation road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Blockchain will create more transparent trade and ease of transacting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Only a few months ago still only a handful of die hard enthusiasts believed in the future of this alternative currency. Now in Dec 2017 with the Chicago Board of Exchange offering options to be traded on the digital asset, several countries developing their own cryptocurrencies, many of the large banks beginning to implement cryptocurrencies in their operations, and middle class Americans mortgaging their homes to invest, it is safe to say that this technology is here to stay and will continue to have more and more impact. SVIC has a developed a blockchain practice and we would be happy to answer your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) More millennials will work remotely in freelance positions and own fewer assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) The shift from visual to audio interface will make computer interaction more natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant have made a name for themselves as being useful assistants not only for dictating text messages, but also for ordering things online, getting useful information, and navigating you. Over the course of 2018 expect to see more and more functionality shift from typing and screen based computer interaction to voice based computer interaction. Afterall talking is a more natural way for humans to communicate, and we prefer to do things as simply as possible. \u201cAlexa...send grandma flowers for her birthday.\u201d \u201cOK.

We were, of course, unfazed by this. That said, the recent explosion of interest in bitcoin and the general rise in awareness globally of the influence of FinTech as an offshoot of the financial services sector meant that when it came to Bank of Queensland\u2019s tour, we were able to take for granted that the company\u2019s executives already had a reasonable understanding of what they were getting themselves into before they set foot in Northern California.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With CBH, however, we could not make any such assumptions. Unlike FinTech and its rising superstars (see Stripe and Coinbase<\/a>, among others) the world of AgriTech is somewhat more obscure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/zWnWL-wEJgs\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What the team from Australia certainly did know was where it was falling short; namely, a lack of collaboration with the startup ecosystem, a supply chain in need of digitization and a dearth of high-tech solutions to offer its clients, the majority of whom are farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SVIC, we took our usual course of action: we studied the list of CBH\u2019s problems or \u201cpain points\u201d as we like to call them, and custom-designed a tour of Silicon Valley. The goal was to connect the grain exporter with some of AgriTech\u2019s hottest startups and introduce it to the core principles of corporate innovative as they are being practiced today by leading companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBH\u2019s program was five days long. Here are the highlights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Startup Engagement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of our specialties at SVIC is bridging the gap between corporates and early stage enterprises. Although seemingly inherently opposed to one another, the two classes of business are in many ways a natural fit. Where corporations have the money and the client base startups crave, startups have the innovative ideas and tech-savvy personnel so often needed at big companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That characterization is something of a stereotype but it proved to hold true for CBH. That was why we introduced the company to Planet, a startup building and operating satellites to collect data and imagery on the Earth\u2019s landmass. The application of such technology to agriculture and the advantages it can bring to farmers were immediately clear to CBH, which was eager to adopt Planet\u2019s approach for a platform of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further learnings came at a meeting with Granular where CBH found out about how cloud computing and big data analytics can help growers better manage resources in order to increase yields and profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So far, so innovative. But the best, as they say, was yet to come. It wasn\u2019t until the fifth and final day of the tour that CBH met Blue River Technology, a startup which proved to be the most inspiring of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appeal was in the marriage of computer vision and artificial intelligence: Blue River Technology\u2019s smart machines not only independently spray crops with herbicides to eliminate weeds, they also analyze each plant in a field to determine exactly what chemicals are needed where and in what quantities. Using this approach the startup is hoping it can do some good for the world by tackling herbicide-resistant weeds, a growing challenge to agriculture globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/WS3JRydN9sQ\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately for CBH, Blue River Technology\u2019s work is currently focused on crops other than grain. But just the fact of seeing the pioneering work being done by the startup was enough to convince the Australian exporter once and for all that being more involved in the Silicon Valley scene is vital. The team realized that if CBH could be the one to discover the next revolutionary breakthrough in wheat and barley cultivation, the advantages to the business could be almost inconceivably large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug in and Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since its visit with us to Silicon Valley, CBH has launched its own software platform and taken steps to significantly optimize its supply chain operations. Clearly, the company has fully taken to heart the need for innovation. No doubt it will soon be partnering with a growing list of startups and setting off on all manner of interesting ventures to discover the next big breakthrough in grain agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SVIC we like to think we had a hand in driving all this activity.  We can\u2019t take all the credit of course, our function having been simply to help the CBH team understand not only the solutions technology offers today but also the answers it might be able to provide tomorrow, given the right investments. All we could do was offer a stimulus, with any further steps being CBH\u2019s to make, and make alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yet fulfilling our role meant more than just introducing the grain exporter to startups. We also took it to meetings at big companies which have nothing to do with agriculture like Google and Mercedes Benz; we connected it to innovation hubs like Rocketspace and The Vault; we helped it make links with venture capital firms like Mohr Davidow and Naiss. This was all in service of putting CBH on the path toward greater corporate innovation by showing the Australian company how the process works from all angles and how it is being practiced today by some of the world\u2019s leading organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new knowledge and networks CBH acquired during its time in Silicon Valley has put the company in a position from which it can genuinely look at new technologies as fertile grounds of opportunity and not as threats. That represents a radical change of perspective and is a mindset which most large enterprises find it difficult to adopt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Silicon Valley, however, the status quo has always been seen as something in need of disruption, with technology the principal means of making that happen. That\u2019s why the tech hub is an endlessly fascinating place to be; we know it and now that CBH knows it too, we expect they\u2019ll be back very soon.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Fertile Plains of Innovation: Discovering AgriTech in Silicon Valley","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-27 20:45:15","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-28 04:45:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/siliconvalley.center\/blog\/fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":816,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-27 00:14:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-27 08:14:00","post_content":"\n

Let's face it. Modern technological advancements have already taken the practical science of artificial intelligence to unseen levels. AI is no longer limited to a robot beating a world chess master. In fact, artificial intelligence is likely to influence modern business trends at a faster pace. New age AI bots can just sift through the humongous amount of big data in a matter of seconds. These developments could potentially affect the future business models by improving the research reports and publishing capabilities. The question is, to what extent does AI tech impact upon the need for human researchers? Thomson Reuters was looking to solve this \u2018Man versus Machine\u2019<\/i> riddle. The massive mass media and information services firm was looking to explore disruptive models based on the AI concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where an innovative firm like Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a> comes into the picture. We understood what Thomson Reuters was looking for and came up with an \u2018Innovation Immersive Program\u2019<\/i> to offer direction and initiate the process of digital transformation. Let's get into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Immersive Program - The roadmap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Newton said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet for CBH<\/a>, Australia\u2019s biggest exporter of grain, a trip to Silicon Valley turned out to be hugely worthwhile. The organization had approached us at the Silicon Valley Innovation Center on the back of a positive recommendation from compatriots at Bank of Queensland (the financial institution took one of our tours not long ago). That was something which generated a certain amount of expectation on the client side and, therefore, a greater-than-usual amount of pressure on us to deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were, of course, unfazed by this. That said, the recent explosion of interest in bitcoin and the general rise in awareness globally of the influence of FinTech as an offshoot of the financial services sector meant that when it came to Bank of Queensland\u2019s tour, we were able to take for granted that the company\u2019s executives already had a reasonable understanding of what they were getting themselves into before they set foot in Northern California.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With CBH, however, we could not make any such assumptions. Unlike FinTech and its rising superstars (see Stripe and Coinbase<\/a>, among others) the world of AgriTech is somewhat more obscure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/zWnWL-wEJgs\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What the team from Australia certainly did know was where it was falling short; namely, a lack of collaboration with the startup ecosystem, a supply chain in need of digitization and a dearth of high-tech solutions to offer its clients, the majority of whom are farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SVIC, we took our usual course of action: we studied the list of CBH\u2019s problems or \u201cpain points\u201d as we like to call them, and custom-designed a tour of Silicon Valley. The goal was to connect the grain exporter with some of AgriTech\u2019s hottest startups and introduce it to the core principles of corporate innovative as they are being practiced today by leading companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBH\u2019s program was five days long. Here are the highlights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Startup Engagement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of our specialties at SVIC is bridging the gap between corporates and early stage enterprises. Although seemingly inherently opposed to one another, the two classes of business are in many ways a natural fit. Where corporations have the money and the client base startups crave, startups have the innovative ideas and tech-savvy personnel so often needed at big companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That characterization is something of a stereotype but it proved to hold true for CBH. That was why we introduced the company to Planet, a startup building and operating satellites to collect data and imagery on the Earth\u2019s landmass. The application of such technology to agriculture and the advantages it can bring to farmers were immediately clear to CBH, which was eager to adopt Planet\u2019s approach for a platform of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further learnings came at a meeting with Granular where CBH found out about how cloud computing and big data analytics can help growers better manage resources in order to increase yields and profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So far, so innovative. But the best, as they say, was yet to come. It wasn\u2019t until the fifth and final day of the tour that CBH met Blue River Technology, a startup which proved to be the most inspiring of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appeal was in the marriage of computer vision and artificial intelligence: Blue River Technology\u2019s smart machines not only independently spray crops with herbicides to eliminate weeds, they also analyze each plant in a field to determine exactly what chemicals are needed where and in what quantities. Using this approach the startup is hoping it can do some good for the world by tackling herbicide-resistant weeds, a growing challenge to agriculture globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/WS3JRydN9sQ\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately for CBH, Blue River Technology\u2019s work is currently focused on crops other than grain. But just the fact of seeing the pioneering work being done by the startup was enough to convince the Australian exporter once and for all that being more involved in the Silicon Valley scene is vital. The team realized that if CBH could be the one to discover the next revolutionary breakthrough in wheat and barley cultivation, the advantages to the business could be almost inconceivably large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug in and Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since its visit with us to Silicon Valley, CBH has launched its own software platform and taken steps to significantly optimize its supply chain operations. Clearly, the company has fully taken to heart the need for innovation. No doubt it will soon be partnering with a growing list of startups and setting off on all manner of interesting ventures to discover the next big breakthrough in grain agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SVIC we like to think we had a hand in driving all this activity.  We can\u2019t take all the credit of course, our function having been simply to help the CBH team understand not only the solutions technology offers today but also the answers it might be able to provide tomorrow, given the right investments. All we could do was offer a stimulus, with any further steps being CBH\u2019s to make, and make alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yet fulfilling our role meant more than just introducing the grain exporter to startups. We also took it to meetings at big companies which have nothing to do with agriculture like Google and Mercedes Benz; we connected it to innovation hubs like Rocketspace and The Vault; we helped it make links with venture capital firms like Mohr Davidow and Naiss. This was all in service of putting CBH on the path toward greater corporate innovation by showing the Australian company how the process works from all angles and how it is being practiced today by some of the world\u2019s leading organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new knowledge and networks CBH acquired during its time in Silicon Valley has put the company in a position from which it can genuinely look at new technologies as fertile grounds of opportunity and not as threats. That represents a radical change of perspective and is a mindset which most large enterprises find it difficult to adopt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Silicon Valley, however, the status quo has always been seen as something in need of disruption, with technology the principal means of making that happen. That\u2019s why the tech hub is an endlessly fascinating place to be; we know it and now that CBH knows it too, we expect they\u2019ll be back very soon.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Fertile Plains of Innovation: Discovering AgriTech in Silicon Valley","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-27 20:45:15","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-28 04:45:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/siliconvalley.center\/blog\/fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":816,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-27 00:14:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-27 08:14:00","post_content":"\n

Let's face it. Modern technological advancements have already taken the practical science of artificial intelligence to unseen levels. AI is no longer limited to a robot beating a world chess master. In fact, artificial intelligence is likely to influence modern business trends at a faster pace. New age AI bots can just sift through the humongous amount of big data in a matter of seconds. These developments could potentially affect the future business models by improving the research reports and publishing capabilities. The question is, to what extent does AI tech impact upon the need for human researchers? Thomson Reuters was looking to solve this \u2018Man versus Machine\u2019<\/i> riddle. The massive mass media and information services firm was looking to explore disruptive models based on the AI concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where an innovative firm like Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a> comes into the picture. We understood what Thomson Reuters was looking for and came up with an \u2018Innovation Immersive Program\u2019<\/i> to offer direction and initiate the process of digital transformation. Let's get into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Immersive Program - The roadmap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Newton said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Innovation Immersion Program, you get an unforgettable opportunity to learn about the latest trends in your industry. Know the powerful insights to design successful models for your own company. We are happy to report that once the program was complete, the senior leaders at Thomson Reuters felt extremely confident about the corporate innovation trends that affect their core business. They were able to change individual operations and create new business units to capture the undiscovered market opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sum it up in one phrase, \u2018They found solutions!\u2019 <\/i>...and now we have a limited time opportunity for you. With the increased demand in the Fintech space, Silicon Valley Center has designed an exclusive Executive Immersion Program<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose is to address the challenges that entrepreneurs face in the field of Digital banking, Artificial intelligence, and Regulation technologies. The participants will also find interesting insights about advancements in the field of digital lending and current innovations in payment value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you've already seen the applicable benefits of the last program, the next move is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you've read so far, you're seriously interested in finding some business solutions. All that's left to do now is take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley is undoubtedly a place where any company can find innovative, technology-driven solutions to its thorniest problems. That is just as true for enterprises from the agricultural sector as from anywhere else, although the tech mecca has traditionally not been associated with breakthroughs in farming in the same way it has for many other industries; transport (Uber, Tesla), travel (Airbnb) and e-commerce (Amazon, eBay) being perhaps among the most notable examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet for CBH<\/a>, Australia\u2019s biggest exporter of grain, a trip to Silicon Valley turned out to be hugely worthwhile. The organization had approached us at the Silicon Valley Innovation Center on the back of a positive recommendation from compatriots at Bank of Queensland (the financial institution took one of our tours not long ago). That was something which generated a certain amount of expectation on the client side and, therefore, a greater-than-usual amount of pressure on us to deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were, of course, unfazed by this. That said, the recent explosion of interest in bitcoin and the general rise in awareness globally of the influence of FinTech as an offshoot of the financial services sector meant that when it came to Bank of Queensland\u2019s tour, we were able to take for granted that the company\u2019s executives already had a reasonable understanding of what they were getting themselves into before they set foot in Northern California.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With CBH, however, we could not make any such assumptions. Unlike FinTech and its rising superstars (see Stripe and Coinbase<\/a>, among others) the world of AgriTech is somewhat more obscure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/zWnWL-wEJgs\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What the team from Australia certainly did know was where it was falling short; namely, a lack of collaboration with the startup ecosystem, a supply chain in need of digitization and a dearth of high-tech solutions to offer its clients, the majority of whom are farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SVIC, we took our usual course of action: we studied the list of CBH\u2019s problems or \u201cpain points\u201d as we like to call them, and custom-designed a tour of Silicon Valley. The goal was to connect the grain exporter with some of AgriTech\u2019s hottest startups and introduce it to the core principles of corporate innovative as they are being practiced today by leading companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBH\u2019s program was five days long. Here are the highlights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Startup Engagement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of our specialties at SVIC is bridging the gap between corporates and early stage enterprises. Although seemingly inherently opposed to one another, the two classes of business are in many ways a natural fit. Where corporations have the money and the client base startups crave, startups have the innovative ideas and tech-savvy personnel so often needed at big companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That characterization is something of a stereotype but it proved to hold true for CBH. That was why we introduced the company to Planet, a startup building and operating satellites to collect data and imagery on the Earth\u2019s landmass. The application of such technology to agriculture and the advantages it can bring to farmers were immediately clear to CBH, which was eager to adopt Planet\u2019s approach for a platform of its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further learnings came at a meeting with Granular where CBH found out about how cloud computing and big data analytics can help growers better manage resources in order to increase yields and profits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

So far, so innovative. But the best, as they say, was yet to come. It wasn\u2019t until the fifth and final day of the tour that CBH met Blue River Technology, a startup which proved to be the most inspiring of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appeal was in the marriage of computer vision and artificial intelligence: Blue River Technology\u2019s smart machines not only independently spray crops with herbicides to eliminate weeds, they also analyze each plant in a field to determine exactly what chemicals are needed where and in what quantities. Using this approach the startup is hoping it can do some good for the world by tackling herbicide-resistant weeds, a growing challenge to agriculture globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/WS3JRydN9sQ\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately for CBH, Blue River Technology\u2019s work is currently focused on crops other than grain. But just the fact of seeing the pioneering work being done by the startup was enough to convince the Australian exporter once and for all that being more involved in the Silicon Valley scene is vital. The team realized that if CBH could be the one to discover the next revolutionary breakthrough in wheat and barley cultivation, the advantages to the business could be almost inconceivably large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plug in and Play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since its visit with us to Silicon Valley, CBH has launched its own software platform and taken steps to significantly optimize its supply chain operations. Clearly, the company has fully taken to heart the need for innovation. No doubt it will soon be partnering with a growing list of startups and setting off on all manner of interesting ventures to discover the next big breakthrough in grain agriculture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At SVIC we like to think we had a hand in driving all this activity.  We can\u2019t take all the credit of course, our function having been simply to help the CBH team understand not only the solutions technology offers today but also the answers it might be able to provide tomorrow, given the right investments. All we could do was offer a stimulus, with any further steps being CBH\u2019s to make, and make alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Yet fulfilling our role meant more than just introducing the grain exporter to startups. We also took it to meetings at big companies which have nothing to do with agriculture like Google and Mercedes Benz; we connected it to innovation hubs like Rocketspace and The Vault; we helped it make links with venture capital firms like Mohr Davidow and Naiss. This was all in service of putting CBH on the path toward greater corporate innovation by showing the Australian company how the process works from all angles and how it is being practiced today by some of the world\u2019s leading organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new knowledge and networks CBH acquired during its time in Silicon Valley has put the company in a position from which it can genuinely look at new technologies as fertile grounds of opportunity and not as threats. That represents a radical change of perspective and is a mindset which most large enterprises find it difficult to adopt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Silicon Valley, however, the status quo has always been seen as something in need of disruption, with technology the principal means of making that happen. That\u2019s why the tech hub is an endlessly fascinating place to be; we know it and now that CBH knows it too, we expect they\u2019ll be back very soon.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Fertile Plains of Innovation: Discovering AgriTech in Silicon Valley","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2019-12-27 20:45:15","post_modified_gmt":"2019-12-28 04:45:15","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/siliconvalley.center\/blog\/fertile-plains-of-innovation-discovering-agritech-in-silicon-valley\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":816,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-27 00:14:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-27 08:14:00","post_content":"\n

Let's face it. Modern technological advancements have already taken the practical science of artificial intelligence to unseen levels. AI is no longer limited to a robot beating a world chess master. In fact, artificial intelligence is likely to influence modern business trends at a faster pace. New age AI bots can just sift through the humongous amount of big data in a matter of seconds. These developments could potentially affect the future business models by improving the research reports and publishing capabilities. The question is, to what extent does AI tech impact upon the need for human researchers? Thomson Reuters was looking to solve this \u2018Man versus Machine\u2019<\/i> riddle. The massive mass media and information services firm was looking to explore disruptive models based on the AI concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where an innovative firm like Silicon Valley Innovation Center<\/a> comes into the picture. We understood what Thomson Reuters was looking for and came up with an \u2018Innovation Immersive Program\u2019<\/i> to offer direction and initiate the process of digital transformation. Let's get into the details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovation Immersive Program - The roadmap<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Isaac Newton said, 'If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.'<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that quote in mind, and based on the established by Thomson Reuters, we created a customized program to offer solutions for complex problems. We designed a practical and enriching program to ensure much better understanding of the key trends in the field of outsourced research, artificial intelligence, corporate innovation, and new-age tech management practices. At Silicon Valley Innovation Center we help you figure out your exact challenges and how to find a way to solve them. It's like taking a bath in the vast talent pool of Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immersive program included a visit to various tech firms like Google<\/strong><\/em>, Amazon<\/strong><\/em>, DocuSign<\/strong><\/em>, ROSS Intelligence<\/strong><\/em>, Berkeley Haas<\/strong><\/em>, Western Union Digital<\/strong><\/em>, BIGcontrols<\/strong><\/em>, and more. As you can observe, the program took Thomson Reuters to the heart of the action - offering the amazing opportunity to visit the most innovative companies to gain few radical ideas for their own niche. There is no hiding the fact that each one of these brand names has successfully disrupted an entire industry. At the end of the day, this was precisely the innovation that Thomson Reuters was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, before we go on, let's take a closer look at the 5 key takeaways for Thomson Reuters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#1 - Important lesson from ROSS Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Offering cutting-edge artificial intelligence legal solutions to the world, ROSS intelligence is world's first digital attorney which helps to cut down the time and energy spent on legal research. In fact, a benchmark test by Blue Hill Research showed that Ross Intelligence found 30% more relevant information in less time than a human researcher. This means the artificial intelligence can certainly help legal professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a classic example wherein saving time and energy will help the law firms to do their research faster (..and more efficiently!) One of the major takeaways for Thomson Reuters was learning the fact that modern managers should get trained in data analysis and correct usage of artificial intelligence (in fact, this change should happen sooner rather than later!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#2 - Key takeaway from Western Union Digital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Western Union is a well-known organization in the field of international remittances. The company has several divisions, offering easy solutions for money transfer, money orders, and commercial payment services. However, with the fast-changing world (and with the entry of digital payments), Western Union anticipated the wave of competition and decided to enter into the digital space. But there were many problems that needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To begin with, the digital payments were far less profitable as people would transfer tiny sums of money making the process really cumbersome for a huge organization. So, they invented a new entity -  Western Union Digital. This was a completely independent operation within the organization that allowed better flexibility (under much less pressure). Setting up a separate and independent digital entity allowed the organization to experiment with innovation. Western Union Digital also partnered with brands like the Facebook messenger to offer real-time payment solutions to the customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was an innovative way of introducing a digital unit allowing a lot of freedom, flexibility and better bandwidth to the parent organization. In a way, it became an important takeaway for Thomson Reuters executives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#3 - According to DocuSign, artificial intelligence is here to stay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With users across 188 countries, DocuSign has proven itself to be a secure way to sign and approve anything from anywhere. With a vast network of established partnerships, DocuSign has grown quickly by strategically fulfilling its growth potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to DocuSign, the use of big data analytics and artificial intelligence is a must for serious organizations especially in the Fintech space (naturally, it's not possible for computer algorithms to process the huge amount of information on paper documents!) The approach allows flexibility to get the contracts going in a matter of seconds - from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fact is, usage of artificial intelligence is absolutely crucial towards achieving a high rate of speed in modern businesses - a concept that is applicable to every major organization looking to adopt AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

#4 - The underrated power of partnerships<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are times when you're under immense pressure to deliver earth-shattering results in a limited amount of time. With minimal resources and restricted capital allocation<\/i>, the job is fairly difficult. The best solution under these tough circumstances is to partner with a power-packed startup to help launch your ideas in a big way. For example, just knowing the principles of artificial intelligence, doesn't give you the skill set to apply it successfully to your needs (keeping ROI in mind!) You need advice from an expert!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is even more feasible for a brand like Thomson Reuters, particularly when they don't have in-house AI proficiency. Realizing the power of startup partnerships is an important growth hack that is widely used in Silicon Valley. As the famous saying goes, \"You can\u2019t go alone. You need to partner.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5 - Using artificial intelligence to assemble powerful reports<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you're like many senior executives, the legacy systems in your organization might cause your teams to waste too many resources on producing accurate reports. In fact, the same time can be used for analyzing the readymade reports to take some actionable steps (for real-time profits!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where artificial intelligence comes into the picture. While interacting with Silicon Valley brands, Thomson Reuters observed that AI can be effectively used to find information that your customers might need. Even if the data is in absolute raw form, it's not very cumbersome to outsource the production of a report to freelance specialists (easily available on many quality sites like Upwork or UpCounsel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This effectively means AI can become your 'In-house Reporting Assistant'<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider this - almost 75% of the report creation process can be easily automated with help of powerful AI solutions. This is, in fact, the best way to utilize the potential of modern AI technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley offers an enriching entrepreneurial ecosystem packed with companies like Uber<\/strong><\/em>, Apple<\/strong><\/em>, Microsoft<\/strong><\/em>, Google<\/strong><\/em>, Airbnb<\/strong><\/em>, Tesla<\/strong><\/em>, and Cisco<\/strong><\/em>, which could potentially help you develop high-growth ideas to address the growing concerns that you're facing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Innovation Immersion Program, you get an unforgettable opportunity to learn about the latest trends in your industry. Know the powerful insights to design successful models for your own company. We are happy to report that once the program was complete, the senior leaders at Thomson Reuters felt extremely confident about the corporate innovation trends that affect their core business. They were able to change individual operations and create new business units to capture the undiscovered market opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To sum it up in one phrase, \u2018They found solutions!\u2019 <\/i>...and now we have a limited time opportunity for you. With the increased demand in the Fintech space, Silicon Valley Center has designed an exclusive Executive Immersion Program<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The purpose is to address the challenges that entrepreneurs face in the field of Digital banking, Artificial intelligence, and Regulation technologies. The participants will also find interesting insights about advancements in the field of digital lending and current innovations in payment value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you've already seen the applicable benefits of the last program, the next move is up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you've read so far, you're seriously interested in finding some business solutions. All that's left to do now is take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the year come to a close we\u2019d like to share our thoughts about the three emerging innovations that reached their tipping point in 2017. These innovations weren\u2019t necessarily developed in 2017, rather in 2017 they reached a high enough market adoption to indicate that they will be adopted on a mass scale in the next year or two. As a corporate innovator you\u2019ll want to include these trends in your 2018 innovation road map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1) Blockchain will create more transparent trade and ease of transacting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Only a few months ago still only a handful of die hard enthusiasts believed in the future of this alternative currency. Now in Dec 2017 with the Chicago Board of Exchange offering options to be traded on the digital asset, several countries developing their own cryptocurrencies, many of the large banks beginning to implement cryptocurrencies in their operations, and middle class Americans mortgaging their homes to invest, it is safe to say that this technology is here to stay and will continue to have more and more impact. SVIC has a developed a blockchain practice and we would be happy to answer your questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2) More millennials will work remotely in freelance positions and own fewer assets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The growth of the sharing economy has the chance to significantly impact the way work is done and society is structured. More and more millenials are opting to work as freelancers. Currently and do so remotely, often from lower cost countries. Millenials are realizing that having fewer possessions and more flexibility may be the key to a happier lifestyle, especially in a time when the cost of living is on the rise and work stability is low. Expect to see more startups that take the traditional buy to own B2C model and flip it to an on demand model. The question for you is, is the office environment and mission you offer employees more attractive than working as a freelancer from Bali?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3) The shift from visual to audio interface will make computer interaction more natural<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant have made a name for themselves as being useful assistants not only for dictating text messages, but also for ordering things online, getting useful information, and navigating you. Over the course of 2018 expect to see more and more functionality shift from typing and screen based computer interaction to voice based computer interaction. Afterall talking is a more natural way for humans to communicate, and we prefer to do things as simply as possible. \u201cAlexa...send grandma flowers for her birthday.\u201d \u201cOK.
