#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

3 Business Trends for 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These three emerging innovations reached their tipping point in 2017. Although they weren\u2019t necessarily developed 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. These three innovations are ones you need to plan for in 2018. Read the rest here<\/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!) 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

#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

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

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

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.

#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

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.

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

#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

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 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

#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

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

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

#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.

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

#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

#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

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

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

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.

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 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!)

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

#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.

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

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.

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.

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

#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

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

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

SK Holdings\u2019 Silicon Valley journey concluded with a spectacular Google campus tour and Tesla Model X test drive. SK Holdings employees got their adrenaline boost when they learned how Silicon Valley companies maintain the state of innovation and which technologies are going to disrupt industries where SKH has businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final goal of every tour like this is to make employees leave the comfort zone of their office and get them to think more openly about technological innovation, say Lorentzen. Our tours get visitors excited about the future and inspired to take action. \u201cIt\u2019s the same kind of excitement that you get from a roller coaster so this is a roller coaster for your brain,\u201d say Lorentzen.<\/p>\n","post_title":"South Korea Holdings Visits Silicon Valley: How to Maintain the State of Innovation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation","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\/south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":834,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-06 11:48:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-06 19:48:00","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

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

#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

\u201cWhen you are building out a new market you don\u2019t necessarily have to use payment to get somebody to engage with you, you just have to paint a vision that is very attractive,\u201d said Lorentzen, who was present at the meeting with Waze.<\/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

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

Waze: The Value of Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Waze is a GPS driving app that uses user-generated data. Back in 2013, this Israeli startup was acquired by Google for a whopping $1.3 bln. At Waze, our tourists learned how businesses can leverage the value of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you are building out a new market you don\u2019t necessarily have to use payment to get somebody to engage with you, you just have to paint a vision that is very attractive,\u201d said Lorentzen, who was present at the meeting with Waze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze is an active community of people, contributing to the \u2018common good\u2019 on the road, improving everyone\u2019s driving. People use Waze to record road hazards, police traps, and improve maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings was interested in how apps like Waze can help advance the concept of a smart, connected city. Google acquired this app to add social context to its mapping business.<\/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

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

If anybody in the company has an idea for anything new, they have to write a 6-page business plan, no more no less, and present it at the next team meeting. If they decided to move forward with the plan then in order to get resources from other departments, they write a press-release, assuming the project is a done deal. They need to visualize how the project is helpful to customers, how it would be received by the global community and what questions their audience would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visitors from South Korea noted this as a key difference in American business culture as compared to how they are used to working at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze: The Value of Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Waze is a GPS driving app that uses user-generated data. Back in 2013, this Israeli startup was acquired by Google for a whopping $1.3 bln. At Waze, our tourists learned how businesses can leverage the value of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you are building out a new market you don\u2019t necessarily have to use payment to get somebody to engage with you, you just have to paint a vision that is very attractive,\u201d said Lorentzen, who was present at the meeting with Waze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze is an active community of people, contributing to the \u2018common good\u2019 on the road, improving everyone\u2019s driving. People use Waze to record road hazards, police traps, and improve maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings was interested in how apps like Waze can help advance the concept of a smart, connected city. Google acquired this app to add social context to its mapping business.<\/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

SK Holding employees were amazed with Amazon\u2019s approach to allocating internal resources for new innovative projects. Amazon has a policy called a \u2018Six-page Business Plan\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anybody in the company has an idea for anything new, they have to write a 6-page business plan, no more no less, and present it at the next team meeting. If they decided to move forward with the plan then in order to get resources from other departments, they write a press-release, assuming the project is a done deal. They need to visualize how the project is helpful to customers, how it would be received by the global community and what questions their audience would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon employees use data to justify their decisions. Junior members of staff are able to move their ideas forward and be considered at for senior level positions.

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

SK Holding employees were amazed with Amazon\u2019s approach to allocating internal resources for new innovative projects. Amazon has a policy called a \u2018Six-page Business Plan\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anybody in the company has an idea for anything new, they have to write a 6-page business plan, no more no less, and present it at the next team meeting. If they decided to move forward with the plan then in order to get resources from other departments, they write a press-release, assuming the project is a done deal. They need to visualize how the project is helpful to customers, how it would be received by the global community and what questions their audience would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon employees use data to justify their decisions. Junior members of staff are able to move their ideas forward and be considered at for senior level positions.

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

Amazon: Internal innovation and a six-page business plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SK Holding employees were amazed with Amazon\u2019s approach to allocating internal resources for new innovative projects. Amazon has a policy called a \u2018Six-page Business Plan\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anybody in the company has an idea for anything new, they have to write a 6-page business plan, no more no less, and present it at the next team meeting. If they decided to move forward with the plan then in order to get resources from other departments, they write a press-release, assuming the project is a done deal. They need to visualize how the project is helpful to customers, how it would be received by the global community and what questions their audience would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon employees use data to justify their decisions. Junior members of staff are able to move their ideas forward and be considered at for senior level positions. The visitors from South Korea noted this as a key difference in American business culture as compared to how they are used to working at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze: The Value of Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Waze is a GPS driving app that uses user-generated data. Back in 2013, this Israeli startup was acquired by Google for a whopping $1.3 bln. At Waze, our tourists learned how businesses can leverage the value of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you are building out a new market you don\u2019t necessarily have to use payment to get somebody to engage with you, you just have to paint a vision that is very attractive,\u201d said Lorentzen, who was present at the meeting with Waze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze is an active community of people, contributing to the \u2018common good\u2019 on the road, improving everyone\u2019s driving. People use Waze to record road hazards, police traps, and improve maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings was interested in how apps like Waze can help advance the concept of a smart, connected city. Google acquired this app to add social context to its mapping business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley Tours: Adrenaline boost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The final goal of every tour like this is to make employees leave the comfort zone of their office and get them to think more openly about technological innovation, say Lorentzen. Our tours get visitors excited about the future and inspired to take action. \u201cIt\u2019s the same kind of excitement that you get from a roller coaster so this is a roller coaster for your brain,\u201d say Lorentzen.<\/p>\n","post_title":"South Korea Holdings Visits Silicon Valley: How to Maintain the State of Innovation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation","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\/south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":834,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-06 11:48:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-06 19:48:00","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

Amazon: Internal innovation and a six-page business plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SK Holding employees were amazed with Amazon\u2019s approach to allocating internal resources for new innovative projects. Amazon has a policy called a \u2018Six-page Business Plan\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anybody in the company has an idea for anything new, they have to write a 6-page business plan, no more no less, and present it at the next team meeting. If they decided to move forward with the plan then in order to get resources from other departments, they write a press-release, assuming the project is a done deal. They need to visualize how the project is helpful to customers, how it would be received by the global community and what questions their audience would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon employees use data to justify their decisions. Junior members of staff are able to move their ideas forward and be considered at for senior level positions. The visitors from South Korea noted this as a key difference in American business culture as compared to how they are used to working at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze is an active community of people, contributing to the \u2018common good\u2019 on the road, improving everyone\u2019s driving. People use Waze to record road hazards, police traps, and improve maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings was interested in how apps like Waze can help advance the concept of a smart, connected city. Google acquired this app to add social context to its mapping business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final goal of every tour like this is to make employees leave the comfort zone of their office and get them to think more openly about technological innovation, say Lorentzen. Our tours get visitors excited about the future and inspired to take action. \u201cIt\u2019s the same kind of excitement that you get from a roller coaster so this is a roller coaster for your brain,\u201d say Lorentzen.<\/p>\n","post_title":"South Korea Holdings Visits Silicon Valley: How to Maintain the State of Innovation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation","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\/south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":834,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-06 11:48:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-06 19:48:00","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

Amazon: Internal innovation and a six-page business plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SK Holding employees were amazed with Amazon\u2019s approach to allocating internal resources for new innovative projects. Amazon has a policy called a \u2018Six-page Business Plan\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anybody in the company has an idea for anything new, they have to write a 6-page business plan, no more no less, and present it at the next team meeting. If they decided to move forward with the plan then in order to get resources from other departments, they write a press-release, assuming the project is a done deal. They need to visualize how the project is helpful to customers, how it would be received by the global community and what questions their audience would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon employees use data to justify their decisions. Junior members of staff are able to move their ideas forward and be considered at for senior level positions. The visitors from South Korea noted this as a key difference in American business culture as compared to how they are used to working at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you are building out a new market you don\u2019t necessarily have to use payment to get somebody to engage with you, you just have to paint a vision that is very attractive,\u201d said Lorentzen, who was present at the meeting with Waze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze is an active community of people, contributing to the \u2018common good\u2019 on the road, improving everyone\u2019s driving. People use Waze to record road hazards, police traps, and improve maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings was interested in how apps like Waze can help advance the concept of a smart, connected city. Google acquired this app to add social context to its mapping business.<\/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

If anybody in the company has an idea for anything new, they have to write a 6-page business plan, no more no less, and present it at the next team meeting. If they decided to move forward with the plan then in order to get resources from other departments, they write a press-release, assuming the project is a done deal. They need to visualize how the project is helpful to customers, how it would be received by the global community and what questions their audience would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon employees use data to justify their decisions. Junior members of staff are able to move their ideas forward and be considered at for senior level positions. The visitors from South Korea noted this as a key difference in American business culture as compared to how they are used to working at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you are building out a new market you don\u2019t necessarily have to use payment to get somebody to engage with you, you just have to paint a vision that is very attractive,\u201d said Lorentzen, who was present at the meeting with Waze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze is an active community of people, contributing to the \u2018common good\u2019 on the road, improving everyone\u2019s driving. People use Waze to record road hazards, police traps, and improve maps.<\/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

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

If anybody in the company has an idea for anything new, they have to write a 6-page business plan, no more no less, and present it at the next team meeting. If they decided to move forward with the plan then in order to get resources from other departments, they write a press-release, assuming the project is a done deal. They need to visualize how the project is helpful to customers, how it would be received by the global community and what questions their audience would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon employees use data to justify their decisions. Junior members of staff are able to move their ideas forward and be considered at for senior level positions.

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

#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

If anybody in the company has an idea for anything new, they have to write a 6-page business plan, no more no less, and present it at the next team meeting. If they decided to move forward with the plan then in order to get resources from other departments, they write a press-release, assuming the project is a done deal. They need to visualize how the project is helpful to customers, how it would be received by the global community and what questions their audience would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon employees use data to justify their decisions. Junior members of staff are able to move their ideas forward and be considered at for senior level positions.

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

AirBnB, a 10-year old travel company, isn't stopping at disrupting the hotel industry. Soon it will move into local specialized tours, restaurant reservations and even flight bookings, as AirBnB continues to leverage so-called \u201cgig-economy\u201d.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople who are underemployed find high-impact work through the sharing economy in consulting, accounting, manufacturing\u201d, explained Andrew Lee, business development manager at AirBnB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our visitors discovered how AirBnB uses technologies, such as IoT, Big Data and Augmented Reality, to compete with high-asset businesses. Smart IoT locks, ID verification and VR previews of rental spots take the stress out of hosting visitors and staying at a stranger\u2019s house. SK Holdings employees were able to project these innovations into their respective businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia: Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia produces graphics processing units (GPU) for gaming, cryptocurrency mining and deep learning. Nvidia GPUs are superior to regular CPUs and enable an array of Artificial Intelligence innovations in areas like smart cities, facial recognition and self-driving cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia technologies are used in a number of industries: from construction and architecture to manufacturing and transportation. The trip to Nvidia was valuable for SK Holdings given that the company works in a number of industries where Nvidia technologies operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon: Internal innovation and a six-page business plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SK Holding employees were amazed with Amazon\u2019s approach to allocating internal resources for new innovative projects. Amazon has a policy called a \u2018Six-page Business Plan\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anybody in the company has an idea for anything new, they have to write a 6-page business plan, no more no less, and present it at the next team meeting. If they decided to move forward with the plan then in order to get resources from other departments, they write a press-release, assuming the project is a done deal. They need to visualize how the project is helpful to customers, how it would be received by the global community and what questions their audience would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon employees use data to justify their decisions. Junior members of staff are able to move their ideas forward and be considered at for senior level positions. The visitors from South Korea noted this as a key difference in American business culture as compared to how they are used to working at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze: The Value of Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Waze is a GPS driving app that uses user-generated data. Back in 2013, this Israeli startup was acquired by Google for a whopping $1.3 bln. At Waze, our tourists learned how businesses can leverage the value of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you are building out a new market you don\u2019t necessarily have to use payment to get somebody to engage with you, you just have to paint a vision that is very attractive,\u201d said Lorentzen, who was present at the meeting with Waze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze is an active community of people, contributing to the \u2018common good\u2019 on the road, improving everyone\u2019s driving. People use Waze to record road hazards, police traps, and improve maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings was interested in how apps like Waze can help advance the concept of a smart, connected city. Google acquired this app to add social context to its mapping business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final goal of every tour like this is to make employees leave the comfort zone of their office and get them to think more openly about technological innovation, say Lorentzen. Our tours get visitors excited about the future and inspired to take action. \u201cIt\u2019s the same kind of excitement that you get from a roller coaster so this is a roller coaster for your brain,\u201d say Lorentzen.<\/p>\n","post_title":"South Korea Holdings Visits Silicon Valley: How to Maintain the State of Innovation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation","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\/south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":834,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-06 11:48:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-06 19:48:00","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

AirBnB, a 10-year old travel company, isn't stopping at disrupting the hotel industry. Soon it will move into local specialized tours, restaurant reservations and even flight bookings, as AirBnB continues to leverage so-called \u201cgig-economy\u201d.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople who are underemployed find high-impact work through the sharing economy in consulting, accounting, manufacturing\u201d, explained Andrew Lee, business development manager at AirBnB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our visitors discovered how AirBnB uses technologies, such as IoT, Big Data and Augmented Reality, to compete with high-asset businesses. Smart IoT locks, ID verification and VR previews of rental spots take the stress out of hosting visitors and staying at a stranger\u2019s house. SK Holdings employees were able to project these innovations into their respective businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia: Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia produces graphics processing units (GPU) for gaming, cryptocurrency mining and deep learning. Nvidia GPUs are superior to regular CPUs and enable an array of Artificial Intelligence innovations in areas like smart cities, facial recognition and self-driving cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia technologies are used in a number of industries: from construction and architecture to manufacturing and transportation. The trip to Nvidia was valuable for SK Holdings given that the company works in a number of industries where Nvidia technologies operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon: Internal innovation and a six-page business plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SK Holding employees were amazed with Amazon\u2019s approach to allocating internal resources for new innovative projects. Amazon has a policy called a \u2018Six-page Business Plan\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anybody in the company has an idea for anything new, they have to write a 6-page business plan, no more no less, and present it at the next team meeting. If they decided to move forward with the plan then in order to get resources from other departments, they write a press-release, assuming the project is a done deal. They need to visualize how the project is helpful to customers, how it would be received by the global community and what questions their audience would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon employees use data to justify their decisions. Junior members of staff are able to move their ideas forward and be considered at for senior level positions. The visitors from South Korea noted this as a key difference in American business culture as compared to how they are used to working at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze: The Value of Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Waze is a GPS driving app that uses user-generated data. Back in 2013, this Israeli startup was acquired by Google for a whopping $1.3 bln. At Waze, our tourists learned how businesses can leverage the value of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you are building out a new market you don\u2019t necessarily have to use payment to get somebody to engage with you, you just have to paint a vision that is very attractive,\u201d said Lorentzen, who was present at the meeting with Waze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze is an active community of people, contributing to the \u2018common good\u2019 on the road, improving everyone\u2019s driving. People use Waze to record road hazards, police traps, and improve maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings was interested in how apps like Waze can help advance the concept of a smart, connected city. Google acquired this app to add social context to its mapping business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley Tours: Adrenaline boost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings employees got their adrenaline boost when they learned how Silicon Valley companies maintain the state of innovation and which technologies are going to disrupt industries where SKH has businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final goal of every tour like this is to make employees leave the comfort zone of their office and get them to think more openly about technological innovation, say Lorentzen. Our tours get visitors excited about the future and inspired to take action. \u201cIt\u2019s the same kind of excitement that you get from a roller coaster so this is a roller coaster for your brain,\u201d say Lorentzen.<\/p>\n","post_title":"South Korea Holdings Visits Silicon Valley: How to Maintain the State of Innovation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation","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\/south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":834,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-06 11:48:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-06 19:48:00","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

AirBnB: The Future of Shared and Gig Economy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

AirBnB, a 10-year old travel company, isn't stopping at disrupting the hotel industry. Soon it will move into local specialized tours, restaurant reservations and even flight bookings, as AirBnB continues to leverage so-called \u201cgig-economy\u201d.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople who are underemployed find high-impact work through the sharing economy in consulting, accounting, manufacturing\u201d, explained Andrew Lee, business development manager at AirBnB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our visitors discovered how AirBnB uses technologies, such as IoT, Big Data and Augmented Reality, to compete with high-asset businesses. Smart IoT locks, ID verification and VR previews of rental spots take the stress out of hosting visitors and staying at a stranger\u2019s house. SK Holdings employees were able to project these innovations into their respective businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia: Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia produces graphics processing units (GPU) for gaming, cryptocurrency mining and deep learning. Nvidia GPUs are superior to regular CPUs and enable an array of Artificial Intelligence innovations in areas like smart cities, facial recognition and self-driving cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia technologies are used in a number of industries: from construction and architecture to manufacturing and transportation. The trip to Nvidia was valuable for SK Holdings given that the company works in a number of industries where Nvidia technologies operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon: Internal innovation and a six-page business plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SK Holding employees were amazed with Amazon\u2019s approach to allocating internal resources for new innovative projects. Amazon has a policy called a \u2018Six-page Business Plan\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anybody in the company has an idea for anything new, they have to write a 6-page business plan, no more no less, and present it at the next team meeting. If they decided to move forward with the plan then in order to get resources from other departments, they write a press-release, assuming the project is a done deal. They need to visualize how the project is helpful to customers, how it would be received by the global community and what questions their audience would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon employees use data to justify their decisions. Junior members of staff are able to move their ideas forward and be considered at for senior level positions. The visitors from South Korea noted this as a key difference in American business culture as compared to how they are used to working at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze: The Value of Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Waze is a GPS driving app that uses user-generated data. Back in 2013, this Israeli startup was acquired by Google for a whopping $1.3 bln. At Waze, our tourists learned how businesses can leverage the value of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you are building out a new market you don\u2019t necessarily have to use payment to get somebody to engage with you, you just have to paint a vision that is very attractive,\u201d said Lorentzen, who was present at the meeting with Waze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze is an active community of people, contributing to the \u2018common good\u2019 on the road, improving everyone\u2019s driving. People use Waze to record road hazards, police traps, and improve maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings was interested in how apps like Waze can help advance the concept of a smart, connected city. Google acquired this app to add social context to its mapping business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley Tours: Adrenaline boost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings\u2019 Silicon Valley journey concluded with a spectacular Google campus tour and Tesla Model X test drive. SK Holdings employees got their adrenaline boost when they learned how Silicon Valley companies maintain the state of innovation and which technologies are going to disrupt industries where SKH has businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final goal of every tour like this is to make employees leave the comfort zone of their office and get them to think more openly about technological innovation, say Lorentzen. Our tours get visitors excited about the future and inspired to take action. \u201cIt\u2019s the same kind of excitement that you get from a roller coaster so this is a roller coaster for your brain,\u201d say Lorentzen.<\/p>\n","post_title":"South Korea Holdings Visits Silicon Valley: How to Maintain the State of Innovation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation","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\/south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":834,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-06 11:48:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-06 19:48:00","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

AirBnB: The Future of Shared and Gig Economy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

AirBnB, a 10-year old travel company, isn't stopping at disrupting the hotel industry. Soon it will move into local specialized tours, restaurant reservations and even flight bookings, as AirBnB continues to leverage so-called \u201cgig-economy\u201d.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople who are underemployed find high-impact work through the sharing economy in consulting, accounting, manufacturing\u201d, explained Andrew Lee, business development manager at AirBnB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our visitors discovered how AirBnB uses technologies, such as IoT, Big Data and Augmented Reality, to compete with high-asset businesses. Smart IoT locks, ID verification and VR previews of rental spots take the stress out of hosting visitors and staying at a stranger\u2019s house. SK Holdings employees were able to project these innovations into their respective businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia: Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia produces graphics processing units (GPU) for gaming, cryptocurrency mining and deep learning. Nvidia GPUs are superior to regular CPUs and enable an array of Artificial Intelligence innovations in areas like smart cities, facial recognition and self-driving cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia technologies are used in a number of industries: from construction and architecture to manufacturing and transportation. The trip to Nvidia was valuable for SK Holdings given that the company works in a number of industries where Nvidia technologies operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon: Internal innovation and a six-page business plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SK Holding employees were amazed with Amazon\u2019s approach to allocating internal resources for new innovative projects. Amazon has a policy called a \u2018Six-page Business Plan\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anybody in the company has an idea for anything new, they have to write a 6-page business plan, no more no less, and present it at the next team meeting. If they decided to move forward with the plan then in order to get resources from other departments, they write a press-release, assuming the project is a done deal. They need to visualize how the project is helpful to customers, how it would be received by the global community and what questions their audience would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon employees use data to justify their decisions. Junior members of staff are able to move their ideas forward and be considered at for senior level positions. The visitors from South Korea noted this as a key difference in American business culture as compared to how they are used to working at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze: The Value of Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Waze is a GPS driving app that uses user-generated data. Back in 2013, this Israeli startup was acquired by Google for a whopping $1.3 bln. At Waze, our tourists learned how businesses can leverage the value of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you are building out a new market you don\u2019t necessarily have to use payment to get somebody to engage with you, you just have to paint a vision that is very attractive,\u201d said Lorentzen, who was present at the meeting with Waze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze is an active community of people, contributing to the \u2018common good\u2019 on the road, improving everyone\u2019s driving. People use Waze to record road hazards, police traps, and improve maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings was interested in how apps like Waze can help advance the concept of a smart, connected city. Google acquired this app to add social context to its mapping business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley Tours: Adrenaline boost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings\u2019 Silicon Valley journey concluded with a spectacular Google campus tour and Tesla Model X test drive. SK Holdings employees got their adrenaline boost when they learned how Silicon Valley companies maintain the state of innovation and which technologies are going to disrupt industries where SKH has businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final goal of every tour like this is to make employees leave the comfort zone of their office and get them to think more openly about technological innovation, say Lorentzen. Our tours get visitors excited about the future and inspired to take action. \u201cIt\u2019s the same kind of excitement that you get from a roller coaster so this is a roller coaster for your brain,\u201d say Lorentzen.<\/p>\n","post_title":"South Korea Holdings Visits Silicon Valley: How to Maintain the State of Innovation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation","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\/south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":834,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-06 11:48:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-06 19:48:00","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

Nvidia technologies are used in a number of industries: from construction and architecture to manufacturing and transportation. The trip to Nvidia was valuable for SK Holdings given that the company works in a number of industries where Nvidia technologies operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon: Internal innovation and a six-page business plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SK Holding employees were amazed with Amazon\u2019s approach to allocating internal resources for new innovative projects. Amazon has a policy called a \u2018Six-page Business Plan\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anybody in the company has an idea for anything new, they have to write a 6-page business plan, no more no less, and present it at the next team meeting. If they decided to move forward with the plan then in order to get resources from other departments, they write a press-release, assuming the project is a done deal. They need to visualize how the project is helpful to customers, how it would be received by the global community and what questions their audience would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon employees use data to justify their decisions. Junior members of staff are able to move their ideas forward and be considered at for senior level positions. The visitors from South Korea noted this as a key difference in American business culture as compared to how they are used to working at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze: The Value of Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Waze is a GPS driving app that uses user-generated data. Back in 2013, this Israeli startup was acquired by Google for a whopping $1.3 bln. At Waze, our tourists learned how businesses can leverage the value of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you are building out a new market you don\u2019t necessarily have to use payment to get somebody to engage with you, you just have to paint a vision that is very attractive,\u201d said Lorentzen, who was present at the meeting with Waze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze is an active community of people, contributing to the \u2018common good\u2019 on the road, improving everyone\u2019s driving. People use Waze to record road hazards, police traps, and improve maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings was interested in how apps like Waze can help advance the concept of a smart, connected city. Google acquired this app to add social context to its mapping business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley Tours: Adrenaline boost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings\u2019 Silicon Valley journey concluded with a spectacular Google campus tour and Tesla Model X test drive. SK Holdings employees got their adrenaline boost when they learned how Silicon Valley companies maintain the state of innovation and which technologies are going to disrupt industries where SKH has businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final goal of every tour like this is to make employees leave the comfort zone of their office and get them to think more openly about technological innovation, say Lorentzen. Our tours get visitors excited about the future and inspired to take action. \u201cIt\u2019s the same kind of excitement that you get from a roller coaster so this is a roller coaster for your brain,\u201d say Lorentzen.<\/p>\n","post_title":"South Korea Holdings Visits Silicon Valley: How to Maintain the State of Innovation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation","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\/south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":834,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-06 11:48:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-06 19:48:00","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

During a tour like this visitors get \u201cemotional adrenaline\u201d, it\u2019s like a roller-coaster for your brain, says Christian Lorentzen, a lead tour guide for Silicon Valley Tours. Visitors get exposed to concepts and technologies they have never heard before, and take a rest from the usual office routine. By the end of the trip, visitors feel enlightened and inspired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings, also known as SK Group, owns businesses across a number of industries in South Korea. For its employees, we created a customized immersive experience that gave them an overview of the latest technologies that are gaining popularity in Silicon Valley and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AirBnB: The Future of Shared and Gig Economy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

AirBnB, a 10-year old travel company, isn't stopping at disrupting the hotel industry. Soon it will move into local specialized tours, restaurant reservations and even flight bookings, as AirBnB continues to leverage so-called \u201cgig-economy\u201d.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople who are underemployed find high-impact work through the sharing economy in consulting, accounting, manufacturing\u201d, explained Andrew Lee, business development manager at AirBnB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our visitors discovered how AirBnB uses technologies, such as IoT, Big Data and Augmented Reality, to compete with high-asset businesses. Smart IoT locks, ID verification and VR previews of rental spots take the stress out of hosting visitors and staying at a stranger\u2019s house. SK Holdings employees were able to project these innovations into their respective businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia: Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia produces graphics processing units (GPU) for gaming, cryptocurrency mining and deep learning. Nvidia GPUs are superior to regular CPUs and enable an array of Artificial Intelligence innovations in areas like smart cities, facial recognition and self-driving cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia technologies are used in a number of industries: from construction and architecture to manufacturing and transportation. The trip to Nvidia was valuable for SK Holdings given that the company works in a number of industries where Nvidia technologies operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon: Internal innovation and a six-page business plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SK Holding employees were amazed with Amazon\u2019s approach to allocating internal resources for new innovative projects. Amazon has a policy called a \u2018Six-page Business Plan\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anybody in the company has an idea for anything new, they have to write a 6-page business plan, no more no less, and present it at the next team meeting. If they decided to move forward with the plan then in order to get resources from other departments, they write a press-release, assuming the project is a done deal. They need to visualize how the project is helpful to customers, how it would be received by the global community and what questions their audience would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon employees use data to justify their decisions. Junior members of staff are able to move their ideas forward and be considered at for senior level positions. The visitors from South Korea noted this as a key difference in American business culture as compared to how they are used to working at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze: The Value of Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Waze is a GPS driving app that uses user-generated data. Back in 2013, this Israeli startup was acquired by Google for a whopping $1.3 bln. At Waze, our tourists learned how businesses can leverage the value of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you are building out a new market you don\u2019t necessarily have to use payment to get somebody to engage with you, you just have to paint a vision that is very attractive,\u201d said Lorentzen, who was present at the meeting with Waze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze is an active community of people, contributing to the \u2018common good\u2019 on the road, improving everyone\u2019s driving. People use Waze to record road hazards, police traps, and improve maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final goal of every tour like this is to make employees leave the comfort zone of their office and get them to think more openly about technological innovation, say Lorentzen. Our tours get visitors excited about the future and inspired to take action. \u201cIt\u2019s the same kind of excitement that you get from a roller coaster so this is a roller coaster for your brain,\u201d say Lorentzen.<\/p>\n","post_title":"South Korea Holdings Visits Silicon Valley: How to Maintain the State of Innovation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation","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\/south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":834,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-06 11:48:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-06 19:48:00","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

SK Holdings, one of the largest conglomerates in South Korea, was looking for an opportunity for intellectual stimulation for its best employees. In October 2017, Silicon Valley Tours organized a trip that featured visits to famous Bay area companies, such as AirBnB, Amazon, Tesla, Waze, SolarCity, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a tour like this visitors get \u201cemotional adrenaline\u201d, it\u2019s like a roller-coaster for your brain, says Christian Lorentzen, a lead tour guide for Silicon Valley Tours. Visitors get exposed to concepts and technologies they have never heard before, and take a rest from the usual office routine. By the end of the trip, visitors feel enlightened and inspired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings, also known as SK Group, owns businesses across a number of industries in South Korea. For its employees, we created a customized immersive experience that gave them an overview of the latest technologies that are gaining popularity in Silicon Valley and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

AirBnB: The Future of Shared and Gig Economy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

AirBnB, a 10-year old travel company, isn't stopping at disrupting the hotel industry. Soon it will move into local specialized tours, restaurant reservations and even flight bookings, as AirBnB continues to leverage so-called \u201cgig-economy\u201d.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople who are underemployed find high-impact work through the sharing economy in consulting, accounting, manufacturing\u201d, explained Andrew Lee, business development manager at AirBnB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our visitors discovered how AirBnB uses technologies, such as IoT, Big Data and Augmented Reality, to compete with high-asset businesses. Smart IoT locks, ID verification and VR previews of rental spots take the stress out of hosting visitors and staying at a stranger\u2019s house. SK Holdings employees were able to project these innovations into their respective businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia: Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia produces graphics processing units (GPU) for gaming, cryptocurrency mining and deep learning. Nvidia GPUs are superior to regular CPUs and enable an array of Artificial Intelligence innovations in areas like smart cities, facial recognition and self-driving cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia technologies are used in a number of industries: from construction and architecture to manufacturing and transportation. The trip to Nvidia was valuable for SK Holdings given that the company works in a number of industries where Nvidia technologies operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon: Internal innovation and a six-page business plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SK Holding employees were amazed with Amazon\u2019s approach to allocating internal resources for new innovative projects. Amazon has a policy called a \u2018Six-page Business Plan\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anybody in the company has an idea for anything new, they have to write a 6-page business plan, no more no less, and present it at the next team meeting. If they decided to move forward with the plan then in order to get resources from other departments, they write a press-release, assuming the project is a done deal. They need to visualize how the project is helpful to customers, how it would be received by the global community and what questions their audience would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon employees use data to justify their decisions. Junior members of staff are able to move their ideas forward and be considered at for senior level positions. The visitors from South Korea noted this as a key difference in American business culture as compared to how they are used to working at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze: The Value of Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Waze is a GPS driving app that uses user-generated data. Back in 2013, this Israeli startup was acquired by Google for a whopping $1.3 bln. At Waze, our tourists learned how businesses can leverage the value of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you are building out a new market you don\u2019t necessarily have to use payment to get somebody to engage with you, you just have to paint a vision that is very attractive,\u201d said Lorentzen, who was present at the meeting with Waze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze is an active community of people, contributing to the \u2018common good\u2019 on the road, improving everyone\u2019s driving. People use Waze to record road hazards, police traps, and improve maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings was interested in how apps like Waze can help advance the concept of a smart, connected city. Google acquired this app to add social context to its mapping business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley Tours: Adrenaline boost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings\u2019 Silicon Valley journey concluded with a spectacular Google campus tour and Tesla Model X test drive. SK Holdings employees got their adrenaline boost when they learned how Silicon Valley companies maintain the state of innovation and which technologies are going to disrupt industries where SKH has businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final goal of every tour like this is to make employees leave the comfort zone of their office and get them to think more openly about technological innovation, say Lorentzen. Our tours get visitors excited about the future and inspired to take action. \u201cIt\u2019s the same kind of excitement that you get from a roller coaster so this is a roller coaster for your brain,\u201d say Lorentzen.<\/p>\n","post_title":"South Korea Holdings Visits Silicon Valley: How to Maintain the State of Innovation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation","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\/south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":834,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-06 11:48:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-06 19:48:00","post_content":"\n

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 sometimes pictured as the Disneyland of innovation. Thousands of thriving businesses and a unique communication culture makes it ideal for innovation tourism, an educational experience comprised of company visits, inspirational workshops and immersive training.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings, one of the largest conglomerates in South Korea, was looking for an opportunity for intellectual stimulation for its best employees. In October 2017, Silicon Valley Tours organized a trip that featured visits to famous Bay area companies, such as AirBnB, Amazon, Tesla, Waze, SolarCity, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a tour like this visitors get \u201cemotional adrenaline\u201d, it\u2019s like a roller-coaster for your brain, says Christian Lorentzen, a lead tour guide for Silicon Valley Tours. Visitors get exposed to concepts and technologies they have never heard before, and take a rest from the usual office routine. By the end of the trip, visitors feel enlightened and inspired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings, also known as SK Group, owns businesses across a number of industries in South Korea. For its employees, we created a customized immersive experience that gave them an overview of the latest technologies that are gaining popularity in Silicon Valley and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

AirBnB: The Future of Shared and Gig Economy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

AirBnB, a 10-year old travel company, isn't stopping at disrupting the hotel industry. Soon it will move into local specialized tours, restaurant reservations and even flight bookings, as AirBnB continues to leverage so-called \u201cgig-economy\u201d.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople who are underemployed find high-impact work through the sharing economy in consulting, accounting, manufacturing\u201d, explained Andrew Lee, business development manager at AirBnB.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our visitors discovered how AirBnB uses technologies, such as IoT, Big Data and Augmented Reality, to compete with high-asset businesses. Smart IoT locks, ID verification and VR previews of rental spots take the stress out of hosting visitors and staying at a stranger\u2019s house. SK Holdings employees were able to project these innovations into their respective businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia: Deep Learning and Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia produces graphics processing units (GPU) for gaming, cryptocurrency mining and deep learning. Nvidia GPUs are superior to regular CPUs and enable an array of Artificial Intelligence innovations in areas like smart cities, facial recognition and self-driving cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nvidia technologies are used in a number of industries: from construction and architecture to manufacturing and transportation. The trip to Nvidia was valuable for SK Holdings given that the company works in a number of industries where Nvidia technologies operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon: Internal innovation and a six-page business plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

SK Holding employees were amazed with Amazon\u2019s approach to allocating internal resources for new innovative projects. Amazon has a policy called a \u2018Six-page Business Plan\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If anybody in the company has an idea for anything new, they have to write a 6-page business plan, no more no less, and present it at the next team meeting. If they decided to move forward with the plan then in order to get resources from other departments, they write a press-release, assuming the project is a done deal. They need to visualize how the project is helpful to customers, how it would be received by the global community and what questions their audience would have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon employees use data to justify their decisions. Junior members of staff are able to move their ideas forward and be considered at for senior level positions. The visitors from South Korea noted this as a key difference in American business culture as compared to how they are used to working at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze: The Value of Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Waze is a GPS driving app that uses user-generated data. Back in 2013, this Israeli startup was acquired by Google for a whopping $1.3 bln. At Waze, our tourists learned how businesses can leverage the value of community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you are building out a new market you don\u2019t necessarily have to use payment to get somebody to engage with you, you just have to paint a vision that is very attractive,\u201d said Lorentzen, who was present at the meeting with Waze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Waze is an active community of people, contributing to the \u2018common good\u2019 on the road, improving everyone\u2019s driving. People use Waze to record road hazards, police traps, and improve maps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings was interested in how apps like Waze can help advance the concept of a smart, connected city. Google acquired this app to add social context to its mapping business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silicon Valley Tours: Adrenaline boost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SK Holdings\u2019 Silicon Valley journey concluded with a spectacular Google campus tour and Tesla Model X test drive. SK Holdings employees got their adrenaline boost when they learned how Silicon Valley companies maintain the state of innovation and which technologies are going to disrupt industries where SKH has businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final goal of every tour like this is to make employees leave the comfort zone of their office and get them to think more openly about technological innovation, say Lorentzen. Our tours get visitors excited about the future and inspired to take action. \u201cIt\u2019s the same kind of excitement that you get from a roller coaster so this is a roller coaster for your brain,\u201d say Lorentzen.<\/p>\n","post_title":"South Korea Holdings Visits Silicon Valley: How to Maintain the State of Innovation","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation","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\/south-korea-holdings-visits-silicon-valley-how-to-maintain-the-state-of-innovation\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":834,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2018-01-06 11:48:00","post_date_gmt":"2018-01-06 19:48:00","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

#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
