"It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing"—Duke Ellington’s immortal words composed almost a century ago resonate deeply in the latest episode of the Data-powered Innovation Jam. Hosts Ron Tolido, Robert Engels, and Weiwei Feng explore TechnoVision 2025, Capgemini’s annual technology trend analysis, where ‘The Pendulum Swing’ captures the rapidly oscillating, intwined worlds of technology, business, and society.
For this special edition, they’re joined by an insider: Michiel Boreel, Global CTO of Sogeti and a key TechnoVision author, adding decades of experience to the mix. Together, they go through the essentials and break down the top trends—dominated by data and AI—before diving into the balancing acts that architects, strategists, and innovators must navigate. There’s a spotlight on augmentation by AI, as it explores the edges of value, trust and explainability versus what defines us as humans.
And with swing as the theme, the musical discussions naturally find their rhythm. So, pluck that double bass, strum that guitar, and hit those drums—this episode is all jazzed up with insight, innovation, and improvisation.
