Cofounder, O9

Sanjiv Sidhu, cofounder of o9, has spoken about the company's goal of helping corporations plan and react more efficiently in a volatile business environment. He described o9's approach as "AI-driven management," which he said involves artificial intelligence augmenting human intelligence to improve decision-making. Sidhu noted that the team behind o9 previously created the supply chain company i2, which he claimed "produced more value for corporations than all competitors put together," and said o9 aims to exceed that by achieving "10x the efficiency, 10x the speed, 10x reduction in value leakage, but also 10x happier people." Sidhu has also discussed the role of spreadsheets and tribal knowledge in corporate planning. He stated that with new AI technologies, o9 aims to reduce the time needed to digest spreadsheets and understand the reasoning behind their use, incorporating that knowledge into its platforms. In earlier appearances, Sidhu has addressed topics including the challenges of change management in large enterprises, the importance of decoupling intention from action in mindfulness practices, and his view that entrepreneurs often do not perceive themselves as risk-takers but rather as optimists who mitigate risk.
“Talking about tribal knowledge, one of the biggest sources is the spreadsheets people use — we've been very good at, and I think we've kind of mastered, being able to take in the spreadsheets.”
“With the new AI technologies, I think we're going to cut the time it requires for us to digest a spreadsheet — we'll be able to understand the conversation or the reason people are using that spreadsheet.”
“Right now we still apply talent to be able to do that, but it's an exciting time where we'll be able to just suck that in and take it into our knowledge databases or knowledge models and do interesting things with it.”
“We're really motivated by making corporations much more efficient.”
“Today the world is pretty complex, not only complex it's volatile — things are changing very, very rapidly; technology is changing very rapidly and digital trends are changing very fast, companies need to react to that at scale.”
“They need to be able to react very rapidly and not just rapidly but intelligently — and that's what we are all about.”
“The team at o9 had a lot to do with creating i2, which by the way was a great planning company — the claim is that i2 produced more value for corporations than all competitors put together.”
“At o9 we want to be able to exceed that by 10x — 10x the efficiency, 10x the speed, 10x reduction in value leakage, but also 10x happier people.”
“We're calling it AIM10x — it stands for the 10x improvement we discussed earlier, but the acronym really stands for AI-driven management, so it's artificial intelligence teaming with people, augmenting their intelligence to create better results for corporations.”
“Hopefully you leave with great ideas, new information, but more importantly great motivation to make a big difference to your company, a big difference to the earth and a big difference to the people around you.”
“Awareness is the ability to observe without really getting engaged — the moment you get engaged to try to problem-solve you're no longer an objective observer.”
“When I step out of my house I typically stand in front of a mirror — I wanted a mirror not to look at how I look externally but how I look internally; our mirror stores previous images so you can reflect on yesterday and the day before.”
“In analytics there are three things we want to focus on: what were your behaviors, what emotions drove those behaviors, and what were the underlying desires.”
“The software is showing the number of instances I reported — for example 'distracted by social media' shows up high, and by the way the software has bugs: 'distracted by social media' I don't do that, it's really a bug in the software.”
“When I'm rushed then I'm doing unmindful eating — I can see connections where certain desires like 'success of V2' become so strong that the desire is taking over me and I get disempowered.”
