Leading by Going Deep, When It Matters.
In this snippet, Adam Harmetz, Vice President of Product Management at Microsoft, shares how he balances strategy with hands-on leadership.
At his best, Adam focuses on the big picture, creating the right environment and giving senior leaders the autonomy to go deep, where the real work happens. But there are moments when leaders must dive in themselves.
He goes deep to be a role model for new team members, during major culture shifts, and especially now with AI. By actively using AI and encouraging others to do the same, leaders send a clear signal: adaptation matters.
Drawing from past transformations at Microsoft, from design-led thinking to today’s AI wave, Adam shows how deep engagement, even in projects that don’t “win,” can shape an organization’s future.

Efficiency First: Building a Climate Strategy from the Ground Up”
In this snippet, Monika Tenerowicz, ex-Climate Officer at Orange Polska, currently Deputy Head of Communications and Marketing at Upstream Poland Division, Orlen SA, shares how the company’s climate journey took shape.
While Orange Polska officially published its climate ambitions in April 2021, the work started much earlier, through scattered initiatives driven by one core belief: efficiency should be the way forward.
By 2020, the team began calculating its carbon footprint and identifying priority areas. As an infrastructural telecom, their focus naturally turned to scope 1 and 2 emissions, from network operations, fuel use in fleets, and the energy required to power the network.
A clear reminder that meaningful climate action starts with measurement, focus, and operational efficiency.

Deepfakes & Democracy: A Dangerous Line
In this snippet, Matthew Blakemore, CEO at AI Caramba!, raises serious concerns about the rise of deepfakes, especially during elections.
With examples already online of people appearing to say things they never said, the risk is clear. A flood of deepfakes before an election could heavily influence outcomes, and that’s deeply problematic.
Still, Matthew points to a hopeful sign: when parties publicly call out and clarify deepfakes, it helps protect democratic processes.
The takeaway?
👉 Technology is advancing fast.
👉 Accountability and transparency must move faster.
Because deepfakes are simply not a good look for democracy.

🧪 AI and Science: The Next Wave of Discovery
Martin Riedmiller, Research Scientist and Controls Team Lead, Google DeepMind
AI is moving beyond pattern recognition and becoming a true partner in scientific discovery. From cognitive science to physics to drug design, we are entering a future where AI not only helps us understand the world but also uncovers insights that humans alone might miss.
As we deepen our understanding of AI, these systems will accelerate research, generate new hypotheses, and reveal patterns across disciplines in ways that were previously unimaginable. Early signs of this shift are already emerging in multiple scientific fields.
The future of science will be shaped by humans and AI working together
not just using knowledge, but advancing it.
