Gary Kazmaier: 作为Workday的产品和技术总裁,我认为Workday不仅仅是一个管理人员和资金的系统,它更是日常工作体验中不可或缺的一部分,直接影响着员工的职业发展和工作满意度。企业软件不应该是一个封闭的系统,而应该是一个开放的生态系统,与不同的供应商合作,整合各种能力,以满足客户的特定需求。我坚信,软件的本质是服务于人的工具,而不是让人服务于软件。因此,我们应该关注如何通过AI等技术手段,帮助人们更好地完成工作,而不是让技术本身成为目的。在Workday,我们致力于通过AI赋能,打造更智能、更高效的企业管理平台,提升用户体验,最终实现企业和员工的共同成长。我始终认为,理解细节是做出正确决策的关键。因此,我会深入了解用户在使用Workday时遇到的问题,并不断改进我们的产品和服务,以满足他们的需求。我相信,通过持续不断的努力,我们可以让Workday成为一个真正卓越的企业管理平台。 Gary Kazmaier: 我认为AI在企业软件中的应用需要谨慎,不能仅仅是表面的叠加,而应该深入到业务流程的核心,彻底改变工作方式。例如,在招聘领域,AI可以帮助招聘人员做出更明智的决策,而无需填写繁琐的表格。当然,AI也存在偏见和滥用的风险,我们需要采取措施加以防范。Workday正在积极投资AI,并将其应用于各个职能部门,以提升效率和用户体验。我相信,通过正确的策略和方法,我们可以让AI成为企业发展的强大引擎。 Gary Kazmaier: 我认为企业软件的未来在于构建一个智能的生态系统,与不同的供应商合作,整合各种能力,以满足客户的特定需求。Workday正在朝着这个方向努力,并致力于为用户提供更智能、更高效的企业管理平台。我相信,通过持续不断的创新和改进,我们可以让Workday成为企业成功的关键因素。

Shownotes Transcript

Today, I’m talking with Gerrit Kazmaier, the brand-new president of product and technology at Workday. Gerrit’s new on the job, maybe a little bit braver than most, and to his credit he came on the show and took the heat. We spent a lot of time talking about what enterprise software really is, what it does and why it has a reputation of being so deeply frustrating for so many people.
