  • Corporate Survival Tip: Ask Your Team This Question Once Every Year
    Corporate Survival Tip: Ask Your Team This Question Once Every Year. Thomas M. Siebel was the founder of Siebel Systems, a pioneer in the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and is CEO of C3.ai, a provider of enterprise artificial intelligence software. He was named by BUSINESSWEEK as one of the top 25 managers in global business and is a three-time recipient of EY Entrepreneur of the Year. Let's assume this person knows what he is talking about! Here is our takeaway from Mr. Siebel’s new book, DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION: SURVIVE AND THRIVE IN AN ERA OF MASS EXTINCTION. (2019): Here is the one question to ask your team each year: “Is our industry facing evolutionary change or are we going through a period of “punctuated equilibrium?” This question sounds like something a philosophy professor might ask in an undergraduate seminar. The question is anything but academic. How the Board responds to this question can then be a North Star for creating corporate strategy, corporate culture, hiring, and compensation. Evolutionary Change vs. Punctuated Equilibrium: When Charles Darwin wrote ON THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES (1859), he proposed evolution as a process of continuous change—a slow and unceasing survival of the fittest over vast periods of time. In business we constantly see evolution. Each year new and improved car models appear. Each year our computer operating systems are upgraded. Apple comes out with a new and better mobile device every two years, etc. The laptop you are using may be 1 “modern” but its evolution can easily be traced to the Xerox’ Alto Personal Computer of 1973.

  • Written Testimony to the United States House of Representatives Energy & Commerce
    Written Testimony to the United States House of Representatives Energy & Commerce Committee, Subcommittee on Energy and Power “The 21st Century Electricity Challenge: Ensuring a Secure, Reliable, and Modern Electricity System” By Thomas M. Siebel, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, C3 Energy March 4, 2015 1 Summary The National Academy of Engineering has identified the electrical grid as the most important scientific achievement of the 20th century. That infrastructure is now being substantially upgraded and the resultant advanced smart grid will be one of the largest and most complex machines ever conceived. The Smart Grid will likely prove to be one of the most significant scientific achievements of the 21st century. It is estimated that as much as $2 trillion is being invested this decade in upgrading the power infrastructure globally to make the devices in the power grid remotely machine addressable. The most common example is the smart meter that allows the grid operator to remotely sense the electric or gas meter’s state in near real time. As the grid becomes increasingly sensored, it becomes a fully connected sensor network (think of it as the Internet of Energy) and unprecedented amounts of data are produced. These data can be integrated, processed, and analyzed using state-of-the-art information technology in a manner to optimize the power generation and distribution value chain. C3 Energy is a private sector response to this challenge and opportunity, harnessing the power of big data, social networking, cloud computing, human-computer interaction models, and machine learning to realize advances in safety, reliability, cost efficiency, and security of power generation and delivery – unlocking a benefit of up to $300 per meter, per year, in recurring annual economic benefit for U.S.

  • Proposal to the Senate Educational Policy Committee
    EP.19.47_FINAL Approved by EP 02/25/2019 Proposal to the Senate Educational Policy Committee PROPOSAL TITLE: Establish the Siebel Digital Transformation Institute in the National Center for Supercomputing Applications CONTACT: Dr. William Gropp Director, National Center for Supercomputing Applications Professor, Department of Computer Science 217-244-6720 [email protected] BRIEF DESCRIPTION: We propose to establish the Siebel Digital Transformation Institute (SDTI), an innovative program to create the scientific underpinnings of the field of human-centered, digital transformation that would be jointly headquartered at the University of Illinois, Urbana- Champaign (Illinois) and the University of California, Berkeley (Berkeley). Illinois and Berkeley, working with key private and public sector partners, will lead a consortium of world-renowned universities to catalyze research activities and advances in Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things and Big Data predictive analytics. The SDTI will replace and expand the activities of the Siebel Energy Institute, established in 2015 and headquartered at Berkeley. On our campus, the program will be housed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA). With decades of experience working with faculty, staff, and students to apply advanced computing and data to transform both scholarship and society, NCSA is uniquely positioned to house the SDTI. NCSA has a history of managing national computing resources, (e.g., the Blue Waters supercomputer and the data facility for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope), and has long supported both innovative cyberinfrastructure for campus (the Deep Learning MRI) and access to computational resources for faculty in departments and colleges across campus (through programs such as NCSA Faculty Fellows).
