Rob Fisher, global head of advisory and vice chair of KPMG US, had one of the more unique responses to how he uses AI.
Fisher’s background is in banking, but he now oversees tens of thousands of employees across different industries and works with clients in 11 sectors. He said that AI has been “incredible as a turbocharger” for helping him quickly get up to speed in sectors he’s less familiar with, and cutting through jargon and acronyms in documents.
“I feel like I can be a better leader to people who are in parts of our business further away from where I grew up,” he said.
Before a meeting, Fisher said he often pulls together sources in a Notebook LLM and asks it questions about the topic. “I’m not an expert, but I’m also not going to be a complete dummy when I show up for that meeting,” he said.
The head of advisory also said he’s been collaborating with KPMG’s tax business recently, and has used AI to create visuals to better illustrate how the two divisions could work together.
“The fun you can have with creating silly visuals of tax and advisory playing together. We were doing an ocean thing, and we were two dolphins swimming in the sea together, because dolphins have a way of communicating with each other,” he told Business Insider.
“It’s just fun to visualize creatively,” he said. “You can create your own fun stuff right there on the fly, limited only by your imagination.”
