"The number one obstacle to a business’ growth is its ability to scale business intelligence, have visibility into its data and the ability to make informed business decisions. It may be time to look at how you are leveraging your most significant asset—your data."By Evan Schwartz

Artificial intelligence is not an unstoppable force—it’s a tool shaped by human intent. As education, creativity, and industry rapidly evolve, we stand at a crossroads between fear and empowerment. The future will be defined not by what AI can do, but by what we choose to do with it.

In Waste Advantage Magazine, Evan J. Schwartz, Chief Innovation Officer at AMCS Group, makes the case that sustainability and profitability are not competing priorities — they are the same opportunity. In his article "Why Your Biggest Carbon Problem Is Your Greatest Profit Opportunity," Evan challenges the industry's tendency to treat ESG reporting as a compliance checkbox, and reframes carbon footprint data as a powerful diagnostic tool for identifying operational inefficiencies hiding in plain sight.

Drawing on real-world results across route optimization, contamination detection, and predictive maintenance, Evan explains how AI-driven systems can surface the profit leaks that traditional benchmarking misses entirely. From reducing carbon emissions and container overflows to preventing costly vehicle breakdowns before they happen, the article demonstrates how interconnected these initiatives truly are — and why organizations that operationalize sustainability into their daily decisions consistently outperform those that keep it siloed in a quarterly report

Evan J. Schwartz's newest piece, "Why AI, Why Now And Why Your Company Can't Afford To Wait," reframes the AI conversation for business leaders. The real competitive edge isn't efficiency or headcount reduction—it's asymmetric growth driven by a new kind of leader: the Steward. Drawing on his Stewardship Model, he outlines how organizations can compress corporate complexity, accelerate iteration, and build the human capabilities AI requires. The message is clear: the window to lead is open now, but it's closing faster than most companies realize.

By adopting a Data-First approach, you can build connected intelligence while providing AI analysis to automate decision-making, creating highly reactive connected intelligent systems.
