AI Business Opportunities & Responsible Scaling: From Productivity Wins to New Value Chains with Amir Elion

On AI Biz, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Amir Elion—innovation and transformation leader (ex-AWS Digital Innovation, Nordics) and founder of ThinkPeak Leaders—to cut through the AI hype. They map where the real business value is today: operational productivity, AI-enhanced products & customer experiences, and entirely new value networks & business models. Amir explains how Amazon’s Working Backwards framework keeps teams customer-anchored, how to scale AI responsibly (fairness, transparency, privacy, security), and why sustainable AI—environmental and social—must be built in from day one. Practical, direct, and grounded for executives, builders, and public-sector leaders who need AI that ships value and keeps trust.

 

 

About the Guest  :

Amir Elion is a business innovation leader with 25+ years guiding enterprises (Volvo, Adobe, Johnson & Johnson) and startups. Formerly led AWS’s Digital Innovation Program in the Nordics. Founder of ThinkPeak Leaders, he helps organizations turn AI, cloud, and emerging tech into practical, customer-centric outcomes. He’s also a shiatsu therapist, bringing a holistic lens to leadership and systems change.

 

Key Takeaways:

• Three buckets of AI value:

1. 1. Operational productivity at scale; 2) Product & experience enhancement for customers/stakeholders; 3) New value chains & business models that rewire markets.

• Start with customers, not tech: Use Working Backwards—Who is the customer? What problem matters most? What’s the primary benefit? Only then decide if AI fits.

• Don’t force AI: If the customer needs speed/low cost without complexity, a simpler non-AI solution may win.

• Responsible scaling in practice: Design for fairness, inclusiveness, transparency, privacy, and security; involve cross-functional voices early.

• Sustainable AI: Account for energy/water usage and social impact; align with circular economy and governance frameworks.

• Regulation as guidance: Evolving rules (e.g., risk-based approaches) won’t stop innovation; they shape pace and build trust.

• Portfolio mindset: Balance near-term productivity plays with measured bets on AI-enabled features and longer-horizon business-model shifts.

• Act now: Pick a real, high-impact use case, expect learning curves, and build internal literacy; waiting is the bigger risk.
