In a recent interview with Jodi Shelton, Jensen Huang was asked who he considers the smartest person he has ever met. His answer was unexpected:
“The definition of smart is very different than most people think. Smart is someone who sits at the intersection of disciplines, brings together different points of view, connects things that other people don’t connect, and sees things that other people don’t see. From that come new ideas, new possibilities, and new ways of doing things.”
As complexity increases, the real differentiator for organizations is not isolated expertise. It is the ability to connect signals, align perspectives, and systematically translate insight into execution.
Harvard Business Review Analytic Services describes the importance of augmented metrics that make hidden signals visible and reduce noise, allowing organizations to focus on what truly drives outcomes.
CovQ® (Compound Value Creator Quotient) was developed to operationalize exactly this intersection, including the effective integration of Artificial Intelligence and Human Intelligence. As a value creation management platform, it enables organizations to assess value drivers, prioritize strategic initiatives, and track execution and outcomes in a measurable, end-to-end way.
That is the organizational form of what Jensen Huang described as smart.
