Consumer behaviors shift constantly. Market dynamics evolve. Technical data, sensory&nbsp;learnings&nbsp;and formulation knowledge continue to grow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The challenge&nbsp;isn&#8217;t&nbsp;about&nbsp;collecting more information.&nbsp;It\u2019s making&nbsp;sense of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&#8220;For me, there are three main aspects&nbsp;to consider with&nbsp;AI,&#8221;&nbsp;explains&nbsp;Mattei. &#8220;Knowledge, prediction and automation.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-knowledge-begins-with-data-accessibility\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>KNOWLEDGE BEGINS WITH DATA ACCESSIBILITY<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Organizations have enormous amounts of information, but that knowledge only creates value when experts can quickly find what matters most. Connected digital systems help&nbsp;consolidate&nbsp;information across the innovation process, making it easier to surface relevant insights,&nbsp;identify&nbsp;relationships&nbsp;and support better decisions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anne Besnard, Global Director of Cognitive and Data Science at IFF, sees accessibility as one of digital transformation&#8217;s greatest opportunities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;It&#8217;s about making data accessible, readable and relevant for the people who need it,&#8221; she says. &#8220;The knowledge is there\u2014we&#8217;re helping people access it more effectively.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-prediction-creates-more-confident-innovation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>PREDICTION CREATES MORE CONFIDENT INNOVATION<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/es\/food-beverage\/digital-flavor-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Digital&nbsp;flavor&nbsp;technologies<\/a>\u2014including AI-powered predictive models\u2014are helping innovation teams&nbsp;anticipate&nbsp;sensory profiles, formulation&nbsp;performance&nbsp;and technical characteristics earlier in the development process. That&nbsp;doesn&#8217;t&nbsp;eliminate&nbsp;experimentation. It simply allows teams to begin with stronger hypotheses and explore possibilities more efficiently.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of relying solely on trial and error, innovators can move forward with greater confidence while expanding the range of ideas they explore.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The knowledge is there \u2014 we&#8217;re helping people access it more effectively.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Digital transformation also allows organizations to learn&nbsp;faster. As insights become more connected, each project contributes knowledge that can strengthen future innovation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result is not only greater speed, but smarter speed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-automation-opens-more-space-for-creativity\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>AUTOMATION OPENS MORE SPACE FOR CREATIVITY<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Automation is the third pillar of Mattei&#8217;s framework\u2014but not for the reasons many people assume.&nbsp;He explains that&nbsp;it\u2019s&nbsp;not about replacing experts.&nbsp;It&#8217;s&nbsp;about allowing them to focus on work only they can do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Some tasks are manual and repetitive,&#8221; says Mattei. &#8220;Those are the tasks that digital technologies can help automate so our experts can focus on more sophisticated work and creativity.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/shutterstock_2586321875-1-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"A spinning wheel of glowing AI data in an angled circle with one glowing dot in the middle and data floating up from that center.

It can recognize patterns. It can generate predictions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But creativity, intuition, sensory&nbsp;expertise&nbsp;and cultural understanding remain fundamentally human.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The future&nbsp;isn&#8217;t&nbsp;about choosing between people and technology.&nbsp;It&#8217;s&nbsp;about helping both&nbsp;evolve together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-ai-as-a-catalyst-for-leadership\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:23px\"><strong>AI as a Catalyst for Leadership<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artificial intelligence may dominate today&#8217;s headlines, but Mattei believes organizations should focus on something much bigger than AI itself.&nbsp;He compares AI to a catalyst in a chemical reaction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;If you don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re trying to obtain\u2014if you don&#8217;t understand the reaction or the conditions\u2014you&#8217;ll simply accelerate nonsense,&#8221; he&nbsp;shares.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, AI&nbsp;doesn&#8217;t&nbsp;create&nbsp;strategy.&nbsp;It accelerates it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s&nbsp;why successful digital transformation begins with trusted data, connected knowledge, responsible&nbsp;governance&nbsp;and clearly defined&nbsp;objectives. Without that foundation, even the most advanced technologies can produce inconsistent results or amplify poor decisions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sustainability is also part of the equation, notes Mattei: \u201cWe use AI only when it delivers clear, differentiated value.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He emphasizes&nbsp;that&nbsp;IFF\u2019s&nbsp;priority is to use AI when it&nbsp;complements efficient or more sustainable approaches&nbsp;\u2013 but not to just use technology for technology\u2019s sake.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, leadership&nbsp;isn&#8217;t&nbsp;measured by how quickly organizations adopt AI.&nbsp;It&#8217;s&nbsp;measured by how thoughtfully they build the digital ecosystem around it.&nbsp;As AI becomes more accessible across industries, that foundation becomes an increasingly important differentiator.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-ai-assisted-inspiration-with-concept-muse\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:23px\"><strong>AI-Assisted<\/strong> Inspiration with CONCEPT MUSE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One example of this philosophy in action is&nbsp;CONCEPT MUSE, IFF\u2019s food and beverage concept-generation AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than replacing the creative process, the AI-assisted platform helps innovation teams explore new product concepts grounded in IFF&#8217;s proprietary consumer insights, flavor&nbsp;expertise&nbsp;and market intelligence. It gives teams more directions to consider, uncovers opportunities they may not have explored otherwise and accelerates early-stage ideation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Mattei puts it, the goal&nbsp;isn&#8217;t&nbsp;simply to use AI:&nbsp;\u201cWe&nbsp;don\u2019t&nbsp;want to&nbsp;just&nbsp;be&nbsp;AI&nbsp;users. We want to be&nbsp;AI&nbsp;designers.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means building digital capabilities that solve meaningful problems and create unique value\u2014not simply adopting technology because&nbsp;it&#8217;s&nbsp;available.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-bringing-ideas-to-life-through-kaleido-immersive-spaces\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:23px\"><strong>Bringing Ideas to Life through KALEIDO Immersive Spaces<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"230\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Singapore_Kaleido_Brightened-300x230.jpg\" alt=\"The grand opening of IFF's Kaleido immersive space, located in Singapore.\" class=\"wp-image-40476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Singapore_Kaleido_Brightened-300x230.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Singapore_Kaleido_Brightened-1024x785.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Singapore_Kaleido_Brightened-768x589.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Singapore_Kaleido_Brightened-391x300.jpg 391w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Singapore_Kaleido_Brightened-200x153.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Singapore_Kaleido_Brightened.jpg 1408w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideas become stronger when&nbsp;they&#8217;re&nbsp;experienced together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/es\/food-beverage\/taste\/kaleido-immersive-spaces\/\">KALEIDO\u00a0immersive spaces<\/a>\u00a0reflect another important aspect of IFF&#8217;s digital transformation strategy by bringing customers\u00a0and experts\u00a0into immersive, multi-sensory environments where ideas can be explored,\u00a0refined\u00a0and\u00a0validated\u00a0collaboratively.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By combining visual storytelling, taste, aroma and other sensory elements, KALEIDO helps transform data and concepts into experiences that inspire better conversations, stronger&nbsp;collaboration&nbsp;and more confident decisions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s&nbsp;another reminder that digital innovation&nbsp;isn&#8217;t&nbsp;about replacing human interaction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s&nbsp;about making collaboration even more meaningful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-future-of-digital-flavor-innovation\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:23px\"><strong>The Future of Digital Flavor Innovation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Digital transformation will continue to reshape the future of flavor innovation.&nbsp;Artificial intelligence will become more sophisticated.
