    What You Chase Is Who You Are (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Imagine this moment - one of your best performers has been using the new AI tools really effectively for three months. Their output is visibly up, they’ve managed to deliver three improvement initiatives in 6 weeks that were meant to take 6 months. They stop you near the lifts, ask about your weekend, chat about their work progress and then (semi-jokingly) ask: “If AI makes me twice as productive, what do I get out of it?”The real question they are asking – ‘If an employee creates more value wit

    What Are We Doing About AI? (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    You know those meetings. Where everyone is in the minutiae of a specific problem, talking about the technicalities or the budget or the 400-line project plan and you’re sitting there thinking ‘yes, but what are we REALLY trying to do here??’There seems to be a lot of executive discussions about AI at the moment that sound like this. You know the one – where ‘AI’ is the subject line on the agenda. The CTO is talking tech strategy, overall budget and which tools to select, someone interrogates wha

    Anyone who has renovated a house knows the moment. You are standing in a room that does not work. Maybe the light is poor, maybe the flow is awkward, or perhaps the kitchen sits a long walk from the table. And, driven by available time or cash, your instinct is to make it work by moving the minor things around. Shift the bench. Add better cupboards.

    Excerpt

    Remember Y2K?Picture this – New Years Eve, 1999. Technology teams primed for complete annihilation – generators ready, every piece of electronic data printed out, sitting ready, in case the technology ‘fails’. Midnight rolls around, champagne corks pop at parties everywhere, and computers keep running. By Monday morning, everyone is arguing whether all of the remediation work was worth it – and whether they should have spent all the cash (estimates at the time put it at the hundred of billions o

    The World Says 'Go Faster'. Good Org Design Says 'Not Without Thinking'. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    Over the past month, it seems like almost every conversation that I have with business leaders manages to weave its way back to AI. They don’t start there, but they end up there…. And there’s often a frustration with the topic. The barely contained urgency that seems to be behind all messaging, the much celebrated ‘potential’ as a tool for commercial success, the thinking that it can be the unicorn performer that will guarantee your business succeeds.And honestly, it feels a little overwhelming.
