  • Engaging the whole brain with enterprise AI adoption

    I mean a few things with this title. One is the classic reference to address the left and right brain side of activities with adoption, i.e. the human, emotional side vs the rational, business, technological side. But I also mean you can’t just address adoption in parts – you have to get everyone engaged, companywide,…

  • The role of Systems Culture and Strategy for AI adoption

    As I work on a new trend report, this one titled Future of HumAIn Work, I am researching, thinking and synthesising as I go. To help me and publicise this ongoing work, I’m writing posts and also creating videos. This post contains some thoughts about the factors that impact AI technology adoption. I think a core…

  • Seeds of potentiality and growth mindset then lived experience

    “Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.” This is a quote from W.H. Murray, penned during or after a Scottish Himalayan expedition he was on and it’s a fitting…

  • SenseMaking from the Web

    This post captures sense making and writing from others I thought worth sharing with my subscribers. I’ve automated this (more on how if interested) but the curation, which is a discerning process, is all human. This collection is predominantly focused on AI and its adoption in the enterprise since I am writing a trend report focused on this and because…

  • Future of humAIn work – technology adoption

    As I work on a new trend report, this one titled Future of HumAIn Work, I am researching, thinking and synthesising as I go. To help me and publicise this ongoing work, I’m writing posts and also creating videos – sense making essentially. This post contains a video I put together covering one aspect – technology…

  • In an age of more the value of less

    As the featured image suggests, this is a thought rocket, some sensemaking on the fly – essentially some quick thoughts on a recent development, announcement, something random, etc. In this post, it’s the latter, and I’m experimenting with a new format. The format is basically an Instagram post with multiple images I created, in a…

  • A fire in my head

    I’ve been writing a lot about AI recently. I work with the technology every day and I’m doing research for a new trend report on the subject. I’m drowning in AI. This post is about writing, creativity, ideas and the importance of this faced with an onslaught of AI. I often write to sense make.…

  • AI and Humans at Work – An Experiment

    I’m working on a trend report (Future of HumAIn Work) exploring the interrelationship between AI technologies and the employee experience. I experimented researching an aspect of the subject using AI and this post showcases the approach and result. I was inspired by a recent article I came across after numerous Copilot queries, by Mckinsey &…

  • SenseMaking from the Web

    The myth that remote work stifles innovation and creativity is gaining ground–but the same evidence shows that it was only true in the pre-2010s workplace Posted on January 3. The pendulum keeps swinging and this time, in this article, in favour of remote work. It posits, with evidence, that with the advent of social and…

  • Reflections in the transitional void

    This last post for the year comes at a great time for reflection, on what passed in the year before and what is to come in the year ahead. The welcome lull that the festive season affords is one of my favourite times not just because I get dedicated time to spend with family. I…

    How to fight the “tyranny of small decisions” Posted on December 15. The book shop in Garrett’s local town always has beautiful displays. Every time he walks past, Garrett smiles at some quirky, cuddly toy hang-gliding … 5 Forces That Will Drive the Adoption of GenAI Posted on December 14. Today there’s a lot of…

  • Build an adoption lab for your AI culture

    As every company becomes a technology company, so too must every company become proficient in the art and science of technology adoption. I’ve written about technology adoption and adoption hacking many times before since I work in this area in my professional capacity, with customers. As I wrote in a recent post too, we are…

  • Dont outsource all reasoning and communication to AI

    Charlie Munger (may he RIP) once said on AI: ‘I think old-fashioned intelligence works pretty well’. He was well known to have been sceptical of many things related to AI. Think what you may of him, he was a rather successful businessman who made many good decisions in his life, so I’d be inclined to…
