• The difference between a strategy and a plan

    I watched an Instagram clip the other day. It blew me away with what I thought was an ingenious strategy. It led to a thought captured in the title of this post. And to unearth a now widespread video published by Harvard 2 years ago. It nails the thought perfectly and the title is: A…


  • Thoughts on rapid prototyping for Copilot Agents

    In the next wave of Generative AI in the enterprise, the prompt is not the game, the business outcome is. And it’s with an Agent aligned to every business process, that the next level and business outcomes are going to be reached. Agentic AI aligned to business process requires a very different approach. I’ve been…


  • Why evaluating AI at current point in time is wrong

    At every juncture of technological innovation, one has to decide where one lies. What position to take and more importantly, how to act moving forward. You have to do it as an individual, company leaders have to decide strategically on behalf of the organisation they lead. The Technology Adoption Lifecycle was created by Everett Rogers…


  • SenseMaking from the Web

    This large collection has a decidedly end of year feel. Topics have been categorised and summarised below. Top of the list is unsurprising but some old favourites too. AI and TechnologyArticles discussing how AI agents are replacing traditional enterprise applications and how companies like Accenture and Nvidia are scaling them for business use. But all…


  • SenseMaking from the Web

    Unsurprisingly, as the cacophony around AI reaches fever pitch, this is a collection of articles on the topic. It’s so funny how much that is written is reactive and short term in its perspective. Few take the long view and understand the arc of change we are about to undergo. The impact AI will have…


  • Major forces shaping the future of work

    It’s mind blowing, the forces shaping how we work and will work in the future. They can be overwhelming or exhilarating, depending on your view, but you can’t ignore them. And they will be different depending on your viewpoint. These are mine. I met someone on LinkedIn. From an initial chat we progressed to a…


  • The discounted innovation in Software as a Service

    I work with enterprise software customers in a post-sales role. I’m often asked to justify the ongoing costs that are part of the SaaS model, i.e. subscription based. Here are my thoughts that I am going to share next time I am asked. I like to think of it as discounted innovation. To begin explaining…


  • Identifying Technology Transformation S Curves for Modern Work

    Determining where the world of work is heading and how it is being transformed is not easy work and there are many great thinkers and institutions spending time on this. But for anyone leading a company or involved in the business of technology transformation, it’s imperative you do your own thinking. Here is mine. This…


  • Your AI Transformation is a journey not a destination

    If you’re involved in a major change or transformation at work focused on adopting new AI technologies, this is an important perspective to be aware of. I’m researching this subject for a new trend report (Future of HumAIn Work) and work in this area (disclosure) and in my experience, this perspective or mindset and getting it…


  • Future of HumAIn Work – Human Centric AI Transformation

    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 a video I put together covering one aspect – Human Centric AI Transformation. The…


  • An holistic approach to AI transformation – Sense Making with Copilot

    In this post I’ve tried to elicit some insights using a Question and Answer approach with Copilot around best approaches to AI transformation. All still in service of the new trend report I’m working on. Some interesting observations – all of Copilot responses are in grey background. My commentary is in blue background. I only…


  • Project versus product management in AI Transformation

    I touch on this subject because of the work I am doing currently on AI transformations and, in this work, what so often comes up is the approach to take in managing activities. I have seen so many frameworks on this, some bad and some good. I think they are important and wrote about this…


  • How to align your Employee Experience with your AI Transformation efforts

    This follows my last post in which I shared a video to explain the importance of internal communications with employees for AI Transformation efforts as well as documenting a good approach and “how to” for video creation. This post zooms out to cover the broader employee experience and how to align this to your AI…


  • 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,…
