  • Major forces shaping the future of work

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…

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…

  • 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…

  • 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,…

  • 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.

  • Generative AI is here but enterprise adoption is not – here are your strategy choices

    At a time of change or inflection such as I believe we are in, it’s important to recognise how you respond. I don’t mean the regular type of change, as constant and accelerated as it has been over the last few decades. I mean the groundbreaking type. You have to be able to recognise change…

  • The ways and means of technology adoption and strategy

    Last week I wrote about Microsoft’s Viva [employee experience platform] supporting adoption of it’s new AI technology Copilot which is embedded in the Microsft 365 productivity suite (disclosure). This week I wanted to contextualise things a little. Other than just supporting adoption of a new technology like Copilot, Microsoft Viva has to be considered much…

  • Microsoft Viva supporting adoption of M365 Copilot

    As I work on both technologies with customers (disclosure) I wanted to share how I am going about supporting Microsoft 365 Copilot customers with Microsoft Viva technologies, especially with adoption activities.
