Natural + Artificial Intelligence

Most executive AI strategies are built on a dangerous illusion. The illusion of participation. You run pilots. You fund experiments. You brief the board on "your AI journey." You feel you are in the game. You are confusing activity with progress. I see this every day. Confident leaders sliding to...

#008 - Meaning is the New Metric.

Your IQ of 150 meant something once. So did your MBA. Your flawless execution. Your strategic mind. But AI models now score higher on intelligence tests than most humans. They've graduated from every discipline you've mastered. What now? The End of Performance. AI crushes the tasks you once to...

#007 - The Year You Started Cloning Yourself.

The conversation around AI in the executive suite has become predictable, and frankly, a little boring. We're told AI is a hyper-efficient assistant that can summarize meetings, clear our inboxes, and draft emails. These are fine, but they are tactical efficiencies. It's using a supercomputer to ...

#006 - Are you ready for AGI, Winnetou?

It was 1885. London was a shitty place. Literally. Horses ran the city. Within a decade, the capital city relied on roughly 300,000 of them to move people and goods. Then things started to change. Benz filed his patent in 1886. Daimler and Maybach fitted engines to almost everything on wheels. Pe...

The deck is sharp, the meetings are smooth, but the results… thin. Easy to blame company culture, headq...

#004 - Writing is thinking. Even with AI.

Reading is fuel. Writing is motion. But what happens when AI does part of that writing? 74% of new web content involves AI (Study by Ahrefs, May 2025). Are we still creators, or prompt operators? I wrestled with that question for weeks. Let's get practical. Do you call a sculptor a fraud for u...

#003 - From Noise to North Star.

Forty-four percent of C-suite executives say they'd override a decision they'd already planned to make if AI suggested otherwise (SAP research, 2025). I'm not ready to hand strategy to a model—and you shouldn't be either. I also wouldn't outsource this to a management consulting firm—you negoti...

#002 - AI Strategy Should Be Like a Walk.

Your AI strategy isn't a sprint. It's not a marathon either. Sprinters burn out in the first hundred meters. Marathon planners get lost in endless preparation, then watch their perfect plan crumble when reality hits. Sound familiar? After 25 years of building AI strategies for Fortune 500 banks...
