Change Your Future

Technology changes are hard. Human changes are even harder. Beginning with ourselves. My default habit was to search, even though the world was changing.

Words Matter

In an age where our AIs now know millions of word fragments across multiple languages – more than your mind can ever hold – my advice is to… Relax. Don’t stress.

Avoiding Decisions

Have you ever noticed how strategy conversations often remain stuck in abstract terms? What at first sounds like strategic big-picture thinking, can rapidly become subconscious decision-making avoidance.

Backcasting

Will you make it to the end of this post? Possibly. Possibly not. In uncertain times, scenario planning is a critical aspect of strategy development.

Summarise Intelligently

Have you ever clicked to confirm you’ve read the full terms and conditions… without actually reading them?! In other words, are you human?

Strategically Tactical

I imagine this isn’t the first time you’ve heard of planning a strategy day. What about a tactical hour? It’s common to admire leaders for being strategic. While it’s rare to aspire to be known as a tactical leader.

New Horsepower

Which is the more common profession – blacksmith or tyre technician? Without even looking at the data or asking your AI research agent for guidance, I suspect you already know the answer.

Disappearing Jobs

How likely is your job to disappear? The numbers are in – but the truth may be very different than your job’s result suggests.

Your AI Co‑worker

Who’s reading this email first – you or your AI co-worker? If your answer is yourself, quite likely that’s not the case. Your hard‑working AI colleagues have already done their job.

High-Performance Thinking

It’s all too easy to get overwhelmed by the fast pace of change. Until you shift your perspective and realise that fast change happens slowly.

Changing Change

People don’t like change. Or so it’s often said. In a way that implies this is an indisputable fact. Often said by people trying to preserve the status quo. I can prove that the reverse is true.

Greater Capabilities

AI makes mistakes. People make mistakes. Are we really that different? Yes. We. Are. The way we think and reason is fundamentally different.
