#TimTalk - The gap between 'fast' & 'slow' companies is widening by 3.5x every 6 months, why the 5-year roadmap is now officially a liability with Anuj Pandey https://t.co/HPDnt6CVLX @DLAIgnite #SocialSelling #DigitalSelling #Leadership #ArtificialIntelligence #AgenticAI #AI #FutureOfWork #Strategy
The corporate advisory boards that I have been a part of have almost exclusively been “vibe checks”, where presentations are made about work the company is doing, and the advisory panel chats about things for a while. This seems like a...
Bad news for a client or hit a snag with a project? Here's how to navigate: Review things. Make notes. Bring three solutions. Pick up the phone. Start with a quick connection point, then walk through the situation and the options. Why this...
OpenAI is reportedly restructuring its Stargate computing team, coming alongside a shift in strategy to renting more AI servers rather than building its own data centers https://t.co/GcaUtwhISO #ArtificialIntelligence #Innovation #Technology #Tech #TechNews https://t.co/lt4ueogRAC
The Velocity of Innovation vs. The Stability of Infrastructure. How do you build a resilient operational strategy when the tools you are using today may be obsolete before the concrete on your new substation has even cured? https://t.co/zmD7jlWWhW
Strategy often fails at the boundary between numbers and judgment. Lean too heavily on qualitative views and you drift into narratives that feel right but prove little. Lean too heavily on data and you risk mistaking measurement for understanding. The...
Outsourcing control of ERP and digital transformation projects to third parties is a common cause of failure. Relying solely on vendors or system integrators means external experts decide your business's future. #ERP #DigitalTransformation #ProjectManagement https://t.co/7xAT4Ngc07
AI: good or bad? Practical answer: embrace use cases, verify results and pilot with control. Contact LMA Consulting Group to build an AI roadmap tied to execution. #AI #ChatGPT #SupplyChain https://t.co/aaGnm03Hlt
I am not sure "Forward Deployed AI Engineers" are going to deliver on what a lot of companies are hoping for. They are useful, yes, but AI applications are far less of a technical issue, and much more about rethinking...
$ACN Q2 FY2026 drops Thursday before the bell. Consensus is $2.87 EPS on ~$17.8B revenue. Last quarter, Accenture beat by $0.21 on EPS with $18.74B in revenue, $2.2B in Advanced AI bookings, and $1.1B in Advanced AI revenue. Stock is...
Successful human-AI collaboration requires thinking through the processes to be reshaped or redirected. Here's a seven-phase process to do that. (My latest in Forbes) via @forbes https://t.co/WZaEj1X3ag

Some days the business runs itself. Other days, the decisions that matter feel bigger than one person can handle. You’ve built this. You know what works. Now let’s make the moves that keep it growing and keep your clients noticing the difference. I have...
Question for your next meeting: "If our competitors deployed AI agents into our core workflows tomorrow, would we know? And would we have a response ready?" The agent economy moved from PowerPoint to production this week.
Scaled disruption begins when challengers set the tempo of a category. Since growth now rewards digital fluency and rapid iteration, incumbents must rethink operating models, not just rebalance portfolios. Source @McKinsey Link https://t.co/mUXoT9cj6K via @antgrasso #CEO https://t.co/XqYGVPFFnC
“Consultants & software cos. preach about #ProcessExcellence. But most business processes don’t need to be ‘excellent.’ All that’s required is understanding & effectiveness in process thinking—and *a big dose* of common sense.” https://t.co/ylz4kVYcuu #BPM #processimprovement

#CIOChat Q1: Algorithmic management used to mean gig platforms scheduling IT contractors. Now it’s everywhere: Collaboration tools assigning work, ticketing systems routing tasks, AI copilots triaging requests. Where are algorithms already managing work in your org today? https://t.co/Vt7ZVWHoh5
I've noticed something about the organizations that tend to bring me in for optimization and strategy work. They're almost always in some state of chaos. Restructures still working their way through the system. New leadership with new priorities. Strategic pivots that...
The biggest plays in #hockey don’t always happen on the ice. In the National Hockey League (@NHL), front offices make thousands of decisions involving contracts, trades, and salary cap strategy—often under intense time pressure. On the latest episode of the SAP Better...
Most strategies fail before execution. They fail when the bet is made. While in Paraguay preparing to speak on strategy, I reflected on a conversation with Brett Hickey of Star Mountain Capital about why scale exposes weak assumptions and how...
I was in a discovery call this week with a large charity that's got two fundraising products in decline. Both showing appetite from users, but conversion rates are dropping. One product launched strong a few years back but has been falling...

Why Agentic AI Demands a New Architecture “Bain's latest AI readiness survey finds that 80% of generative AI use cases met or exceeded expectations, yet only 23% of companies can tie initiatives to measurable revenue gains or cost reductions. The gap...
Companies often have strategy slides. But when real decisions happen, people still ask: “What does strategy mean here?” On March 17 at 10 AM ET I’m joining Adam Zales of Amplify to discuss how strategy leaders translate strategy into action. #Strategy #Innovation #Leadership #CorporateStrategy...
Executives: AI is great, and will serve nicely as co-workers to humans. Workers: Okay, but please tell us how this will work. Accenture research finds a yawning gap between executives’ plans for AI, and employee readiness. via @forbes https://t.co/ryb4hnwrws
The "how does AI improve individual productivity" discussion is much less interesting than "how does AI improve organizational efficiency?" We have a lot of answers to the former, but it will always get eaten by the latter if we don't...
Buying more AI tools won’t fix broken workflows. Cisco found 75% of project management tasks are identical across departments. Most companies redesign in silos and duplicate the effort. Map the work first. Redesign second. Deploy tools third. https://t.co/n8xR4tuo7g
AI doesn’t replace hard work. It replaces: • friction • repetition • bad process design Tool lists don’t create leverage. Workflow redesign does. https://t.co/vA5qiq9PJH

Michael Porter's productivity frontier concept is playing out in real-time. We have 1-2 years where the frontier is getting pushed out by AI before it settles. We get to decide: wait for best practices to emerge, or engage in rebuilding?...
Is this how to prepare for an agentic AI driven future? “Organizations that succeed in the agentic AI era will earn autonomy through visibility, clear policy boundaries and the ability to audit and override decisions when necessary.” https://t.co/dTtFlFp2Cy #AIGovernance #AIAgents
AI agents will soon be the biggest users of software in the world. And hardware as well. Why? They scale. Humans don’t.
Two identical companies. One difference: Your CAC = $1 My CAC = $2 We both spend $2 on marketing. You acquire 2 customers. I acquire 1. Over time, you dominate the market. CAC isn’t just a metric. It’s a strategic advantage. #CAC #CustomerAcquisition #BusinessStrategy #GrowthStrategy #Marketing

1/ It’s a watershed moment for enterprise IT. For the 1st time, we’re seeing major public cloud infra in the Middle East physically damaged by war, not just cyberattacks or power events. Two AWS data centers in the UAE were directly struck...
I was talking with Orlando Oliveira about AI and where it fits into design work. I've been using a simple framework to decide what to delegate to AI and what to keep for myself. Mundane thinking versus strategic thinking. Mundane thinking is...
Sometimes the breakthrough doesn’t come from working harder, it comes from building the right operational foundation.
