Who’s Accountable when AI Agents Act “Agency isn’t a feature—it’s a transfer of decision rights,” says McKinsey Partner Rich Isenberg. “The question shifts from ‘Is the model accurate?’ to ‘Who’s accountable when the system acts?’” https://t.co/Lgqcxr3zq4 @McKinsey #AIGovernance

You can have a great product, team, plan, and pricing. But if you’re pursuing the wrong opportunity, none of it matters. Two questions define a great opportunity: Are there valuable underserved customers? Is there a tailwind? Strategy starts there. #BusinessStrategy #Entrepreneurship #StartupStrategy #Innovation #LeadershipDevelopment
Alex has been tracking the evidence on whether AI is showing up in the productivity stats. Seems like that may have actually started.
Having your coaching clients fill out spreadsheets in Google Sheets is wild when airtable exists where they can submit a form and we deal with the formula in the back end

#CIOChat Q4: Endgame: Modern CIOs are shifting from control to credibility: Transparency, shared roadmaps, product operating models, and visible tradeoffs. What current or new practices are working for you to build durable trust between IT and the business today? https://t.co/pO7J5Oaktf

#CIOChat Q2: Realities force tradeoffs. Product teams, business units, and leadership all expect priority. What governance, transparency, or portfolio practices have helped you keep stakeholders aligned when “everything” can’t be top priority? https://t.co/4w0YiIJOHF

#CIOChat Q1: Trust is the invisible operating system of IT. When stakeholders feel ignored, often due to massive backlogs and the reality that not every request can match their priority, where does the trust gap typically begin in your org?...
The rapid advancement in models and agentic tools in the past 30 days has silenced most AI bubble bears. The pace of spending is being matched by performance and productivity improvement showing the structural risk is not AI lacking value...

A report from the National Association of State CIOs outlines how states are beginning to explore ways to use agentic AI across state agencies in ways that could transform how government work gets done and how citizens interact with government. https://t.co/6cNwEmicvl...

The industry has confused adding digital features with true transformation. Having a mobile app and digital account opening doesn’t make you digitally mature. Real transformation changes culture, processes, and mindset. Download the free report now: https://t.co/gNGFxphUMy https://t.co/bz0SeOWTSW
Zach, I really appreciate the effort and the thinking you have done. But I am afraid I don't agree with the prescription. For starters, I don't argue that you should start at the upper left and go down. It is...
AWS and Azure both surging simultaneously. Oracle climbing. Elasticsearch tripled. It's not one cloud winning. It's ALL infrastructure growing as data demand outpaces capacity. The foundation layer is on fire.
🚫 “No-code AI agents” is not about skipping engineering. ✅ It’s about abstracting it. This visual captures a critical shift: AI agents are becoming products assembled from capabilities, not systems engineered from scratch. Here’s the executive breakdown 👇 1️⃣ Start...
I was talking with a designer at a large heritage organization recently. He's the only UX person on the team, and he's been struggling with something I see all the time: getting product owners and business analysts to see the...

Agentic AI Surges Into the Enterprise: Fortune 500 Lead the Charge “Microsoft has revealed a very significant figure: more than 80% of Fortune 500 companies have active AI agents built with low-code/no-code tools.” https://t.co/oDaL4iJN1G @Microsoft https://t.co/kq0HBnSaeO
I was chatting with someone this week who's stuck working through an intermediate. They've got a freelancer between them and the actual client, and decisions keep getting made without them in the room. I've been in this situation more times than...

At #MWC26 one theme stood out at the @Ericsson pavilion: Autonomous networks are no longer just about automation. They are becoming an economic strategy, where intent-driven architectures align network behavior directly with business KPIs. My latest analysis. https://t.co/eC7D8S6bFP #AI @MWCHub @GSMA
Here’s something I shouldn’t be sharing, but here it is. In this exclusive podcast, I reflect on my years of experience working with CEOs and boards around the world. I share an inside story on how businesses evolve, revealing lessons I’ve...

#TimTalk - Explain the upward trend between high curiosity & KPIs like job satisfaction & financial innovation? with Dr. Debra Clary https://t.co/z3MHEqIDr1 via @DLAIgnite #SocialSelling #DigitalSelling #Sales #SalesLeader #Leadership #Culture #Marketing #Success #Mindset #Entrepreneur #Management

If you see only problems, you’re not being rigorous—you’re being narrow. Every constraint contains information about leverage. Every bottleneck reveals where design failed. A problem-only lens distorts reality; it overweights friction and underweights optionality. Clarity means seeing both the obstacle...
It is amazing how many companies I talk to STILL have AI effectively blocked by IT & legal departments for out-of-date reasons when many companies in highly regulated industries have figured out ways to deploy enterprise ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini...

Heading to @nvidia #GTC. I’m looking beyond the headlines to what actually matters for enterprises: • AI infrastructure for production workloads • Model efficiency + cost economics • Agentic systems in real workflows • Governance, security, and risk • Customer deployments at scale AI is shifting...

AI is rewriting the rulebook for leadership. 🤖📈 @Gartner_inc reveals how CIOs must evolve as AI transforms the workplace. It’s time to move beyond the hype and use AI for real strategic planning and continuous improvement. Read more here: https://t.co/XDAHd3CquP #GartnerIT #CIO #AI...
If you can’t explain how to deliberately move a KPI, you don’t understand your growth. High acquisition doesn’t mean high value. The real question: Are you attracting customers you actually want? Curiosity about your data > more dashboards. #KPI #CLV #BusinessStrategy #MarketingStrategy #Leadership

Smart metrics don’t just measure performance, they shape behavior. If we’re deploying #AI across the enterprise, we need guardrails against metric gaming from day one. Governance isn’t a brake on innovation, it’s what makes transformation durable. Especially as agentic systems enter ops. https://t.co/r792RxQbTa...
A strategic roadmap for the post-quantum CIO | @CIOonline https://t.co/UgFtyYdqYb My take: Harvest now, decode later (HNDL) is one of the hardest threats for CIOs to prepare for. Because it’s entirely unclear how big an issue really is. But probably...

Transitioning AI from Code to Infrastructure Strategy - successful deployment of AI within Rail, Transport, Utilities & Asset Management is no longer a technical challenge to be solved in a vacuum. It's s a fundamental shift in operational strategy. https://t.co/LgBJKWUDA4
Had a tough conversation this week where I had to deliver some hard truths about a product launch. The metrics looked okay on the surface. But when we dug deeper, the conversion story wasn't adding up. It would have been easy to...

A UK court just ruled: security duties don't disappear even if hackers can't read what they stole. The breach itself is the violation. Meanwhile, GDPR surged 220% in a single day. Privacy isn't a checkbox anymore. It's becoming infrastructure. https://t.co/uNnssaoO6P

Every company wants the best AI stack. But few are asking the real question: To what end? If you automate everything and answer anything… what does your business actually stand for? AI without strategy is just noise. #AI #BusinessStrategy #Leadership #Innovation #TechStrategy
For years, telecom has talked about automation as a technical ambition. Closed loops. AI-driven optimization. Zero-touch operations. The language has been consistent, almost ritualistic. But what became clear at MWC26 was not just that automation was advancing, it was that...
