Writing

What I keep coming back to, and where I have written about it. Longer pieces are on the way. For now these are the ideas I would defend in a room.

Things I believe

Adoption is a confidence problem

Almost every failed AI rollout I have seen was treated as a licensing or training problem. People do not avoid new tools because they cannot use them. They avoid them because being visibly bad at something in front of colleagues is unpleasant.

Programs die, systems persist

A workshop changes behavior for about two weeks. If the new way of working is not supported by something automated, the old way wins, because the old way requires no effort to remember.

Build the thing before you have an opinion about it

I cannot help a team adopt tools I have only read about. Building two products solo taught me more about what AI is actually good at than any amount of analysis would have.
