Let us begin with a familiar scene. The annual strategy offsite. A three-year roadmap on the screen. Year one is detailed, year two is vague, year three is aspirational. Everyone nods. The meeting ends. Twelve months later, the same people gather to create another three-year plan that looks…
And How to Save It Let us begin with a difficult truth. That new pilot you are about to kick off, the one being championed internally as the next major leap in transformation, is more likely to stall than succeed. This will not be because of bad code, immature algorithms or even external market…
Introduction: Why Competence Matters More Than Curiosity The growing presence of generative AI tools like ChatGPT in the workplace has sparked a wave of experimentation. Business users are drafting emails, summarising documents, generating product ideas, and even scripting client communications,…
