Today I had one of those conversations that stayed in my head afterwards. We were talking about rolling out AI in an organisation. Not the shiny demo version, not showing someone a new agent and getting the inevitable “wow”, but actually making AI work across an organisation. And at some point I realised how many … Meer lezen over The more AI we introduce, the more people we need around the table
Enterprise software stopped being sold by the person and here is where that goes next
For about thirty years, business software was bought like a gym membership. A fixed amount per employee per month. You knew the bill a year in advance and it made no difference whether someone used the software twice a day or never opened it. AI is not sold that way. It is sold like a … Meer lezen over Enterprise software stopped being sold by the person and here is where that goes next
AI didn’t just change my work. It changed me.
Lately I've been thinking about something I didn't expect to think about. Not whether AI will replace jobs, or whether companies should adopt it. I spend most of my week in those conversations already. This is something far more personal. I think AI has changed me. That sounds bigger than I mean it to, but … Meer lezen over AI didn’t just change my work. It changed me.
What happens when technology creates space?
We live in a world that moves faster every day. New technologies appear, roles change and the pressure to keep up seems endless. Yet, after years of working in AI and digital transformation, I have come to believe that the true value of technology is not speed. It is space. Space to think. Space to … Meer lezen over What happens when technology creates space?
The next skill after Prompting is Loop Engineering
I once paid an AI to be busy. Not productive. Busy. I gave Vera, my own research agent, a task and what I genuinely believed was an instruction. "Pull the market view, make it solid." She ran. And ran. Forty minutes of looking deeply employed, and at the end she handed me something confidently wrong, … Meer lezen over The next skill after Prompting is Loop Engineering
Turning Copilot Cowork on takes five minutes. Deciding to is the real work.
Copilot Cowork went generally available worldwide today. After three months in the Frontier preview, more than half of the Fortune 500 is already using it. The headlines are about the price. I want to talk about everything the price tag hides, because that is where the actual leadership work lives. Let me start with what … Meer lezen over Turning Copilot Cowork on takes five minutes.

The EQ Paradox
What Stays When Everything Else Fades I've been stacking books about the brain on my nightstand. Some of it is work. I lead AI transformation for a living, and you cannot do that honestly without understanding what happens in our heads when machines start thinking alongside us. Some of it is life. Someone I love … Meer lezen over The EQ Paradox
Two AIs. One Copilot. What happened when I ran them in parallel.
Microsoft 365 Copilot's new Model Council feature in Researcher lets you run GPT and Claude simultaneously on the same task. I tried it on a Thursday afternoon. Here's what I saw. It started as a small experiment. I’d heard about Model Council a new feature inside Microsoft 365 Copilot’s Researcher agent that lets you run … Meer lezen over Two AIs. One Copilot.

AI Coworkers are here. Europe isn’t ready for the conversation
There’s a sentence I hear a lot in conversations about AI and Copilot. “Don’t worry, your data stays in Europe.” It sounds reassuring. Safe. Almost like something you can check off and move on. But the reality is more nuanced, and honestly, that nuance is exactly where leadership begins. At the core of this conversation … Meer lezen over AI Coworkers are here.

Halleluja moment with Copilot Cowork
There are shifts in technology you can explain, and then there are shifts you experience before you have the words for them. This was the second kind. It started, like many things do, with something simple. I needed to build a presentation, not just slides, but a story, a narrative that flows, lands, convinces, the … Meer lezen over Halleluja moment with Copilot Cowork
