Morgan Beller - AI is Like Water. This insightful take on AI’s ubiquitous nature is essential reading. Join our 8/8 meeting to discuss how to make your AI product stand out, win customers, and lower operational costs. Hint: It’s not about the tech!
Think brand. Messaging. Marketing. GTM. Pricing. Customer service. You can’t graft all this on at the end anymore. You’ll need to develop a key insight about how you will be creating value for your end users in a way that no one else can. You’ll need to focus on the heartbeat and emotion of the people you’re building for.

Faster, Better, Cheaper: The AI Revolution in Business - Adapt or Die
I've witnessed firsthand the devastating consequences of failing to adapt in the face of transformative technology. Let me share a critical lesson from my career that's more relevant now than ever:
Years ago, I managed a mission-critical project designed to revolutionize a company's operations. Despite its game-changing potential, leadership shelved the initiative. Recognizing the existential threat this decision posed, I took extraordinary measures - dedicating a week to lobbying senior management, warning that without this transformation, we'd be unable to compete within five years.
My pleas fell on deaf ears and my heart was truly broken. The result? Precisely as predicted, the company ceased operations within that timeframe - a textbook example of how change resistance and myopic leadership can spell disaster.
Today, we stand at a similar inflection point with artificial intelligence. The parallels are striking and the stakes even higher. AI isn't merely another technological advance; it's a once-in-a-century paradigm shift that will redefine the business landscape.
To those decision-makers reading this: The initial investment in AI implementation - spanning people, technology, and processes - may seem daunting. However, the return on investment is nothing short of existential. It's not just about enhancing operations; it's about ensuring your company's continued relevance and viability.
The message is clear and urgent: Begin your AI transformation journey today. The alternative - obsolescence - is a price no business can afford to pay.
In this new era, the choice is stark: Evolve with AI or risk joining the ranks of once-great companies that failed to heed the winds of change. The clock is ticking. Will your organization rise to the challenge?
