This isn’t the first time you’ve heard of, or read about, AI. Its implications for virtually every sector are completely rewriting the script. Companies are investing in AI and implementing it day-to-day. We are at the same pivotal point with the Internet in the late 21st century. It’s an uncertain time. Will this replace jobs? Will work be replaced with computers? Done right, AI is not automation. It is augmentation. In the book Mindshift, author Brian Solis observes that most…

AI’s Next Frontier Isn’t Intelligence, It’s Trust
Maybe people aren’t rejecting AI as much as they’re rejecting a future that’s being imposed on them. When students boo the mention of AI at commencement speeches, it’s a signal of a societal undercurrent quietly, and eventually, loudly, pushing back against a perceived threat. And it’s not the technology that’s a threat as much as how AI, or at least the AI narrative, is wielded by doomer CEOs of frontier AI companies (AI will take jobs!) and the decisions executives…
AI Darwinism Is Here, Now Leadership Must Evolve Next
AI Darwinism isn’t coming. It’s here. The evolution has already begun inside every organization where employees are experimenting faster than leadership is redesigning the systems around them. Microsoft’s 2026 Work Trend Index Annual Report makes the gap clear: AI is expanding human agency, but many organizations are not yet built to capture it. That’s the real challenge now. Leadership. The companies that win this next era will be the ones brave enough to reimagine work, empower curiosity, create psychological safety,…
The Wharton Blueprint for AI Agent Adoption Features Insights from ServiceNow’s Brian Solis
ServiceNow’s Head of Global Innovation Brian Solis was included in The Wharton Blueprint for AI Agent Adoption, a new report from Wharton Human-AI Research and Science Says that explores one of the most important questions facing every leader right now: why, if AI agents are becoming so capable, aren’t more people ready to use them for real work? The report argues that AI agent adoption is moving from a technology challenge to a psychological one. People may be willing to…
Are We Inventing Tomorrow or Optimizing Yesterday? Guy Kawasaki and I unpack the tension at the center of AI, innovation, and leadership today
What a gift to spend time with an old friend (meaning we’ve been friends for a long time. He’s not old!) My latest conversation with Guy Kawasaki on his show, Remarkable People, reminded me that the future is never just a technology story. It is a human one. AI may change how we work, compete, and create, but it also exposes something deeper: whether we are using new tools to do yesterday more efficiently, or to imagine something genuinely better….

Brian Solis: De industrie geeft de toekomst van AI een verkeerd beeld
Credit Volgens Brian Solis wordt de toekomst van AI momenteel verkeerd geframed door headlines, algoritmes en invloedrijke stemmen binnen de industrie. Hij stelt dat we ons midden in een van de belangrijkste technological verschuivingen ooit bevinden, maar dat het publieke debat daarover intellectueel misleidend is geworden. Zoals hij zelf scherp verwoordt: “AI’s biggest challenge right now is not only technical. It is narrative.” Aan de jan kant domineren utopische beloftes, aan de andere kant doemscenario’s over massale werkloosheid en economische…
AI Doesn’t Take Jobs, It Creates Them: Jensen Huang’s Reality Check for the AI Alarmists and Doom-Sayers
Right now, AI narratives seem to be propagating an ROI of return on ignorance instead of a more productive ROI, “return on intelligence.” Enterprise leaders are currently navigating a critical transition toward AI-native operating models, yet AI adoption is stalling due to a fundamentally flawed narrative. Instead of focusing on strategic growth, the leadership conversation is paralyzed by speculative doomsday prophecies, a paralyzing fear of change, and a narrow focus on task automation for cost-cutting. This alarmist approach to the…
