AInsights: AI will be Smarter Than Humans before 2030, So What?
AInsights: Executive-level insights on the latest in generative AI… As a keynote speaker, I engage with executives in every industry at varying levels of technological maturity and curiosity. Several years ago, I would ask audiences, “how many of you believe that AI will take jobs?” Almost every hand would go up.

Megginson Transformation becomes the minimum ante to surviving evolution. At some point though, we have to stop reacting…

Let me explain… Every company faces two opportunities forward. And a balance of the two requires investment and care to grow and thrive in a future that doesn’t stand still. 1) Iteration: Embracing the new to improve, enhance, augment, optimize, and scale what we do really well.

The Brave New World of Digital, Business, and Leadership Transformation and the Part You Play in It All
I was moved by an inspiring piece about finding hope in a time of disruption and uncertainty. It was written by my friend Andrew Penn, CEO of Telstra. Though it was published this time last year, I found it relevant now. Penn observed that in these times of a great reset, it’s only human to lose hope. It’s true seemingly everywhere. Just looking at Twitter right now, it feels like the special place I once described as a human seismograph has…
