#FlawedInnovation

I almost gave a keynote in cargo shorts because my “visionary energy” was too focused to remember pants. Three VCs stopped me in the elevator to ask about my failure-to-launch strategy. One intern asked if I could fail upwards into their agile pod specialization. The reality hit me over an oat milk cortado: everyone is obsessing over AI roadmaps. But you cannot roadmap a mindset any more than you can exe-cute culture. Your company doesn’t need an AI strategy. It needs to stop hiring strategists who wear blazers and start nurturing uncontainable, chaotic, creatively-optimized AI buy-in from the snack bar to the boardroom. #ThoughtLeadership #AICultureOverAIStrategy #UnlockCreativeChaos #FlawedInnovation #NextGenOps
