Does this sound familiar? You're in a leadership meeting and someone asks, "What's our AI strategy?" or "How should we be using ChatGPT?" If you've been in one of these conversations lately, you've probably felt the pressure to have an answer. But here's the thing, you might be asking the wrong question entirely. This week, we're diving into insights from tech humanist Kate O'Neill on why chasing technology trends is letting the tail wag the dog, and what successful leaders do instead. The core insight? You don't need an "AI strategy." You need to understand how AI helps you achieve the strategic objectives you've already identified. ✅ You'll learn why starting with purpose (not technology) transforms decision-making✅ We'll explore the Disney example that makes organizational alignment crystal clear✅ We'll share how to have productive AI conversations at three different levels Kate shares real insights from her work with companies like Netflix, Google, and the United Nations, plus simple ways managers and teams can rethink how they approach change, technology, and decision-making. If you're tired of scattered (AI) initiatives that don't seem to connect to anything meaningful, then this episode will help you have a clear strategy and a team that's aligned.
