Everyone Chats with AI, Almost No One Can Build With It Jun 17, 2026 AI Proficiency level - 370,000 individual AI users in enterprises - Jun 2026 - © AI4SP McKinsey, the firm that Perfected the business slide deck, told the world its own consultants are sending fewer slides and building interactive apps instead. That is not a quirk of one firm. It is the leading edge of a shift most leaders have not noticed yet. We spent three years teaching people to chat with AI, and most companies never...

What Is Our Work Worth in Times of AI? Jun 3, 2026 AI does in ten minutes what used to take me ten hours, and nobody, not the firms, not the clients, not the regulators, has settled on what to charge for it. For a hundred years, the answer to what is your work worth was one word: time. The billable hour. The day rate. The retainer. That unit is breaking. It breaks in our oldest business — lawyers, accountants, consultants, designers and professional services in general — and in the youngest...

The Missing Chair at the AI Table May 20, 2026 OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google committed over $6 billion to rebuild the enterprise AI channel, in partnership with the world's leading private equity firms. Why is the money flowing to consultants instead of to software companies? Because Enterprise AI is a workforce transformation, and the channel built over 50 years to sell and deploy software licenses cannot deliver one. AI is a coworker, and seven of the eight factors that decide whether an AI...

Distributed AI: The Minutes No One Is Counting May 6, 2026 I haven't used traditional office software in over nine months. For thirty years, my work lived in documents and spreadsheets. I launched Office 97 in Latin America. Fourteen years later I co-founded what became Office in the cloud. So why did I stop? Because my AI agents now do those tasks for me. It started small. A five-minute saving here. Another task there. That is why AI initially looks invisible.. One five-minute saving feels...

AI Is Working. Your Strategy Is Not Apr 22, 2026 Picture this. You spent $100,000 licensing a new AI tool. You checked every box. And then... crickets. Nothing. I get that call every single week. And when it comes in, I don't ask about the tool. I don't ask about the rollout plan. I ask two questions. What is your company's reason for using AI? And do you actually know the reason your people are already using it? Because here's what most leaders miss. Your employees already have a reason. The...

The Worst AI You'll Ever Use (And We're Not Ready for a Better One) Apr 8, 2026 The AI you are using today is the worst AI you will ever use. And it's only the beginning. But the technology is not the bottleneck. We are. Over 70 million adults in the U.S. cannot reliably understand what they read. And before you think "that is not me," thirty years of point-and-click and social media have quietly eroded how all of us communicate. This issue is about the three human skills that determine...

AI Agents Doubled Your Company Size (And You Don't Know Who Works For You) Mar 25, 2026 Anthropic surveyed eighty thousand people across one hundred and fifty-nine countries. There are many inspiring stories, and this is one insight that stayed with me: 47% of freelancers and entrepreneurs report real economic gains from AI. But inside large organizations? Only 14%. And the employees succeeding inside corporations are the ones acting like freelancers, individuals and teams who stopped waiting...

From One Agent to 50,000: The Enterprise AI Adoption Journey Mar 11, 2026 Fifty thousand AI agents inside one organization. You hear that and picture a massive strategy, huge budgets, years of planning. But every enterprise we have studied traces it back to one person... and one agent. Not a boardroom decision. Not a vendor pitch. One curious employee who decided to try something different. The path from one to fifty thousand? It breaks every assumption about how organizations actually...

We’re Hiring More AI Agents Than People (And We Don’t Know How to Manage Them) Feb 25, 2026 McKinsey’s CEO just disclosed: 40,000 humans… and 25,000 AI agents, and he expects parity by year-end. EY is scaling to 100,000. Our own enterprise clients jumped from 4,000 to 6,000 agents in weeks. Everyone is scaling the digital workforce. Nobody has the management manual. In the podcast, we go deeper with real stories from the field and management principles that can solve AI implementation...
