Writer. Editor.
Advisor.
AI Strategist.
I help leaders navigate the nexus of artificial intelligence, organizational learning, and strategic change.
Whether you’re building an AI strategy, writing a book, or transforming your workplace, I bring 35 years of experience and a visionary, pragmatic, perspective.
I know the challenges facing leaders today — and why efforts to address them go wrong.
The higher you rise, the harder it is to see what’s going on.
Everyone tells you to transcend your limits, but they don’t transcend theirs.
Technology makes us all-powerful—but it doesn’t work as promised.
We can create a strategy that develops your ability to build the organization you need.
Thought Leaders
You have ideas that matter. I help you develop them into books, articles, Substack series, and talks that reach the audiences they deserve. As editor-in-chief of strategy+business and editorial director of the Fifth Discipline Fieldbooks, plus in consultation for many popular business books, I’ve helped hundreds of leaders find their voice.
AI Leaders
AI can augment your team’s judgment—or erode it. It can build trust or destroy your reputation. I help you develop your “inner game of AI:” the habits, practices, and governance to turn a technology investment into a capability-driven asset. I’m a certified EU AI Act auditor and coauthor of The AI Dilemma: 7 Principles for Responsible Technology.
Change Leaders
I spent 35 years studying humanity’s original AI: the business corporation. Drawing on the insights of organizational learning, the neuroscience of leadership, scenario planning, human-AI symbiosis, and stakeholder-centered coaching, I help leaders see the system they’re part of and change it.
