SHOW NOTES:


WHERE ARE THE BIGGEST AI RISKS?

  • Significant changes from one industry era to the next (Internet to SaaS, Cloud to AI)
  • Once dominant position in a market now appears less dominant (Worth more than next 20 competitors; 7yr head start)
  • Guiding cultural principles well-known within the company - start adding more and more to them
  • Employee motivation driving by stock price as much as work activities
  • Culture evolves and erodes over time as the business changes and evolves - it’s nearly impossible to reset the company culture
  • Companies can rebound from being lost in the woods, but it’s very, very difficult
  • Death by 1000 cuts in a virtuous cycle - employees are constantly more worried about job status than project status - the perception of who gets to make mistakes and who is responsible for mistakes
