The new knowledge managers are consultants, not librarians
The days of manually curating and organising company knowledge will soon be behind us. Knowledge managers can’t operate as librarians anymore. They must, instead, elevate their AI literacy, implement an AI-first KM stack and deploy themselves as consultants to implement knowledge-enabled workflows.
On precise imperfections
In the age of AI-generated outputs, there’s still room for the glorious unpredictability of being human.

If AI-first knowledge work benefits from a new way of organising, is an RTO-mindset a limiting factor for succeeding in the AI age?
AI, async, and the end of bloated teams
The AI-first software development revolution will also change how we collaborate. I argue that async-first collaboration is the perfect companion to AI-first development.
The limits of AI in 2025
Fresh off a snow leopard expedition, I reflect on the accelerating power—and persistent limits—of artificial intelligence.
These three dysfunctions will stall your AI transformation
AI transformation isn’t only about building or buying new systems. New technology often faces systemic inanities in legacy organisations.

AI revolution at work? We're waiting!
Consumer AI is outpacing enterprise AI tools. The bigger the chasm between these experiences gets, the greater the security and engagements risks for employers.
