I research broadly and daily — so my clients don't have to. Here's the evidence I find most actionable, with an honest read on what it means for leaders navigating AI adoption right now.
Key findings
What this means for you
Most organizations spend 90% of their AI investment on technology and 10% on people. BCG's data shows the return on investment is almost exactly the reverse. If your AI initiative is underperforming, check the budget allocation before the technology.
31% of knowledge workers admit to working against their company's AI initiatives. That's not a personality problem — it's a signal. Fear of Becoming Obsolete (FOBO) is real, and ignoring it creates the very resistance organizations are trying to avoid. Address the fear, and the resistance often dissolves.
Organizations that apply structured change and upskilling programs to AI adoption see 3–4× higher adoption rates. That gap isn't about the technology — it's entirely about how you manage the human side of the transition. Structure isn't bureaucracy. It's what makes the difference between a $10M investment and a $10M lesson.
Curated reading
I research broadly and daily so you can read selectively. These are the reports, articles, and frameworks I find most actionable — not just trending.
Let's talk about where you are, where you want to go, and how to get there — without the license graveyard, the resistant teams, or the change that never lands.
