AI Business Trends & Strategy

I’ve spent the better part of the last three years sitting in conference rooms, on Zoom calls, and in innovation labs, watching companies wrestle with artificial intelligence. And honestly? The gap between what people think is happening with AI in business and what’s actually happening is wider than you’d expect. Let me walk you through what I’m seeing on […]

If you’ve been in the business world for more than a minute, you’ve seen the pattern. A new technology bursts onto the scene, usually accompanied by a mix of breathless evangelism and existential dread. We saw it with the internet, mobile, and blockchain. Now, we are in the thick of it with Artificial Intelligence. But […]

I’ve spent the better part of a decade helping companies navigate technology transitions, and I can tell you this much: implementing artificial intelligence isn’t like adopting previous technologies. It’s fundamentally different, and the businesses that understand this distinction are the ones pulling ahead. When I first started advising companies on AI adoption back in 2019, […]

Let’s be brutally honest for a second. The term “AI for business growth” has been so hyped, so relentlessly marketed, that it’s started to sound like a mystical incantation. Sprinkle some AI on your problems, and voilà, profits appear! Having spent the last several years in the trenches, helping companies from scrappy startups to established […]

I remember sitting in a boardroom five years ago, watching a mid-sized manufacturing company’s leadership team argue about whether they really needed to go digital.” The CFO kept asking about ROI projections. The operations director worried about disrupting workflows that had worked for decades. The CEO just wanted to know how their competitors were pulling […]

Walking through the headquarters of any major corporation today feels fundamentally different from it did just five years ago. The buzz isn’t just about quarterly earnings or market expansion anymore; it’s about machine learning models, predictive analytics, and automated workflows. After spending nearly a decade consulting with businesses on technology adoption, I’ve witnessed firsthand how […]

A few years ago, AI was the shiny new toy every startup slapped “AI-powered” on their pitch deck, investors threw money at anything with a neural network, and consultants promised revolution overnight. Fast forward to 2026, and the landscape has shifted. The hype has settled, the failures have been documented, and the real, profitable AI business opportunities […]

I’ve been knee-deep in the AI world since 2012, back when most people still thought “neural network” was something that only happened inside brains, not servers. I’ve founded one startup that got acquired, consulted for three others that raised nine-figure rounds, and watched dozens more either rocket to unicorn status or quietly bleed out in […]

Over the past eight years, I’ve worked alongside startups, mid‑size firms, and Fortune 500 giants as they navigate the whirlwind of digital transformation. Nothing has generated more buzz, hope, and occasional anxiety than artificial intelligence (AI). It’s no longer a futuristic concept confined to sci‑fi novels; it’s reshaping boardrooms, factories, customer service desks, and marketing departments […]

A few years ago, I sat in a boardroom with a Fortune 500 executive who had just greenlit a seven-figure AI transformation project. His team had promised him a 30% efficiency boost, predictive analytics that would “eliminate guesswork,” and a customer experience so personalized it would feel like magic. Fast forward 18 months, and the […]
