Elevating Thought: AI's True Strategic Power

The real leverage of AI isn't in faster emails, but in making you a superior strategic thinker. It transforms from a task assistant into an intellectual sparring partner.

Master the CRIT framework: Context, Role, Interview, Task. Instead of basic queries, define the problem, assign AI an expert persona (e.g., investment banker), have it interview you for deeper context, then task it with generating non-obvious strategies. This is how you move beyond surface-level answers to uncover true strategic insights.

Apply structured thinking – use AI to construct a 3-level mathematical driver tree for complex problems like increasing mortgage originations, clarifying levers and relationships. Focus on the 20% priorities that yield 80% of your results. This isn't about AI replacing you; it's about enhancing your ability to lead, challenge assumptions, and fortify competitive advantage.

If you're ready to deploy AI for genuine strategic advantage and measurable business impact, not just hype, let's connect. I'm always open to discussing advanced applications.
