Fast isn’t always the goal

Ok. I’m

’s one hit wonder. I’m beavis to his butthead.

I had a post that went crazy in here about two months ago: I got a verbal agreement to start an ai transformation. ‘Good news!”

Well in the meantime the CFO switched, new employees entered to scene…the allocation of resources became stricter. People went on vacations. I learned a greater depth to how this company needs to pass fees through to entities.

It got complicated. Slower. More …who knows…maybe?

Well…I signed the agreement with them today. 6mos. Same project I pitched for 3mos but at a slower financial drip for company. A few caveats that weren’t AI related that I’m happy to get as designer…

All based around -what does the company I bill…bill this to and measure it against?

General AI world communicates and pitches more like, “GAH’ I built a spaceplane and went to andromeda today and yesterday I was just making nachos! “

I’m being extreme to make a point. But, the insight is that decisions and agreements take mutual comprehension and clarity of vision AND performances from many different parties with different perspectives. Yes ‘outcomes’, but it’s a gamble. ‘Potential outcomes’

You have to de-risk your bet—-while you keep studying the table.

AI news and marketing mostly is whizbang fomo nonsense. The work and success is in mutual agreements and buy-in. AI is just a tool. The work is finding problems and spending the time with all the parties to create buy-in on solutions.

Is a camel a horse by group-design? Yes—- but if everyone wants to live maybe it’s the better animal.

Anywho. Get buy in. Listen. Adjust. Listen. Adjust. Listen. Adjust.
