Start Here: Why Your AI Efforts Aren't Scaling
Hyperadaptive Intelligence is for leaders navigating the frontier of AI adoption, where pilots succeed, tools proliferate, and progress still stalls. I write about the human systems AI puts under stress: organizational design, decision-making, governance, learning, and change. This is not a newsletter about tools or hype. It’s a thinking space for people responsible for making AI actually work inside real organizations.
What you’ll find here
One weekly essay unpacking a real friction point in enterprise AI adoption
Short notes during the week as I pressure-test ideas in public
Early thinking from my upcoming book, Hyperadaptive, where I’m exploring what it really takes for organizations to become AI-native
The throughline is simple: technology changes fast. Human systems change slowly. The gap between the two is where most AI efforts get stuck.
Who this is for (and who it’s not)
This newsletter is for:
Leaders and change agents responsible for scaling AI beyond pilots
Transformation, operations, and functional leaders feeling the drag of random acts of AI, lack of organizational results, and people not leaning into AI
People who sense that the bottleneck is the organization
This is not for:
Daily AI news or product reviews
Prompt libraries or tactical hacks
Optimizing one team in isolation without regard for the system around it
If you’re looking for quick wins, this may feel slow. If you’re trying to build durable capability, you’re in the right place.
Why I’m writing this
I’ve spent the last 25+ years working at the intersection of marketing, Agile, and organizational change, helping enterprises adapt to major shifts in how work gets done. Two years ago, I pivoted to researching AI and the implications of organizational change. AI is the forcing function to achieve a new type of organization. We’ll explore it here.
What I’m seeing again and again is this:
AI doesn’t fail because leaders lack ambition or intelligence. It fails because our organizations weren’t designed for the way learning, decisio
n-making, and collaboration now need to work.
This newsletter is where I make sense of that in real time.
