The Blueprint Your Team Can Actually Follow
Why a shared mental model is key to AI success.
There is no shortage of AI opinions right now. Every newsletter has a take, every vendor has a pitch, every leadership offsite generates a fresh list of things to try. What most teams are short on is a research-backed blueprint, a structure that tells them not just what’s possible but what to do first, second, and third.
That’s what I set out to give in Hyperadaptive. The five stages are a sequence with nine dimensions that evolve in each stage, ranging from funding to organizational structure:
Foundation,
Process Optimization,
Agents and Automations
Rewiring the Organization
Becoming Hyperadaptive
You don’t leap to the end. You build to it, and knowing which stage you’re on tells you which work actually matters next.
Moderna is the example I come back to. They set an AI North Star that sounded unreasonable, 15 new drugs to market in 5 years, and reached nearly 100 percent generative-AI adoption in about six months. That didn’t happen because someone told people to use AI more. It happened because they had a direction clear enough that thousands of individual choices could line up behind it. A blueprint does the same thing at the level of a single team.
The blueprint works best when everyone is reading from it. It becomes a shared mental model. A roadmap in one leader’s head is not a roadmap the organization can follow.
