Founders. Try this. When pitching an investor, start with your Problem that you are solving. Then pause and ask “Are you interested in solving this problem?” This will likely tell you whether you need to keep going or not. As a founder, you are a rebellion leader. You don’t have time to convince people of your mission. You need to use that time to find the believers.

In my book “Creating the Intangible Enterprise” I tackle the common misconception that AI will simply replace human workers. The reality is more nuanced. Spreadsheets didn't make accountants obsolete. AI presents an opportunity to leverage our creative and strategic capabilities. The real opportunity lies in developing the critical thinking, leadership, and communication skills that will be indispensable in an AI-powered workplace. And now, I'm excited to announce that “Creating the Intangible Enterprise” is available in audiobook format — with a twist! Given the book's focus on the integration of human and machine intelligence, using AI as the narrator was an obvious choice. It's a fitting representation of the message at the heart of the book: the future belongs to those who can harness the strengths of both.

Last week we held our Q4 Executive Briefing hosted by KP Reddy, in partnership with Schneider Electric. The event saw executives from around the industry getting together to discuss challenges, opportunities and innovation around key sustainability topics. We heard from owners, construction managers, engineers and technologists who brought their knowledge to the table. We can't thank our attendees, speakers and Schneider Electric enough for what was an impactful and fantastic couple days together in Miami. We're looking forward to getting together again for our 2025 Executive Briefings. If you're interested in attending our future invite-only events, see https://buff.ly/3ZaurrZ.
