Talks
For product and engineering orgs, leadership offsites, and mixed rooms. Live demos of real systems instead of slides, 30 to 45 minutes plus Q&A, tuned to the room.
Every talk is built from primary sources with named companies and hard numbers, and carries a handout with those sources. The material gets rebuilt as the space moves. A talk I gave in June is already different today.

99% Adoption and Still Stuck
You bought the licenses, adoption climbed, and nothing moved.
Your Annual Roadmap Is Already Dead
Any precision you add to a nine-month plan right now is false precision.
The New Org Chart
The PM, design, and engineering assembly line is collapsing into builders. The question is what you draw in its place.

The Product Development Factory
delivered live_
Orchestration and enablement were always product's real work. When execution gets cheap, they become the whole job.
Is Product Management Dead?
No. It's splitting, and about half of PMs are on the wrong side.
Sell Work, Not Software
You can't sell an agent. You sell the job done. And your app was never the moat.

You Don't Need to Know What an Agent Is
delivered live_
An agent is context plus tools. Everything else is plumbing.
Context Is the Company Brain
The highest-leverage AI investment isn't a tool. It's the context layer underneath every tool.
The Jagged Frontier
Effective AI use is a skill, not a tool. Everyone has the tool.
