How to become a Level 4 self-driving organization

Excellent piece by Bud Caddell from NOBL Collective - a great roadmap for AI adoption. Also follows the general stages of learning and development (will post in comment below). From initial experiments to building capability. Just like any process or business develops, and even our society - although it is rarely a linear process. "All models are wrong, but some are useful." - George Box

💡 The real “why” behind AI adoption isn’t hype—it’s about solving real business problems. In financial services, the pressure to “do something with AI” can lead to bolt-on tools that overpromise and underdeliver. But when done right, AI can transform how lenders scale, retain, and grow. As our Chief Product Officer, Pete Karns, explains, the smartest lenders start with one question: 👉 What business problem are we solving? AI built for financial services proves its worth by automating outreach, prioritizing opportunities, and empowering humans to close the loop.

Companies with embedded AI governance are 3x more likely to reach ROI in a year. So why is almost no one doing it? We’ve all heard “move fast and break things.” But when it comes to AI, what breaks first is trust. Governance isn’t bureaucracy, it’s how you make AI scale responsibly. And the companies that understand that are alreadwpulling ahead. In our latest vlog, Daniela Buján shares what we’re learning from helping teams make AI innovation actually sustainable. Watch it now and let us know what you think!

I’m revisiting some of the books in my office. While The Agility Shift by Pamela Meyer was published in 2015, its message feels built for this AI-driven moment. Meyer’s 3 Cs—Competence, Capacity, Confidence—and her idea of the Relational Web remind us that agility isn’t a process; it’s how people connect and adapt when things change. Here's how I think this applies to the use of AI in the workplace: 1. Build competence to think with AI, not fear it. 2. Create capacity for experimentation, not just efficiency. 3. Grow confidence through practice and shared learning. Agile leadership sees disruption as data, not danger. #AgileLeadership #AI #FutureOfWork #ChangeLeadership #LearningCulture

Everyone’s building AI pilots – but very few are scaling them successfully. The difference isn’t better tech or smarter people. It’s a better Operating Model. So what does that look like?   This week, I’m collaborating with Tobias Zwingmann, Managing Partner at RAPYD.AI and author of “The Profitable AI Advantage.” Tobias is a leading voice in applied and profitable AI, helping companies turn data and machine learning into measurable business outcomes.   Super excited to co-author a newsletter together.   Together, we’ll share the 3 Operating Models that enable organizations to scale AI profitably, and the 1 model most companies should start with.   To get this article into your inbox and more insights, sign up for my newsletter: https://lnkd.in/eiv5a3tT

⚡ Something big is about to shift in how we work with AI. And here’s the twist: it’s not just about the tools—it’s about the thinking behind them. 💡 Imagine this: in just 5 days, casual AI users can transform into Prompt Architects—people who know how to unlock AI’s full potential through the right strategies, questions, and workflows. We’re getting ready to reveal how. 🚀 Stay tuned—it’s closer than you think. #FutureOfWork #AItraining #PromptEngineering #Upskilling #PrometheusAI #AIadoption #WorkforceDevelopment #DigitalTransformation

🌐 "The most dangerous phrase in business is 'we've always done it this way'" - Grace Hopper's warning from 1976 feels eerily relevant to AI adoption today. What fascinates me is how companies approaching AI with genuine curiosity are seeing 3-5x higher ROI than those treating it as just another IT project. The difference isn't in the technology - it's in the willingness to fundamentally rethink workflows rather than simply digitising old processes. If you'd like to know more, send me a DM.

📊 By 2025, more than 60% of CTOs will place AI integration at the core of their strategy. Yet the true challenge goes beyond experimentation, it’s about scaling AI across the business. This is where AI agents change the equation. They don’t just automate, they enable organizations to adapt, scale, and create measurable impact across every critical function. 🚀 The future of enterprise AI isn’t about pilots. It’s about building systems that deliver enduring value at scale. #VenonAI #ScalableAI #AIinBusiness #FutureOfWork

AI transformation isn’t about buying tools. It’s about designing the work so humans and machines create value together. See how SysCAP helps organisations embed AI where it really matters — in the design of the work itself.
