The brain optimizes for what gets measured. Speed and volume thinking applied to complex cognitive work produces exactly what you are currently calling an "adoption problem." It is not an adoption problem. New release: cbobriefing.substack.com/?r=1sm1o&utm_c…

The routine tasks you just handed to AI were also how your people built pattern recognition, learned from feedback loops, and developed judgment. You removed the training. You kept the test. New release: cbobriefing.substack.com/?r=1sm1o&utm_c…

Organizations are running a strange experiment right now. They automated the routine work. Good. They kept all the performance pressure. Bad. They expected complex thinking to follow automatically. Fatal assumption. New release: cbobriefing.substack.com/?r=1sm1o&utm_c…

5/ Who is responsible for designing that cohabitation correctly? That role does not yet formally exist. These publications are how it gets defined. Subscribe free: Nugget: cbonugget.substack.com Breifing: cbobriefing.substack.com

4/ The founding question: humans and AI are two different kinds of intelligence. When organizations design for that difference, the result is complementary. When they ignore it, they accelerate dysfunction.

3/ The CBO Briefing is the anchor. Once a quarter. 2,000 to 2,500 words. A full systems argument written for people who need to act on it, not read about it.

1/ Two publications. One free. One quarterly. Here is what changed and why. 2/ The CBO Nugget is now completely free. Every week: one behavioral idea, one real organizational situation, the mechanism underneath it, and what a structurally-minded leader would do differently.

Stop telling people tasks are "quick and easy." 🛑 "It only takes 5 minutes," actually says: "this is boring, so let’s get it over with." Kids hate running 5km, but they’ll happily run 10km if you give them a ball and a complex game. We don't want easy; we want to be challenged.
