@TheNavThethi @rfinney @UTexasMcCombs Great stuff as always from @rfinney

How do you lead when technology moves faster than your team can keep up? I sat down with @rfinney, Director of MIS at UT Austin @UTexasMcCombs, to decode the "Resilience Code."

It ought to be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. — Niccolo Machiavelli, "The Prince" 161-0:35:03

If you're in B2B Sales - Pull up a chair and listen. I didn’t close 70+ B2B clients at $50K a pop by thinking like a "closer" I was trained through these sales doctrines. This is the kind of book they only teach in Esoteric Sales Cults. The type that meet in Manhattan basements after 1:00AM. Below a 40% close rate? You quietly taken out back. If you want to unveil the secrets, close deals effortlessly and see results on day 1 You need the forbidden DaDD™ doctrine. Like + Comment "DADD" and I will risk my life sending this to you.

Most change efforts fail because they ignore the human side. @Walt74 of THG Advisors says that real transformation requires understanding behavior, culture and how people truly work together. Links below. #DisruptiveInnovation #Innovation #DisruptiveTech #DigitalBusiness

Strategy only works when leadership reaches every level. @Walt74 of THG Advisors shares why empowering frontline leaders with vision and clarity is essential to building culture and achieving results. Links below. #DisruptiveInnovation #DisruptiveTech #DigitalBusiness

#CIOChat Q3: This is where narrowly-focused agents can be the most powerful -- using agentic to drive thru and clarify boundaries (expected pattern fulfillment vs unexpected - subsets of accidental (fat fingering), or malicious). Token use/cost has to be accounted for but as those costs go down, we'll see more of this.

#CIOChat Q3: Detection + response only go so far now. How are CIOs designing feedback loops that let defenses improve in real time, like antibodies that get smarter after every encounter? What lessons from developing your own “immune responses” should peers know?

My take: Technical debt is a key part of the IT complexity spectrum, which is at all time high. Here is why the CIO has one the most challenging jobs ever created. My current list of top IT complexity challenges: •Technical debt •Application sprawl •Shadow IT •Legacy systems •Integration complexity •Data silos •API proliferation •Multi-cloud management •Vendor lock-in •Interoperability gaps •Configuration drift •Security vulnerabilities •Compliance requirements •Regulatory complexity •Licensing complexity •Tax implications •Depreciation schedules •Procurement cycles •Change management •Project portfolio overload •Skills gaps •Knowledge loss •Governance frameworks •Policy enforcement •Risk management •Disaster recovery readiness •Business continuity planning •Monitoring and observability gaps •Incident response complexity •Patch management •Version control sprawl •Documentation gaps •Architecture sprawl •Infrastructure fragmentation •Network complexity •End-of-life systems •Capacity planning challenges •Performance tuning overhead •Testing environment proliferation •Dependency chains •Service-level agreement complexity •Outsourcing/vendor management •Cultural and organizational silos •Decision-making bottlenecks •Innovation backlog •Budgetary constraints •Cost allocation disputes •Resource contention •Toolchain sprawl •Data governance •Privacy management •Access control complexity •Role-based access misalignment •Audit requirements •Asset management overhead •Environment replication •Backup complexity •Data residency requirements •Escalation paths •Third-party risk •Contractual obligations •Ethics and AI governance •Policy exceptions •Escrow agreements •IT tax planning •Maintenance contracts •Subscription management •Decommissioning complexity •Knowledge transfer gaps •Training requirements •User adoption friction •Workflow fragmentation •Organizational change fatigue •Interdepartmental dependencies •Business process misalignment

Football is back! Old Coach says, "You can be the hitter or the "hittee"...which one is it gonna be?" Off the field, you can be the mover or the "movee" - are you moving others or being moved? Action is the #1 counter to overthinking.

@alicia_dut62471 @cliftonaduncan Alicia, what are you doing differently?

@willia_mbrown YEs

I sold my company for Millions of Dollars. And Now I make $500,000/month online with 90% profit margins. I just made a NEW Training on How I'd make $10K/month ASAP if I had to start again from scratch. Want it? Like and Comment ’YES’, and I'll DM it now to the first 300 People!

@iruletheworldmo Looks like we’re going back to an economy of small businesses, craftsmen and away from ‘industrial jobs’ or manufacturing. We need to make a path for displaced folks to create their next incomes. #SBA

i’ll be incredibly conservative here. we’re maybe 10 years away from automating every manufacturing and warehouse job on earth (~530m), every driver and delivery role (~180m), most software and coding (~40m), and at least a quarter of white collar work (~350m). that’s over a billion people whose job functions are directly exposed to systems that already exist, just not yet deployed at scale. this isn’t sci-fi. it’s spreadsheets. it’s extrapolations. it’s watching code quality from frontier models improve week by week and noticing how little friction is left between “experimental” and “operational.” if you run the numbers, even with retraining, even with new sectors, even with optimistic assumptions — unemployment in the US, EU, and China probably climbs 2–4%. not a collapse, but a structural drag. a permanent overhang. most people still think we’re in the magic trick phase of AI. we’re not. we’re in the reallocation phase. and the real shock isn’t what AI will do. it’s how fast we’ll pretend it isn’t doing it.

@calebprints Volume

I have 50+ businesses each paying me $1,000+ per month THAT’S $50k+ MRR EVERY SINGLE MONTH All from one offer. One system. Just done over and over again. There are millions of local businesses. You don’t need a new strategy. You need volume. If you’re still trying to land one “perfect client” You’re thinking too small. If you want the exact offer I sell, comment “volume” MUST like + follow so I can send you the guide.

@sweatystartup This was the secret to Allen Iverson’s success at Nucor Steel -incentives were aligned so well, real teaming happened naturally and HR was done by self-regulating teams.

A massive area of growth for me over the last 12 months: Incentive compensation. From front line employees to management. If you crush your job, you won't earn more money anywhere else. It has changed everything for me and has accelerated the growth of my companies.

1/ For four decades, I’ve tracked + used higher-order abstractions to generate apps. From COBOL to Copilot, the dream’s always been the same: Let humans describe what they want, not how to do it. And most of the time, it sort of worked. Until it didn’t. Let’s talk history.🧵👇

@girdley Just saw a post for global gpt that might work for this- glbgpt.com/mobile

What is the best LLM to dump every digital thing I have (including email) into it? Then, ask questions about the stuff? Basically, I want the same thing McKinsey has for their knowledgebase AI thing.

@dhinchcliffe I would have to include some new areas of responsibility: Value Creation (Crawl, Walk, Run, Leap?) - emerging technologies; Sunset team: Replace old tech as new tech comes online. Process Miners - documented BPs across the org.

@ElonMuskAOC It’s almost like a Mary K edition.

I just ordered 10 rose gold Teslas. I will be giving all of these away to followers tonight at 8pm PST! Like and comment to be entered into the raffle!

@colingrowlancer PROCESS

Even as an engineer-turned-marketer who 'sucks at sales,' I closed $7,500/mo retainers with my 8-step system that pre-sells prospects before calls. Want my guide on landing pages, calendar setup, pre-call videos & more? Like & Comment "PROCESS" and I'll DM it to you. Make sure you're following.
