PM students worried AI will take your job: it will take the parts you probably didn't love anyway. What's left is the human part. Getting people aligned. Owning outcomes. Telling a sponsor what they don't want to hear. More on that Oct 30th at BU. Join me! #PMiP2026

AI can build your schedule, write your status report and update your risk log. It still can’t get three VPs to agree on what “done” means. That’s the job now. I’m talking about it Oct 30th at BU’s Project Management in Practice conference. Join me! sites.bu.edu/pmconference

Most AI rollouts don't fail because of the tech. They fail because employees never trusted it enough to keep using it past week one. New piece on the 90-day drop-off we keep seeing with clients, and what actually holds adoption together: linkedin.com/pulse/90-day-sh…

Thrilled to be speaking at InfoSec Nashville 2026! AI is moving faster than most security programs can adapt, and that's where change initiatives go off the rails. I'll unpack how to de-risk that shift. Fri 9/18, 11:20 AM. Come say hi! infosecnashville.com #InfoSecNashville

We keep talking about how quickly AI is advancing. But are we spending enough time asking whether people actually trust it? Because access to AI doesn’t equal adoption, and adoption doesn’t happen without confidence. My latest thoughts: linkedin.com/pulse/ai-everyw…

Everyone wants to talk about AI tools. Few want to talk about leadership clarity. The organizations getting real value from AI aren't choosing better tools. They're creating better alignment. Technology amplifies clarity. It doesn't create it. Read more here: linkedin.com/pulse/why-ai-ad…

A CEO asked me, "Which AI tools should we be using?" Wrong question because AI isn't a strategy. It's a capability. Start with: • What problem are we solving? • What outcome are we driving? • How will we measure success? The best AI initiatives don't start with tools. They start with business needs. #AI #Leadership

Most organizations don’t have a technology problem, they have a clarity problem. We just published a behind-the-scenes look at how a global nonprofit tackled delivery friction by investing in operational discovery and alignment before scaling further. This is how execution actually improves. linkedin.com/pulse/strengthe…

The first sale is to yourself. Your beliefs are manifest in behaviors that others observe. If you don't feel you're an expert, the best for the client's needs, and worth the investment, why should anyone else? We cite the "imposter" but the real problem is the insecure.
