Conventional wisdom says "Speed kills". In supply chain operations, lack of it kills more. Amazon moved the bar to 1 hour delivery — and changing the operations landscape. Not how much, but How fast.

7-sins of #DigitalArchitecture, to avoid in the #AI-era: What's changed in tech architecture for the AI-era ? #1: Need to cut the operational cycle times (think cashflow/ inventory / order fulfillment
Every supply chain meeting hits these two painful notes:“We need to deliver like Amazon.”“But we already spent $10M on that AI/dashboard/ Strategy.” There’s a massive disconnect between those two st
If you’re a CIO in 2026, you’ve probably been told the same thing 37 times: “Just add AI.” It's like telling horse-wagon owners to “just add engine to their cart ” in early 1900's. The gap isn’t the p
AI: Trillion-$ orphan?
The paradox is stark... AI firms are valued at ~trillion-$.
Yet, every business leader is working to fill the "AI-adoption" gap.
What can you do for adoption of this trillion-$ opportunity at your org? Counterintuitively, it starts by going small, focusing on ~2.5% of users who are named "early adopters" in Moore's tech adoption cycle. An example is the "Beachhead strategy" used for cloud adoption (believe it or not, that was another billion-$ orphan at one time). Cloud can do anything now, but it got adopted in early 2000's by focusing on low cost, reliable & accessible storage.
Here's a 6-point checklist from #MIT (link in first comment):
Is the target customer well funded and are they readily accessible to our sales force? **[ideally coming inbound]
Do they have a compelling reason to buy?
Can we today, with the help of partners, deliver a whole product to fulfill that reason to buy?
Is there no entrenched competition that could prevent us from getting a fair shot at this business?
If we win this segment, can we leverage it to enter additional segments?
Can we show results in a one to two year timeframe? **[with AI, timeframe is weeks / months & not years] ** -> my view for adapting to the AI-era.
