AI isn't the goal.
Better business outcomes are.
Thoughts on AI, business, systems, and leverage from a marketer, former missionary pilot, and lifelong builder of practical solutions.
What I'm Exploring
The most interesting conversations about AI aren't really about AI. They're about people, systems, decisions, and outcomes. These are the areas I'm currently exploring.
1
AI & Business Outcomes
Technology should earn its place. I'm interested in how organizations can use AI to create meaningful business results rather than simply adding more tools.
2
Systems & Operations
The best outcomes usually come from better systems, not more effort. I explore how workflows, processes, and decision-making shape organizational performance.
3
Augmentation & Automation
Some problems are best solved by helping people perform at a higher level. Others are best solved through automation. Understanding the difference matters.
4
Leadership & Leverage
Technology changes quickly. Human nature doesn't. I'm fascinated by how leaders navigate change, uncertainty, and opportunity.
Every organization is at a different stage of its AI journey.
Some are just beginning to explore what's possible. Others are experimenting with tools, building workflows, and rethinking how work gets done.
IPAA is a framework to help leaders identify opportunities, build leverage, and focus their efforts where technology can create the greatest impact.
The goal isn't to adopt AI for the sake of AI.
The goal is better business outcomes.

Why I think about this stuff.
I'm a marketer, former missionary pilot, and lifelong builder of systems.
I've spent much of my career trying to answer the same question: How do we create better outcomes with the people, tools, and resources we already have?
Sometimes the answer is a better process. Sometimes it's better information. Sometimes it's technology. Most of the time, it's a combination of all three.
That's what fascinates me about AI. Not the technology itself, but the opportunity to help people make better decisions, focus their effort, and create meaningful leverage.
I believe technology should earn its place. This site is where I share ideas, observations, and lessons learned as I explore what that means for organizations navigating an AI-enabled world.
