Your AI strategy isn't a strategy if your competitor can copy it in a quarter.

MIT Sloan just published something you might want to ruminate on. The argument is straightforward: AI fails the basic test of sustainable competitive advantage because it's neither unique nor inimitable. Capital, talent, algorithms, even proprietary data, all of it is converging. Smaller models are catching up to larger ones. Open-source is closing the gap. The moat you think you're building is filling in as fast as you dig.

The part that should sting for most executives is this: the companies that win won't win because of AI. They'll win because of what their people do with it that nobody else thought to do.

That means that it isn't what AI tools you're buying. It's whether you're still investing in the humans who know your customers, your market, and your blind spots well enough to make a move no model would predict.

If you gutted your talent development budget to fund AI infrastructure, you may have traded the thing that can't be commoditized for the thing that already is.

A moat in public services isn't about profit. It's about why your service can do something no one else can replicate at the same cost, quality, or reach.

Network effects. Switching costs. Data accumulated over time. Regulatory position. Most services have one of these. Few capitalise on it deliberately.

What's your service's sustainable advantage?

When supported by disciplined data and governance, sustainability becomes more than compliance — it becomes a competitive advantage.

If we're being honest this should probably be the biggest news story today. We already knew all the terrible things the media is focusing on today, but this could be a game-changer.
