Guardian of an Intent. Product leadership. UX. Content design. Product marketing. Systems thinking and civic tech. Founder UX conference: http://outcomeconf.com

At the early stage of any work, I am most curious about:

—Why we work—why an org exists, how they hire, why they work
—What are their operating principles if any, for what goals
—What those goals mean to different people, functions, and segments
—What happens to our work after we quit a product or org? Who cares?

Product managementAll things product management for business design, org design, and technology design.
UXUser experience, interactions, design
System thinkingA systems perspective into how we plan our digital products for team design, alignment and incentives, leadership and standards, frameworks and models, and the foundations of designing scalable products
Content strategyContent strategy, content design, UX writing, and content-driven design for operations and supply chain.

I am trying to imagine a dialogue that Ayn Rand never wrote—a dialogue between Howard Roark and Dagny Taggart, in their timeless lens to see the modern world. Both the characters make their own statements because their standards are in a certain geometry on a common cartesian plane. However there is a convergence because both are hitting the same walls.

Wall 1—The abdication of authorship.
Wall 2—The corruption of the standard.
Wall 3—The language has been hollowed out.

It is not broken; it has been designed this way.
We see it as broken because this is not our domain.

So, if AI shows something broken in our product, it means AI needs to be trained for the domain model first. The journey becomes:

"domain model -> data model -> content model.... "

.... of course with timely activities for semantic mapping, message architecture, and the information architecture.

A short story:

An insurance agent, A—"What kind of cover do you have, if any? For example depending on the profiling, I can offer you something that will be a great fit for your present and for future."
B—"Don't bother. I am also an insurance agent."

(Now replace the word 'insurance' with 'AI'.)

The AI-first orgs are moving from 'SWOT' analysis to 'SO' analysis—there are no weaknesses and no threats. Think of the leadership that sees only the strengths and the opportunities.
