Thinking built
in the field.

Field notes on the decisions that move enterprise AI from pilots into everyday practice.

Insights from practice

The thinking and the practice evolved together.

These articles reflect my thinking about enterprise AI adoption, my experience learning to use AI as a writing partner, and real-world experience helping our customers. The ideas, arguments, and conclusions are mine. AI helped me develop, structure, test, and refine them.

Some of the earlier pieces are both thought pieces and practical experiments in AI-assisted writing. Because AI changes quickly, the publication date is part of the context. Earlier articles reflect the tools, capabilities, and practices available when they were written, while many of the underlying adoption questions remain relevant. As the tools and my own practice have matured, the writing has become more consistent and the collaboration less visible. I have kept the full collection because it shows what learning with AI looks like over time.
