Proof of Value > Proof of Effort

Ah yes, I used to give away the “no meetings meetings” concept. Every meeting notice comes with a todo list. If everything is done before the meeting, it’s cancelled, but you get to keep the time block for yourself. Motivating to reduce meetings! #CIOChat

Overheard: For enterprise tech, we used to make decisions: - In the mainframe era, for 10-20 years - In the client/server era, for 5 years - In the Internet era, for 3 years - In the AI era, for 90 days

It is a lot of work to switch vendors. A total pain. So be very embarrassed when you lose an existing customer to the competition. And really find out why. No one wants to switch if they don't need to. And do something about it before it happens again

A better B2B GTM path: Analysing trusted data; no cobbling: • 20% boost in acquisition, expansion, retention • 85% reduction in prep time for quarterly reports • Colleagues collaborate, agree, decide next best steps together ngl would've killed for this on every exec team

Business business.

…and #ENSW vendors will be next to follow suit.

An AI apprenticeship program isn't just coursework. It's scope, design, mentorship, labs, POCs, and a real learning journey - from new hire to someone who can validate what your AI agents are actually doing. #CIO #AILiteracy youtube.com/watch?v=EnFOYe7t…

ROI still needing to prove out: "We anticipate higher usage of [Agentforce] as people seem to be liking it. We don't know the ROI yet [and] if it translates into any hard savings." From 4,000 structured Salesforce discussions on @qualitateio

Workday’s Q1 results were strong, but the bigger story may be Aneel Bhusri pushing the company to become truly “AI-native,” not just AI-first. cloudwars.com/ai/workday-str…

“The real #AI gold rush isn’t in the models, it’s really that unglamorous work of moving 30-year-old legacy systems to a point where agents can actually do something with the #data.” - @BTinder #CloudWars @Workday cloudwars.com/ai/workdays-ai…

precisely - that and what you do for others.

I actually think the misunderstanding of FDE's value proposition is going to cause pain for both deployment companies and customers alike. There is a general surface-level understanding and meme-ability of FDEs similar to our product. In reality, what we actually do involves product leverage through back propagation of customer pain to product, a culture of shared risk-taking toward customer outcomes instead of work/consumption/selling, how we decomp problems through a lens of AI humans, and understanding that the world is qualitative as well as quantitative…and the list goes on. What I am NOT saying is that others can’t or won’t develop valuable FDE practices. What I actually hope to see through the cycles is a focus on customer outcomes, proof of value not proof of work, and thick software that compounds this value. The world would be a better place.

I recently had a great conversation with @chadwahl , Architect @PalantirTech, about how the number-one company on the #CloudWars growth chart (at 70%) turns modest customer deals into blockbuster ones with regularity, and more. cloudwars.com/ai/palantirs-c…

When students booed Eric Schmidt's AI remarks, it wasn't ignorance. It was a generation telling a tech billionaire he was out of touch with the reality they're walking into. #AI #FutureOfWork drive.starcio.com/2026/05/co…

100%. There is not yet enough real data on the meaningful impacts on the front lines atm. “Saving 75 minutes a day” (which is more what I’m hearing) isn’t the same as job displacement.

This is your personal moat.
