Building an Expertise-Driven Business

As a CEO, I wanted to build an expertise-driven business solving a specific problem for the right customers - one we could price on value and deliver with healthy margins.

Turned adversity into a chance to make this real by diving back into coding, building it myself, and collaborating with a small team to make it viable.

For profitable industrial firms, we reduce the cost and risk of .NET modernization. Our analysis tools use AI responsibly, guided by their experts, to assist teams through their transformation.

There just aren’t many use cases yet for fully autonomous agents. Valuable deployments entail human experts collaborating and guiding the AI.

This requires investment in tools and learning time. It requires leadership goals and employee autonomy to deliver them. It requires measuring not just usage but customer outcomes.

Navigating Generative AI Risks

For those investing and using generative AI as a tool for business. Navigate past the hype.

  1. Own the material risks of such tools: personal / corporate privacy, data transparency / veracity, energy / compute resource consumption, regulatory compliance, and human safety.

  2. Retain engineering and product capability to build with system reliability, product efficacy, business outcomes and great customer experience.

  3. Lead humanely leveraging profit and operating efficiency towards better worker engagement / quality of life.

These are human accountabilities. We have a right to demand them of each other.
