    We discussed why the biggest returns from AI come from bringing it to the core of a business, both its core capabilities and its core systems. We want to extend our gratitude to the Blue Point team for hosting us, and look forward to continuing to collaborate in the future!

    Good Technology Makes the Complex Simple

    Good technology makes the complex simple, and bad technology does the opposite. At my first LightSight AI client, the sales order process was clearly in the second camp.

    Remember Agile? I do. I spent years of my career preaching it, practicing it, believing in it.

    As CEO of SolutionsIQ, we used to say our mission was bringing humanity to the workplace. Agile wasn't a methodology to us. It was a movement. Then AI showed up and everyone stopped talking about Agile. Here's what I think most people are missing: this isn't an out with the old, in with the new moment. The core premise of Agile, that markets had become too volatile for waterfall planning to work, is now proving true faster than anyone predicted. Innovation cycles that took years now take weeks. One popular AI tool was built and shipped in 10 days. Below is the first post in a new series on Agile in the age of AI. I'll be revisiting the practices, asking the hard questions (are two week iterations too long? are two pizza teams over with agentic coding?), and pulling in real examples from our client work. Full post in the comments. #Agile #AI #BusinessAgility #Leadership

    Agile in the Age of AI

    Agile and the Agile practices are by no means dead. In fact, over 85% of all teams in a recent survey claim they still use various Agile practices. However the Agile cloak has clearly tarnished. Even those respondenting to the State of Agile survey dropped by 90% from 2023 to 2025. Less Agile roles, less Agile enthusiasm. Here's how Agile is changing in the world of AI and why it's posed for a comeback.
