As AI transformations start ramping up in large organizations, they face the same dilemma as previous initiatives: innovation is fastest with freedom, while organizational stability requires constraints. To navigate this contradiction, Alex revisits the trusted tool of Cynefin sense-making device, that turns out has an even better applicability for AI transformations. If you want to […]
