The first wave of AI disruption will not be unemployment.
It will be organizational embarrassment.
AI will expose every meeting, approval, report, and role that only exists because coordination was expensive.
The real disruption starts inside the workflow.
AI will not remove every job overnight.
But it will expose every workflow that only exists because coordination was expensive.
That is the uncomfortable part.
“We need to move faster” is not a transformation plan.
The real work is redesigning how risks surface, who can intervene, when deals escalate and which assumptions management stops believing.
Speed is an outcome of operating design.
IBM crashes 22% after the CEO says:
‘this quarter we faltered. We did not adapt and move quickly enough, and numerous large deals failed to close on the timelines we expected’
@InTheAssembly Companies rarely miss a quarter because everyone suddenly stopped working. They miss because weak signals stayed trapped in meetings until they became financial results.
@KutterIsKing Seven homers shows the power exists. The separator is sustaining timing, launch angle and swing quality as fatigue builds and the clock accelerates decisions.
@TalkinYanks The total looks disappointing, but Derby results should not be confused with game value. This format rewards rhythm and endurance more than pitch recognition.
The Home Run Derby is not only a power contest.
It is an execution test: repeat the same high-quality movement under fatigue, noise and time pressure.
Maximum output creates highlights. Repeatability wins formats.
@MLBONFOX High-pressure formats expose the gap between maximum capability and repeatable performance. The best Derby hitters do not just hit far—they reproduce the same swing under fatigue.
Before sharing a dramatic comparison, check:
Are the units equivalent?
Are both assets transferable?
Can both be exchanged freely?
Does the number measure purchasing power?
Correct arithmetic can still produce a false conclusion.
@kirawontmiss A technically correct comparison can still be misleading. Unit price is not purchasing power, and a Fortnite credit is not equivalent to a national currency.
