Chairman @SenRickScott joined Dr. Kevin Rhodes of @WHOMB and @cpa_tradereform to talk about the risks of relying on COMMUNIST CHINA for products Americans depend on.

They’re working to bring drug manufacturing back to the U.S so Americans can TRUST what’s in their medicines.

Grit is fuel. Not strategy.

The day I stopped treating them as the same thing was the day Infragistics started to actually scale.

72% of employers think their teams are AI-ready. Only 53% of employees agree.

That gap is a visibility problem, not a technology problem.

Halfway through 2026 and most AI initiatives are still experiments.

Experimenting is not building.

One has architecture behind it. The other has a vendor demo.

An AI agent needs a mandate, not just a prompt.

Treat it like a new hire.

Define scope, boundaries, and accountability from day one.

Modern GTM is intelligence-driven.

Stop reacting to campaigns and start orchestrating signals.

The advantage goes to the fastest interpreter.

45% of firms aren't ready for AI because their culture isn't ready for transparency.

Technology scales what you already are.

Fix the culture first.

Teams achieve 87% faster meeting summaries when AI is embedded in the workflow.

If you have to leave your app for an answer, you've already lost.

The CEO role is shifting from Decider to Coach. Lead with dashboards, not anecdotes. Build decision-making capability across the whole team.

42% of firms pay a silo tax on their innovation.

Data silos create friction and kill AI accuracy.

Centralize your data or keep guessing.

#DataStrategy

[DeanGuida @DeanGuida]

Strategy is a living document, not a PDF in a drawer.

If your goals aren't visible in the daily task flow, they don't exist.

Stop planning and start executing.

#Execution #Slingshot

[DeanGuida @DeanGuida]

72% of bosses think their team is AI-trained.

Only 53% of employees agree.

This gap is where innovation dies. Stop monitoring and start mentoring.

#Leadership #AI

[DeanGuida @DeanGuida]

We beat Microsoft for a major deal by out-systematizing them, not out-spending them.

AI is the ultimate leverage to help small, fast teams beat the giants.

#Strategy #Scaling

[DeanGuida @DeanGuida]

The era of fixed inputs and fixed outputs is over.

AI is probabilistic.

If you're managing with a 1999 mindset, you're the bottleneck.

#TechTrends #AI

[DeanGuida @DeanGuida]

AI is a foundation, not a feature.

Stop bolting it onto legacy structures.

If you don’t re-architect for an AI-first world, you’re already a legacy company.

#vNext #FutureOfWork

[DeanGuida @DeanGuida]

Data-driven culture isn't just for data scientists. It's for everyone. Give your team the tools to see the truth in their own work.

The weekly status meeting is a relic of the past. Real-time data integration means you always know where you stand. Save the meeting for strategy.

[DeanGuida @DeanGuida]

Don't steal focus from your unique value proposition. Don't build what you can embed.

#RevealBI #Leadership #TechStrategy

[DeanGuida @DeanGuida]

Activity ≠ Impact. Stop tracking checklists and start managing outcomes with data-driven transparency.

#Leadership #FutureOfWork #Management

[DeanGuida @DeanGuida]

Gen Z is using AI in secret. Why? AI anxiety. Leaders must bridge the gap and show that AI is a co-pilot, not a replacement.
