Innovation & AI advisor, Singapore. Now testing something new: helping senior leaders build real AI fluency and a working tool, not just learn about it.

Elon Musk on Grok Bot: "We're seeing the fastest growth of a product that I've ever seen in my life. I've never seen anything growth this fast. The usage of Grok Bot per user actually has been growing over time. They are using it more per week, not less. Enterprise Grok Bot will be in wide deployment in a few weeks. I think Grok Bot will use most of SI compute."

Instacart's AI entry point is not a product category.

It is a demand moment: dinner, budget, dietary restriction, time.

That is not search optimization. That is a different understanding of market logic.

I asked AI agents to help run my social media.

Producing content was easy. Producing something I actually wanted to share took considerably more back-and-forth 😂

Delegating the work is teaching me to be much clearer about my own judgment.

@FT Before my agent negotiates for me, I need to tell it what I value beyond price. Flexibility? Reliability? Keeping the relationship? “Get me the best deal” leaves a lot unsaid.

@TechCrunch Interesting innovation brief: what have customers learned to tolerate that they would happily remove? AI gives them more power to act on that frustration. Product teams should be paying attention.

Today marks an important step for European finance.

With the launch of Pontes, we are providing the infrastructure for settling tokenised asset transactions in central bank money, supporting innovation and integration across Europe.

@McKinsey Agree, and the bench doesn't build itself in a workshop. It builds one leader at a time, working through a real problem until the judgment is actually theirs. That's the part most transformation programs skip past to get to the tooling: https://t.co/1IzefEQoXJ

[Eric Saint-Andre @LeanEric]

@Entrepreneur Step 4 is the one I'd push on. Giving managers more workforce data doesn't automatically give them better judgment about it. I've watched leaders with great dashboards still make the same calls they always made, because access isn't the same skill as knowing what to do with it

[Eric Saint-Andre @LeanEric]

@ascent_gp Judgment, and it's not close. Governance and change leadership both depend on it, but you can't set guardrails or redesign work until you know where AI actually creates value. That's the part most leaders skip: https://t.co/1IzefEQoXJ

[Eric Saint-Andre @LeanEric]

@HarvardBiz Agree on the five profiles, but the harder problem is that most AI initiatives stall because nobody's sitting with that manager long enough to move them. That's the exact bet behind what I'm testing right now: working alongside one leader at a time until something real gets built

[Eric Saint-Andre @LeanEric]

@HarvardBiz The difficult part is that leaders cannot answer this from the sidelines. They need enough direct experience working with AI on their own priorities to judge what should be delegated, augmented or kept human.

AI literacy is becoming a management practice, not a training outcome.

[Eric Saint-Andre @LeanEric]

AI training is often the wrong starting point for senior leaders.

They don’t need more content. They need someone beside them to explore what AI can do for their role, build something useful, and translate that into better choices for their team.
