What I've Learned Teaching AI to People Over 40: The True Generational Gap
It's Not About Technology. It's About Identity.
KEY POINTS
-
The generational divide in AI isn’t about digital literacy — it’s about professional identity and the threat of obsolescence

-
What actually works: the adoption patterns that cut through resistance
-
The hidden cost of “change management theater” in AI rollouts
-
What your organization’s AI adoption strategy is probably getting wrong

-
What “AI-native” actually means vs. what companies think it means
-
The decisions leaders make in the next 24 months that will determine the next 20 years

War and Supply Chains: How Logistics Wins and Loses Wars — and Businesses
Victory Doesn't Go to the Strongest Army. It Goes to the Best Supply Chain.

The modern enterprise as a theater of operations: visibility, tempo, and decisive action
-
What great military logisticians understood that most supply chain leaders still don’t
For event planners: The general who wins isn’t the one with the best soldiers. It’s the one who can feed them, fuel them, and resupply them faster than the enemy.
