Listen "What Everybody is Missing About AI "
Episode Synopsis
Derek and Bryn look past the excitement around AI and argue that the real question is not how to use AI, but whether leaders are working on the right things. Using the rise of spreadsheets as a historical parallel, Derek shows how powerful tools often create local optimization instead of improving system flow. They explore why AI feels intelligent, why it is deceptive, and how leaders can apply Essential Dynamics to clarify purpose, understand constraints, and decide where AI actually helps.Derek is at Unconstrained.Show notes are on the Essential Dynamics Wiki.
