Why “Efficiency Only” Leaders Will Miss the Future of Work
As a woman who built a 40‑year tech career without a four‑year degree, I’m part of the 60% of U.S. workers economists like Simon Johnson warn are most at risk in the age of AI. Let’s explore why earlier tech waves opened doors for people like me, how today’s AI boom could slam them shut, and what it would take (AI literacy, durable skills, and courageous governance) to keep opportunity open for all.
From clueless to clued-in: 38 days immersed in AI governance
It’s been 38 days since I joined AI Governance Group (AIGG). In that short span I’ve begun to shift how I see AI from a shiny (and sometimes scary) efficiency tool to a governance, trust, and human-impact undertaking.
Federal Funding Opportunity: $50M for AI in Education
Most institutions racing to submit FIPSE grant proposals will focus entirely on their innovative AI tools and transformative outcomes. They'll describe cutting-edge technology, ambitious goals, and measurable student impacts. And most of them will miss what reviewers are actually looking for. We can help with a 30-minute readiness assessment call.
Shadow AI is Already Here. Why Your Insurance Likely Won’t Cover What’s Next
Your vendors are adding AI capabilities to software you already own, often without meaningful notification or your consent. Two-thirds of SaaS applications now have AI features. Your legal team reviewed the original contract three years ago. But did anyone review last quarter's terms of service update? Probably not.
Human Dimensions of AI Literacy: Why Teaching Tech Misses the Point
The job market has fundamentally transformed. We’re preparing a workforce for jobs that don’t yet exist. Skills that took years to master are being automated, while entirely new capabilities - from prompt engineering to AI ethics - are suddenly the latest discussion points. This isn't about robots taking jobs; it's about understanding which human skills matter more than ever, and which ones won't save you.
Building the Future of Education: My Journey into Durable Skills
Attended a Lightcast workshop on durable skills for the AI age. Then I actually tried to GET the data. What followed was a perfect lesson in the very skills we should be teaching: problem-solving through failure, asking better questions, and collaborating with AI as a learning partner.
The irony? Learning about AI-age skills BY using AI to learn. Sometimes the process teaches more than the product.
Escaping Local Maxima: What Grief, High Jumping, and AI Taught Me About Transformation
A year after loss, I'm still finding my way forward. Grief taught me what AI is now teaching workplaces: sometimes progress means going backward first. Like Dick Fosbury revolutionizing high jumping by looking foolish, we must escape our comfortable valleys to discover what's possible on higher ground.
Patterns in time, minds in motion
The O’Mind helps forward‑thinking leaders systematize knowledge, capture IP, and integrate human and AI‑powered processes, creating a living organizational intelligence that can be used to boost productivity, accelerate onboarding, or prepare for successful M&A.
The countdown has begun
On August 2, 2026, organizations who sell into the EU or whose AI-enabled products or services are used in the EU must prove they proide AI Literacy education and training to their employees. Fines for those who don’t will follow.
AI Literacy and AI Readiness - the intersection matters most
As leaders consider how to adopt and scale new AI-enabled solutions, we’re hearing two phrases increasingly surface in strategic conversations: AI literacy and AI readiness. They are related, but not interchangeable, and understanding the distinction (and the magic of the intersection of the two) could determine whether your organization is poised to thrive in an AI-driven landscape.
