summary
Argues that AI productivity differences are organizational not technical, supported by DORA research spanning 36,000 respondents showing high performers outperform peers by one to three orders of magnitude, while some teams report 10X gains and others only 10–20% — a gap explained by changing communication topology and Conway’s Law. Notes CEO-level cross‑functional leadership as the lever, mentions practical experiments like pair vibe coding with voice to Claude multi-agent pairing and monthly forums for rapid experience reports.
