Leadership, AI & the Future of Innovation (Fireside Chat)
summary
Discussion shows executives using Microsoft Copilot for strategy and personal coaching to plan brand moves and parental logistics, but often applying AI to old tasks instead of reinventing workflows. Successful adopters pair psychological safety with measurable governance: set goals, track outcomes, and make growth repeatable. Prediction: low-cost AI stacks let solo founders and small teams produce outsized businesses, so expect rapid industry disruption unless organizations connect innovation work to core business metrics.
