Thank you for sharing such a comprehensive overview. The balance you struck between technical context (e.g., transformers, reinforcement learning) and the broader human and organizational dimensions made the material both accessible and thought-provoking. I’m eager to apply these ideas with my clients and continue exploring how to set a vision for reinvesting AI-driven productivity into new capabilities
