If you follow the GenAI conversation closely, it can feel like whiplash – like there is no agreement. One day it’s “AI is rewriting the economy,” the next it’s “AI is all hype and risk.” It feels like we’re now in a “Great Divergence” – not just differing opinions, but two parallel realities shaped by incentives and where you sit in the organization (something I have seen in my own work – some organisations are embracing AI and realizing the benefits while other are flatly, not interested).

Not All Copilot Studio Agents Are Equal: How to Get the Best SharePoint Answers
Imagine giving two employees the same task, but one has all the right tools and the other doesn’t. You’d get very different results.

That’s why I always value conversations with businesses that bring things back to what really matters, solving real problems. GenAI isn’t just the latest shiny object, it’s a powerful tool to unlock capacity and drive real value, when focused on a business problem.
