“Is your hand getting tired?” attendees asked.
“You should have a stamp,” others joked. 
But that would circumvent the HUMAN aspect and authenticity. 

For two hours straight, attendees waited in line to receive their signed copy of The HUMAN Agentic AI Edge on launch day yesterday.

I signed each one of the 300 books with:
Stay HUMAN. 
Get AI-Ready.

Sounds great, doesn’t it? But it was the little chats here and there, the feedback on my closing keynote, and talking about the good old days with former colleagues, that added the HUMAN touch.

I signed 300 books at the big launch this week, but this interaction made an impression on me:

Jade was running the bar and serving customers. When the book line was short, she came over, and I signed a copy for her. She asked about my self-publishing process and mentioned that she has published three books on Amazon. As I was breaking down the banners and stowed them away at the end of the event, Jade came over again. 

“Can I say something?” she asked. 

I was curious, but wasn’t quite sure what was on her mind. 

“Successful people need to hear this, too: I am proud of you!”

I didn’t expect to hear these words.

A dozen thoughts rushed through my head: 
How nice of her to come over to say that. Successful? Proud of ME?

All I could think to say was: “Thank you so much.”

But I’ve been thinking about that interaction and her words for the rest of the week.


Let’s all be a little more like Jade, and be a little more HUMAN.

📘 NOW AVAILABLE: The HUMAN Agentic AI Edge! 
When AI becomes the next “easy button,” leaders need to set expectations with their teams early. 

Otherwise, low-quality, sloppy results creep in, and performance, skills, and reputation degrade.

Between the triad of standards, guardrails, and readiness lies the real work that leaders need to do now, beyond “giving everyone Copilot etc.”

Let’s face it: team members are not off the hook doing their best work. They never were.

Like a senior manager recently shared with me: “Now, I’m getting all these meeting summaries and action items from my team members. I don’t have time to go through all of them.”

Creating is easy. Filtering and prioritizing are the new bottleneck for most leaders.

In the book, you will find the frameworks, anecdotes, and examples that help you empower and encourage your team to use AI responsibly while remaining accountable and high-performing.


Today is the official book launch together with 500 IT leaders at the Next Generation SAP Enterprise Architect Community Learning Forum—keynote and book signing included.


In case you are not on-site, you can get your copy on Amazon for the special launch offer!


Stay HUMAN. Become AI-ready.

And celebrate the big launch with me!

#ArtificialIntelligence #AgenticAI #Leadership

How do you measure the success of a launch?
Whatever your answer, launch day is intense. 
Whatever your product or service, you prep and prep, and prep…and hope for the best. 

Once the launch is on, market reception and feedback are largely out of your hands.

What applies to software and category launches applies to book launches, too. 

On Wednesday, I was checking the category rankings to see how The HUMAN Agentic AI Edge was moving up in the three categories I selected for the launch. 

But it wasn’t. 

It sat at rank #76 all morning and afternoon.
I was getting nervous. Had I missed to activate even more parts of my network? Was everyone just too busy during the day (or had forgotten about buying the book)?

Was the number of sales not enough to make even a slight dent?

Then, one of my friends texted me. 
“Your book is #3 in the charts!”

I was relieved. At least a little. Viewing the category instead of the book showed the correct ranking. But the question of how many more sales I’d need to make it to #1 was nagging. You just don’t know. 

At dinner, we celebrated the launch together with the other speakers of the Next Generation SAP Enterprise Architect Community Learning Forum. 

By then, the book had moved to #2. Soooo close. So close. 

4 minutes past midnight, it hit the top spot in the “Hot Releases” list on Amazon in Germany—just not in a category. 

I decided to go to sleep and check whenever I’d wake up. #2 wasn’t so bad for launch day. But would other books overtake it tomorrow?

I briefly woke up just before 4am and grabbed my phone. Had anything changed in the past 4 hours??

Yes, it had! #1 in Management Skills…a best-seller!! Satisfaction. Screenshot. Sleep. In that order.

Since then, it has hit #1 in all three categories!
A super successful launch. 


But it’s one of these things that you can’t do alone. Thank you so much for your support and readership! I’m deeply grateful!

#ArtificialIntelligence #AgenticAI #Leadership

During the launch of The HUMAN Agentic AI Edge, 300 attendees waited in line to get their signed copy. Here’s how quickly 3 hours went by…

In each book, I wrote:

Stay HUMAN. 
Get AI-Ready.

Because in order to become an AI-first business, your team needs to get AI-ready…first.


Since then, many attendees have reached out, and I even met a few IRL this week!

Thank you for the awesome feedback and reviews. If you’ve received or bought a copy, please consider leaving your feedback on Amazon. 

Empowering and encouraging team members to use AI without creating slop is the task of the hour. 

I’m curious: How much AI slop do you receive per day? And what would it take to stop it?

#ArtificialIntelligence #AgenticAI #IntelligenceBriefing

Earlier this week, we had a special pre-launch book signing for members of the Chief Architect Network (CAN) that Grant Ecker leads.

Grant and the CAN community connect Chief Architects and senior IT executives to discuss and learn about new topics (such as Agentic AI) and how IT organizations can both prepare themselves and implement these technologies. Since 2021, the community has grown to over 620 members globally.

I’ve been following Grant on LinkedIn for a few years now. So, I was super excited when we first hosted our first event together in December, and when we finally got to meet in person this week.

When AI-generated news and the AI hype make it harder to discern what's real and what's actually working, being part of a community of trusted, human leaders and experts is the way to go.

So here’s a special Friday shout-out Grant and the network!
Give him a follow and maybe we'll see each other at a future event, too.


Love the red tumbler, btw. It goes so well with The HUMAN Agentic AI Edge and the launch-week promo of a symbolic Dollar (or Euro) over on Amazon.


Happy Friday, everyone!


#ArtificialIntelligence #Leadership #Community

“I hadn’t thought about agents as digital employees, yet,” shared a leader with me after attending yesterday workshop, “but it makes sense!”

Let’s get this out of the way for context:
- Approaching agents as digital employees is a helpful metaphor as you define guidelines, guardrails, add processes, but…
- They are still “just software” when it comes to the accountability for their decisions incl legal or ethical aspects (accountability stays with you)

I call it the “Dual-Lens Principle.”

Another attendee rightfully asked who creates the majority of agents in a business today?—IT. 

HR is not at the table. Yet, it’s a major workforce shift and HR can contribute wit that experience. Job descriptions, codes of conduct, rewards, org charts included. IT and HR need to collaborate.

That’s a central point in The HUMAN Agentic AI Edge which participants learned about. Tomorrow is the official book launch, which means you can learn about it, too!


How do you view AI agents?—As digital employees or just another piece of software?


#ArtificialIntelligence #AgenticAI #IntelligenceBriefing

The HUMAN Agentic AI Edge was just covered on Forbes!! Coverage includes the 6 dimensions of the Operating Model you will find in the book.  

When work is no longer a matter of effort, purpose moves into focus.

When AI generates outcomes on par with human results, quality and delivery speed become the differentiating factors.

Ultimately, the question is how you define your value at work when AI can eventually do more tasks that humans do.

The key lies in elevating what makes us unique.
And that’s a core role any leader needs to play. 

How do you define your value at work?


Thank you, Joe McKendrick, for covering a key message of the book in this article!

You've heard me say it time and again:
Your AI agents need high-quality data to deliver high-quality results.

But what does Agentic-Ready Data look like?
And where does that high-quality data even come from when data is rarely current, correct, enriched, or governed.

I can't wait to learn about it from the Precisely team at the Gartner Data & Analytics Summit in Orlando next week at booth # 727. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dXhPcGiS

“What’s new, and what’s real with Agentic AI?” is the big question I’m getting answers to next week in Orlando.

I’ll cover the latest news on site, interview top executives, and talk to customers to get information straight from the source.

One thing is clear:
Large organizations are innovating with Agentic AI. They just don’t talk about it publicly (out of fear to get bad press or backlash). But we need more transparency (not less!), so everyone can avoid the costly mistakes.

Agentic AI value does not come from models alone. Instead, quality, trust, and governance of the data behind it are more critical than ever.

To learn more, I spoke with Felix Van de Maele, CEO of Collibra, to discuss why turning AI ambition into real business value starts with one thing: Data Confidence.

Here’s what stood out:

1. AI success is mostly a data challenge
Felix makes the case that enterprise AI is largely driven by the data organizations feed into their models, agents, and use cases. When companies have confidence in their data, they can move faster, generate higher-quality outputs, and drive stronger adoption across the business.

2. Unstructured data is the next big frontier
Most enterprise data is still unstructured, and that creates a major challenge for AI teams. Felix explains why discovering the right documents, identifying sensitive information, and evaluating data quality are essential if organizations want to get better ROI from AI initiatives.

3. More context does not always mean better results
Simply loading every available document into an AI system is not a winning strategy. Better outcomes come from intentional governance of the data and context that agents rely on.

4. Agentic AI raises the stakes for governance
As AI agents begin to take more autonomous actions, accountability becomes even more important. Felix breaks down why organizations need to govern inputs, monitor outputs, and establish the right controls to move AI from experimentation into production responsibly.

If you're tasked with scaling AI in your enterprise, this conversation is a strong reminder that trusted data is the foundation for trusted AI outcomes.

Anthropic calls it: Theoretical capability.
You might also call it: Market potential. 

Keep in mind that these are the key industries and occupations that Anthropic is selling to!

So, it’s not surprising for a vendor to picture their product as covering close to 100%(!) of tasks in management, finance, programming, legal, life sciences, and office admin.

The bigger questions are about how to turn theoretical into actual capability:
1) Why is there so much untapped potential?
2) How can organizations close that gap?

Yet, the cause is all around you in your business:
Leaders are asking “We’ve given everyone access to Copilot, Claude & Co., now what?”

Tools have theoretical capabilities.
Humans need actual capabilities. 


Since the summer, I’ve been running cohorts of my “Certified AI Leader” upskilling program.

The four levels of the learning journey cover the basics of using AI assistants, applying advanced prompting techniques, building your first AI agents, and leading your teams through AI-driven change: https://lnkd.in/dq4ayVWX

AI agents are only as good as the data behind them.

That’s why I talked to Cam Ogden, SVP of Product Management at Precisely, to learn more about the challenge many organizations are underestimating: whether their data is actually Agentic-Ready Data.

As more companies move from AI experimentation to enterprise agents making decisions on their behalf, the bar for data trust rises dramatically. Cam shares why “AI-ready” and “agentic-ready” are not the same thing, and what leaders need to do now to close that gap.
Here’s what you’ll learn:

1. Why data trust matters more in the age of AI agents
When dashboards fail, teams lose confidence. When agents act on flawed data, the business takes on real operational risk. Agentic AI requires a much higher standard of trust, completeness, and confidence in enterprise data.

2. Where the AI readiness disconnect really comes from
According to the 2026 State of Data Integrity and AI Readiness report (https://lnkd.in/dMm72RbM), co-developed with the Drexel LeBow Center for Applied AI and Business Analytics, many leaders say their organizations are AI ready because they have roadmaps, cloud investments, and executive support in place. But at the operational level, the picture often looks very different, creating a gap between strategy and execution. That’s also why so many organizations are still struggling with data quality, context, and integration.

3. The hidden measurement problem in AI adoption
A major issue is not just whether companies are investing in AI, but whether they are measuring success in a meaningful way. Too few organizations have clear metrics tied to AI outcomes, which makes it harder to prove impact and scale what works.

4. How to close the agentic AI data integrity gap
Leaders need to address six core challenges, spanning siloed data, missing context, stale data, incomplete records, weak governance, and rising cost from untangling these issues. Start with one use case, strengthen the data foundation, prove value, and then scale across the business.

If you’re exploring AI agents in the enterprise, this conversation will help you understand why trusted, well-governed data is becoming a competitive requirement.

Watch and listen how leaders can build the Agentic-Ready Data foundation needed for real AI scale.

#ArtificialIntelligence #DataStrategy #AgenticAI #AgenticReadyData #Precisely

Everyone wants AI agents. But most organizations are still skipping an important step: 

Matching the type of Agentic AI they want to the level of readiness they actually have.

A practical way to think about Agentic AI is in 3 categories:

1. Personal productivity: AI helps an individual draft, summarize, research, or analyze. Accountability is still clear.

2. Operational efficiency: Teams hand recurring work to agents, such as reporting, data checks, or coordination. Review processes start to matter much more.

3. Strategic differentiation: Agents support core processes like procurement, customer support, or financial analysis. This is where scale rises fast, but so does risk.


The mistake many companies make is treating all three the same. It’s a core aspect in my new best-selling book, The HUMAN Agentic AI Edge.

As agent autonomy increases, so must clarity around ownership, permissions, quality standards, and review.

That is why leaders need to look at agents through two lenses at the same time:
- as digital employees that need guardrails
- as just another piece of software that must be governed

Most importantly, human are still responsible. AI can accelerate work, but it does not remove judgment. If standards do not keep pace with adoption, “productivity gains” quickly turn into review overhead, rework, and hidden clean-up.

The better approach:
- Start where accountability is clear.
- Design deliberately as complexity increases.
- Keep human judgment ahead of AI capability.

#ArtificialIntelligence #Leadership #IntelligenceBriefing

Your biggest AI advantage is a repeatable way for people to use it.

Start a tiered champion program: basic membership and sandbox access, short role-based courses, hands-on prototyping, and named local contacts who connect teams to deployment support. 

Curate short learning paths, keep playgrounds safe, and push pilots that show clear deployment paths so adoption comes from informed users, not guesses.  

Stop confusing speed with scale. Quick experiments teach a lot, but without structure they create waste. Require a simple pilot template (goal, expected benefit, data needs, security checklist, deployment path), run short cycles, and measure outcomes you can act on. Keep governance light but consistent so teams don’t reinvent the same work.

My developer quoted me ₹5,00,000
for a simple internal app.

All I wanted was:

➡️ Track my clients’ LinkedIn post performance
➡️ See engagement data clearly
➡️ Monitor growth trends
➡️ Generate clean reports

Nothing complex.
Just clarity.

₹5 lakh.

For a minute, I convinced myself…
“Maybe that’s the cost of building software.”

Then, while scrolling LinkedIn, I discovered Replit.

I decided to try it.

That decision saved me ₹5,00,000.

No servers.

I described what I wanted.

And I had a working, full-stack app.

Not a mockup.
Not slides.

A real app with logic, data storage, authentication, ready to use.

That’s when I understood something powerful:

Replit isn’t just for experimenting.

It supports the full journey:

👉 Start — Turn an idea into something real, fast.
👉 Build — Everything in one place.
👉 Scale — Production-ready, secure, built to grow.

Biggest realization?

We don’t always need a full tech team to validate an idea.
Sometimes we just need the right platform.

₹5 lakh saved.
One idea shipped.

If you’re sitting on an idea because “it’s too expensive”,

Maybe it’s not.

Maybe you just haven’t started yet.

I recently built a simple Autonomous Financial Intelligence System using Kimi Claw.

Just a smart AI agent that:

➡️ Tracks financial data
➡️ Generates automated reports
➡️ Sends insights on schedule
➡️ Remembers preferences over time

Instead of constantly checking dashboards and market updates… the system brings insights to me.

A few things I love about it:

✓ Runs 24/7 in the cloud
✓ Generates weekly and daily financial reports
✓ Uses thousands of built-in skills for analysis
✓ Stores data and past insights with persistent memory

I know that sounds dramatic. But I actually did it after 2 years of paying for almost every AI tool out there.

I was opening ChatGPT for writing, research, and summaries.
Gemini for images.
Kling for videos.
Another tool for vibe-coding apps.
Another one for presentations.

Nothing was wrong with the tools. The problem was fragmentation.

Then I moved everything into ChatLLM by Abacus hi AI. -

I was flipping through a magazine when a full-page ad made me pause.

“The best camera we’ve ever made.”

Naturally, I assumed it was a camera brand.
The product styling, the setup, the confidence in the line, everything pointed to a serious professional camera.

Then I opened the page.

The camera quietly slipped into a pocket.

And the line read:
“It’s also a smartphone.”

That small reveal changed the entire story.

What looked like a professional camera ad was actually showcasing the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, a smartphone built around a camera-first philosophy, co-engineered with Leica.

It’s a clever reminder of how far smartphone photography has come.

Features like advanced imaging tech, innovations such as LOFIC and 200MP continuous optical zoom, and the optional Photography Kit Pro are pushing the boundaries of what we expect from a phone.

What I appreciated most wasn’t just the product story, it was the storytelling.

In a time where most ads compete for attention on screens, this print execution creates a genuine “aha moment.”

One simple twist turns curiosity into admiration.

Smart idea.
Unexpected reveal.
Memorable storytelling.

#Xiaomi17Ultra

As a creator, I see hundreds of brand campaigns every week.

Most of them? Copy-paste energy.
Bold claim. Pretty visual. Quiet fine print.

But this one actually made me stop scrolling.

POCO just launched something called the Fastest BS Service.

The idea, since their X8 Pro Series needs zero disclaimers, they'll help other brands hide theirs. They brought in India's fastest rapper, Gaush, to speed-rap competitor fine print so fast nobody can understand it.

The brands winning with Gen Z aren't the loudest ones.
They're the most honest ones.

POCO didn't just launch a phone.
They launched a mirror at the entire industry.

9000mAh battery. Dimensity 9500. 3Mn+ Antutu score.
No asterisks. No conditions.

All Power. No BS.

Honestly the kind of campaign I wish I could say I ideated. 😭

Yaar koi mujhe batao how is Manyavar so good at this??

They just dropped a Wedding Music Video with Vijay and Rashmika and I am not okay. 

The video is SO cute, the chemistry is insane, and Amit Trivedi ka music? Chef's kiss.

But also, let's talk about the big brain energy here. Manyavar didn't make an ad. They made a wedding film that people actually want to watch and share. No voiceover or "buy now." Just a beautiful story about a wedding that almost  just happened.

They literally created a cultural moment.

The timing is also wild. When Vijay and Rashmika are the hottest topic on the internet, Manyavar already had this in the bag. That's not coincidence, that's someone on their team who really understands the pulse.

Bohot din baad kuch aisa dekha jisme brand feel hi nahi hua. 

And that's the biggest compliment you can give a marketing team.

When I was younger, I used to get irritated when my nani asked too many questions.

“How does this work?”
“Who decides this?”
“What happens if it fails?”

At the time, it felt unnecessary.
Today, it feels like wisdom.

Every AI system I’ve seen break in production broke for the same reason:
no one truly understood it.

It worked in demos.
It impressed in meetings.
But when something went wrong, there were no clear answers, only guesses.

The strongest teams I’ve worked with build differently.

They slow down first.
They analyze intent before writing logic.
They design how agents interact, not just what they output.
They build systems they can explain without slides.

That approach is exactly what Architect enables.

It follows the same discipline:
analyze → orchestrate → build.

Nothing hidden.
Nothing assumed.
Just glass-box transparency from the start.

Funny how nani’s questions ended up becoming a blueprint for how AI should be built.

I’ve been exploring Architect and seeing how it applies these principles to real workflows:

I never thought that a task as simple as booking a househelp could teach me a business lesson.

Last week, I tried Urban Company for the first time.

Service done. Payment done. I thought that was it.

Then the app asked:
“Do you want to book the same professional next time?”

A tiny question… but a genius idea.

Because in service businesses, the hardest part isn’t getting a customer once.
It’s making them come back.

Urban Company quietly solves that problem. The next time you open the app, the professional you already trust appears as a preferred option.

Just comfort and familiarity.

Most companies chase the first sale.
The smart ones? They make the second sale effortless.

Small product decisions = big retention wins.

P.S: What’s one small feature in a product or service that made you come back again and again?

I was reading an article this morning, and one thing just stopped me, the new Tata Punch.ev has been revealed at a starting price of Rs 9.69 lakh (ex-showroom). And once I went down that rabbit hole, I couldn't stop.

Now I follow car launches quite closely, and the EV space especially has been fascinating to watch. But what Tata has done with the new Punch.ev genuinely surprised me.

The safety package alone is something else. Over 60 safety features, including Hill Ascent and Descent Control, Electronic Stability Program, Hill Hold Control, ISOFIX child seat anchors, and even an SOS calling function built right in. That's not just car safety, that's peace of mind at a price most people wouldn't expect.

Then there's the connected car experience through IRA.ev, which comes standard across all variants. We're talking about real-time charge status, remote diagnostics, geo-fencing, valet mode, and alerts for everything from an open door to an abrupt charge cut-off. And if that wasn't enough, you can control the car from your smartwatch, lock, unlock, switch the AC on, and precool the cabin before you even walk to the parking lot.

On the comfort side, a voice-assisted electric sunroof, cooled glovebox, 90-degree door opening, and 366L of boot space are the kind of everyday touches that make ownership genuinely enjoyable rather than just practical.

A lifetime battery warranty on the 40 kWh pack ties it all together. Tata isn't just selling a car here; they're selling safety and confidence.

The more I read, the more I felt this isn't just a good EV. It's a genuinely good car.

I stopped paying for most of my AI tools.

Not because they were bad.
Because using them together became exhausting.

Every task meant opening a different product.

One tool for writing and research.
Another for images.
Another for video generation.
Another for building apps.
Another for presentations.

The tools were powerful. The workflow was messy.

That’s where Abacus AI changed the workflow.

A B2B fintech brand just made me stop scrolling. That doesn't happen often.

Cashfree Payments dropped "One of Your Kind" and it is nothing like what you expect from a payments company.

No product pitches. No feature talk. Just the real moments behind building BigBasket, Third Wave Coffee, RedBus, Heads Up For Tails and more.

As someone who lives and breathes brand storytelling, this is how you build emotional equity in a space everyone treats as a commodity.

Every business builds its own way. The infrastructure behind it should understand that.

This is what intentional brand building looks like.

Shoutout to Akash S. and Reeju Datta for bringing this story to life. 👏

#CashfreePayments #OneOfYourKind

For over a decade, Cashfree Payments has powered payments for 1 million+ businesses across India.

Working closely with startups, D2C, SaaS, travel and growing businesses reveals something quickly.

No two successful businesses operate the same way - each is one of a kind. 
Some brands scale through flash sales.
Some run marketplaces with multiple sellers.
Some deal with COD orders and returns.
Some start selling globally from day one.

Every business solves problems in its own way. And their payments need to work the same way.

At Cashfree Payments, we build payments around how businesses actually operate and what they need. Whether you are processing your first hundred orders or scaling to millions of transactions.

Cashfree Payments. One of Your Kind.

#OneOfYourKind

Today’s social media scroll came with a pleasant surprise.

I came across RADHA Diamond and Gold Jewellery, and for a moment it felt like the jewellery brand KISNA diamond and Gold Jewellery had introduced a new identity.

But the idea behind it was far more meaningful and unique.

For Women’s Day, the brand chose to rename itself, placing a feminine power at the forefront as a tribute to the strength, grace and wisdom.

It’s a subtle gesture, but one that speaks volumes.

Because sometimes, the most powerful tributes simply place women where they truly belong, at the heart of it all.
