AI Strategy Pioneer & Innovation Catalyst | Transforming businesses with AI-driven strategies and digital innovation

Most AI investments fail — and not because of the technology.

They fail because we keep deploying sophisticated AI to unprepared humans. Then we measure "adoption" and wonder why the ROI never shows up.

I lead AI Capability globally at Capgemini Invent. My team and I are building what I call Human-AI Chemistry — the hard work of making sure people and systems are actually ready for each other before we hit deploy.

What does that mean in practice?
→ Stop renting tools. Start building Engines that compound value.
→ Stop measuring adoption. Start measuring Cognitive Load, Stress, and Trust.
→ Stop chasing collaboration. Start engineering fusion.

This isn't theory. We're testing it, breaking it, and scaling what works — inside Capgemini and with clients who are done pretending.

33,000+ people follow along. 
If you're serious about making AI actually work, welcome.

Most CEOs are measuring AI adoption.

Hardly any of them are measuring if humans can actually work with it.

92% of AI pilots hit their success metrics. 
68% of enterprise rollouts get abandoned within 18 months.

The pattern is everywhere: Small teams thrive with AI. 
Scale it company-wide and watch productivity crater.

Companies obsess over deployment speed, usage rates, and feature adoption.
 
Meanwhile, their people are burning out trying to collaborate with systems that actively fight them.

I've spent three years studying why this happens.

𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻-𝗔𝗜 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗮 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗿.

It's measurable through four validated dimensions:

→ 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: Is the solution accurate, fast, and well-designed?
→ 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁: Do you know when to rely on it?
→ 𝗖𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗮𝗱: How much mental energy does collaboration cost?
→ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Does friction affect you and do you feel safe?

The difference between AI as a productivity hack and AI as a genuine capability multiplier comes down to chemistry.

Pilots succeed because motivated volunteers self-select for good chemistry.

Enterprise rollouts fail because you're forcing collaboration on people who have terrible chemistry with the system.

You can't scale bad chemistry with better change management.
You can't fix it with more training.
You need to engineer for chemistry from day one.

Most organizations are optimizing for the wrong metrics and wondering why their billion-dollar AI investments plateau.

What would change if you measured chemistry instead of adoption?

Global AI Upskilling Lead | Creator of the Human-AI Chemistry Index | Chief AI Strategist @ Global AI Lab: Turning Future Signals into Sovereign Assets

Most executives are preparing for AI's next phase.

Few are ready for what comes after AI.

Yesterday, the Capgemini Global AI Lab and Quantum Lab joint forces and went out to Mannheim Business School (Germany's #1 Business School for: 

"𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 & 𝗔𝗜: 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆". 

An executive session that delivered what leaders actually need: 
practical insights and frameworks for emerging technology advantage.

This collaboration marks a milestone in bringing AI and Quantum technologies together. 

When practitioners across emerging tech domains unite with executives eager to increase their impact, breakthrough thinking accelerates. And this is just the beginning.

We focused on three critical fronts:

1. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸

The hype cycle is ending. The capability-building phase has begun.

67% of enterprises are still measuring AI adoption metrics. 
Less than 30% are measuring business value creation. 
Leaders need frameworks for distinguishing between AI theater and AI transformation in their specific context.

2. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗜 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁

We're moving from AI that responds to AI that orchestrates work.

This isn't just technical evolution. 
It's a fundamental change in how value gets created, how decisions flow through organizations, and how competitive advantage compounds.

The enterprises preparing now will own the agentic advantage.

3. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘇𝗼𝗻

Quantum advantage isn't decades away. 
It's arriving in problem-specific waves.

Supply chain optimization. Portfolio risk modeling. Drug discovery pathways. 

The question isn't if quantum computing will disrupt your industry, but which problems it will solve first and who will control those solutions.

The most valuable part wasn't the technology roadmaps.

It was working with practitioners who immediately think business translation and value creation. 
No theoretical abstractions. 
No research for research's sake.

Just rigorous analysis of what these technologies mean for competitive positioning in the next 3-5 years.

The executives asked the questions that matter: 

How do we build quantum-AI capability before we need it? 
What partnerships position us for convergence? 
Which gaps threaten our readiness?

When labs collaborate beyond institutional walls, transformation happens faster than anyone expects.

Franziska Wolff & Philipp Scholz thank you for the fantastic collab!

#ESSECMannheim26

2026 won't be the year of AI scale.
It will be the year we learn that scale requires chemistry.

Enterprises will pour billions into AI in 2026.

Most of it will fund expensive shelfware.
The culprit? We're measuring the wrong thing.

Wharton just released their Wave 3 GenAI report:

88% of leaders expect budget increases.
80% expect payoff within 2-3 years.
Enterprise adoption is accelerating.

Their prescription for 2026 success?

"Training, hiring, and rollout approaches are key human capital aspects that need to be addressed."

That's it. 
That's the human-side strategy.

Meanwhile:

→ 95% of AI pilots fail to reach production (MIT)
→ 42% of companies abandoned most AI initiatives this year (S&P Global)
→ 75% of employees lack confidence using AI tools
→ 63% cite human factors as their primary implementation challenge

We keep measuring the technology. We keep ignoring the connection.

Here's what I've learned building AI capability at scale:

The problem isn't adoption --> It's readiness.
The gap isn't training hours --> It's cognitive load.
The failure isn't the model --> It's the friction.

High-performing Human-AI systems share four traits:

𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 that delivers accurate outputs.
𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 that's calibrated—neither blind nor absent.
𝗖𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗮𝗱 that releases mental bandwidth, not consumes it.
𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 that stays below the abandonment threshold.

When these align, value compounds.
When they don't, you get shelfware with a budget line.

Measure what matters.

While Davos debates AI regulation, the leaders are already building AI resilience.

The multi-year AI advantage isn't coming. 

It's here.

I helped create Capgemini Research Institute's latest report - "The multi-year AI advantage: Building the enterprise of tomorrow" - and the data from 1,500+ leaders across 15 countries reveals why the quarterly thinking dominating Davos discussions misses the point entirely.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘁-𝘁𝗼-𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗴𝗮𝗽 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴:

→ 38% have already operationalized Gen AI use cases at enterprise scale
→ AI budgets jumping from 3% to 5% of annual business spend in 2026
→ 67% cite strong executive sponsorship as critical to success
→ 54% prioritizing data sovereignty as competitive advantage
→ 6 in 10 redefining entire skillsets and investing in upskilling

But here's what separates the leaders building sustainable advantage from those chasing pilots.

𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 
𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

66% of organizations report measurable improvements through human-AI collaboration. 

They understand that sustainable AI advantage requires chemistry, not just capability.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧-𝐀𝐈 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞

The enterprises still running proof-of-concepts think they can copy-paste their way to competitive advantage. 

They can't.

Multi-year AI advantage compounds like interest. 

Every quarter of delay isn't just lost time - it's lost organizational learning, lost workforce adaptation, lost competitive intelligence that cannot be replicated.

While Davos focuses on what AI might become, these organizations are building what AI delivers: transformed enterprises with resilient, adaptable capabilities.

Incredible work by the team at Capgemini Research Institute. They delivered this essential research with impeccable timing for the leaders gathering in Davos. 

A special shout-out to my fantastic colleagues, Mark Roberts and Robert (Dr Bob) Engels, for contributing insights that will serve as inspiration for everyone.
Their insights will define how enterprises approach AI strategy in the years ahead.

Three numbers that should terrify every content creator:

• 79% CTR drop when AI Overviews appear
• 69% of searches now end without a single click
• 1% of users click links inside AI summaries

The traffic-based internet is dying. 
And AI is writing the obituary.

It's a fundamental restructuring of value flow on the internet.

If your business depends on humans clicking through to your site, you're no longer selling to customers.

And every car company is about to feel it.

The Alpamayo announcement at CES wasn't just another self-driving upgrade.
It's the moment autonomy started exposing its "thought process" in ways humans can understand.

Old approach: "If pedestrian detected, then brake."
Alpamayo approach: "That person looks distracted, checking their phone, approaching the crosswalk at an unusual angle. 
I should slow down and prepare for unpredictable movement."

Vision-heavy, end-to-end learning was always the right bet.
While competitors added more sensors and hand-crafted logic, Tesla doubled down on teaching cars to see and behave like human drivers.

NVIDIA just made Tesla's approach the industry standard.

Autonomy doesn't fail at 80% or 90% accuracy.
It fails at 99%.

That last 1% - the weird edge cases no engineer anticipated - is where reasoning beats rules.

And where human-AI interaction becomes critical.

If the model can explain why it's slowing, swerving, or yielding, humans can debug and improve instead of guessing at a black box.

𝗕𝗨𝗧 𝗡𝗩𝗜𝗗𝗜𝗔'𝗦 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗠𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗞𝗘

They opened Alpamayo as a reasoning stack others can build on - while keeping the best performance bound to their platform.

This is Google's Android playbook for autonomy.

Democratize the software patterns, own the compute underneath.
Every car manufacturer can use the reasoning stack, but the fastest path runs on NVIDIA's hardware and cloud.

While AMD scrambles with Ryzen AI 400 and Samsung promises "AI Living," NVIDIA just positioned itself as the default brain for autonomous vehicles.

Your environment is about to get smart.
Not just connected - but filled with systems whose internal logic is increasingly exposed and shaped by humans in real time.

Ray Dalio calls this an AI bubble, but bubbles don't come with hard safety cases and robot fleets operating under physics.

Physical AI is where abstraction ends and interaction with the real world becomes the bottleneck.

Software can scale infinitely.
Physical intelligence has to work in three dimensions, with consequences.

This paper matters more than DeepSeek-V3 did.

"mHC: Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections" isn't just research.
It's DeepSeek's blueprint for building frontier AI on a budget that would embarrass Silicon Valley.

While everyone else throws billions at bigger compute, they're rewriting the efficiency playbook.

Here's what this means for your strategy:

𝗧𝗛𝗘 "𝗢𝗨𝗧𝗦𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗗 𝗧𝗢 𝗪𝗜𝗡" 𝗘𝗥𝗔 𝗜𝗦 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥

DeepSeek has access to fewer H100s than OpenAI buys in a week.
Their response? Architectural innovation that makes every chip work exponentially harder.

This paper shows how they're squeezing frontier performance from constrained hardware.
The uncomfortable truth: throwing money at AI problems is becoming a luxury, not a requirement.

𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗙𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝗩𝟯 𝗪𝗔𝗦

DeepSeek-V3 proved they could compete on performance.
This paper shows they're rethinking the underlying architecture itself.

Manifold-constrained hyper-connections aren't incremental improvements.
They're a fundamentally different approach to how neural networks learn and scale.

DeepSeek-V3 was the product. This is the engine that powers what comes next.

When you can't outspend competitors, you have to outthink them.
The result: architectural breakthroughs that make expensive compute optional.

When capable AI becomes commoditized - and it's happening fast - the strategic advantage shifts.

It's not which model you license.
It's how effectively your organization absorbs AI capability.

This is the Chemistry Index: measuring your human system's readiness to work with AI, not just the AI's power.

Most companies are optimizing for model selection.
Winners in 2026 will optimize for organizational integration.

Google Principal Engineer Jaana Dogan dropped this reality check yesterday:

Anthropic's Claude Code generated a distributed agent orchestration system in 60 minutes.

The same problem Google had been working on since last year.

Not perfect. 
But comparable.

And that's before the feedback loop.

Boris Cherny, Claude Code's creator, revealed the multiplier: 
Enable the tool to self-check its work.
That iterative process doubles or triples output quality.

Think about it. 
An AI writing code, then reviewing its own code, then improving it. 
Automatically.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗼. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝗮 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁.

Your engineering capacity just expanded beyond traditional project planning assumptions.

Complex system architecture that previously required months of senior engineer time? Now takes days.
Proof-of-concept development that consumed entire quarters? Done in weeks.
Technical debt that's been sitting in your backlog for years? Finally addressable.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱.

It's knowing what problems are worth solving.
It's architectural decision-making.
It's understanding how systems integrate with your business logic.

Your best engineers won't be replaced by AI. 
They'll be freed from the grunt work to focus on what actually drives value: strategy, optimization, and solving the edge cases that matter.

That's human-AI chemistry working beautifully in action. 

But this only works if you recalibrate what you expect from your teams.

Stop planning like it's 2023. 
Start asking for solutions that seemed impossible six months ago.

The era of 'AI for productivity' is ending. 

The era of 'AI for Strategy' has begun.

Six months ago, AI helped your team draft acquisition memos.
Today, it's challenging your portfolio strategy and stress-testing your market assumptions.

Our latest Capgemini Research Institute study "Inside the C-Suite" proves the data is now undeniable.

We're entering the 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗘𝗿𝗮 - where AI becomes your strategic sparring partner.

1️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 "𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿" 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁

AI moved from execution to thinking.

→ From drafting to critiquing strategies
→ From summarizing to stress-testing scenarios  
→ From supporting to exposing blind spots

78% of CXOs expect to use AI for strategic thinking within 3 years.

2️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗘𝗢 𝗚𝗮𝗽

CEOs use AI for decision-making nearly 2x more than other C-suite roles.
The top is moving faster than the middle.

While you're optimizing workflows, your competition is reimagining entire business models.

3️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘅

We trust the technology. We don't trust our guardrails.

67% say governance protocols would unlock strategic AI usage.
34% have actually built them.

This gap is your biggest bottleneck to value.

4️⃣ 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻-𝗔𝗜 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆

The competitive advantage isn't your model.

It's knowing when to lean in and when to step back.

→ AI excels at pattern recognition in familiar territory
→ Humans excel at judgment calls in uncharted waters
→ The value multiplies in the seamless handoff between them

The leaders who win won't be prompt engineers.

They'll be architects of decision-making systems where humans and AI collaborate seamlessly.

This is the future we're building with enterprises ready to compete on chemistry, not just capability.

When was the last time you let AI challenge your 5-year strategy?

Their final song? "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles.

The exact same song that launched MTV on August 1st, 1981.

Technology doesn't just evolve - it cannibalizes itself with poetic precision.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗜𝗥𝗢𝗡𝗬 𝗜𝗦 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚

MTV didn't just broadcast music videos. 
It created the template for how each generation of media kills its predecessor while birthing its own replacement.

Video killed radio. 
Streaming killed broadcast. 
Algorithms killed curation.
Each convinced it would be different. 
Each eventually consuming its own relevance.

It's the end of shared cultural gatekeeping and the beginning of personalized cultural isolation.

𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗔𝗠𝗘 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗟

MTV didn't just show music videos. 
It decided which stories an entire generation experienced together. 

The platform amplified voices that radio systematically ignored.
 It created visual representation for artists who looked different, came from different places, told different stories.

They were curatorial choices with cultural consequence.

𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗖𝗨𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗢 𝗔𝗟𝗚𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗛𝗠

Now your next song is determined by data points from your last hundred plays. 
Engagement metrics optimize for retention, not revelation.

Personalized feeds give you more of what you already consume, less of what might challenge or change you. 
Art becomes data. 
Discovery becomes prediction. 
Cultural moments become individual consumption patterns.

We gained infinite choice and lost serendipitous discovery.
We got perfect personalization and lost shared cultural experiences.
We optimized for individual satisfaction and lost collective cultural evolution.

The algorithm doesn't care if you see someone who looks like you succeed. It cares if you stay engaged. There's a difference between giving people what they want and showing them what they need to see.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗟 𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗦

MTV's shutdown isn't about nostalgia for music videos.

It's about the fundamental shift from broadcast culture to algorithmic culture. 
From curators who took creative risks to systems that minimize them. 
From platforms that shaped cultural taste to feeds that reflect it back without challenge.

The Buggles predicted their own obsolescence. 
"Video Killed the Radio Star" was both celebration and eulogy.

But what kills the video? 
Data does. 

And what kills human curation? 
Algorithmic optimization does.

Technology doesn't just change how we consume culture. 
It determines whose culture gets consumed, whose stories get amplified, whose art gets discovered.

We're not just changing how we find music. 
We're changing how culture finds us.
