Happy New Year...back from Hiatus

Hope everyone had a great break over the Christmas and New Year’s Holidays. I was lucky enough to get three weeks off with my family and be able to mostly disconnect.

We have some cool things planned for our Digital Data Design Institute at Harvard and I can’t wait to share them with you as they come to fruition. And some pretty awesome research is also in the works with my most excellent collaborators and colleagues.

Today marks the 3rd anniversay of “Competing in the Age of AI” - book that I coauthored with my friend and mentor Marco Iansiti - also at HBS. This culminated about 7 years of research and teaching that we undertook at HBS and in many ways we thought we were early with the pronoucements we made but had certainty on the shape of things to come with AI and business. Boy, did we underestimate the changes being wrought about by Generative AI and ChatGPT. The book still provides a good guide for how leaders and managers need to change their perspectives and frames around AI and how its not about AI but about business and organization. Let me know if any of you have read the book and your reflections on it. <Yeah we are thinking about the sequel - but we need to do a lot more research!>

Wishing all of you the best for the coming new year and sending good vibes that all of your hopes and plans get the extra omph to get them over the finish line!
