Most organizations aren’t suffering from a shortage of ideas. They’re suffering from solving the wrong problem first.

You’ve probably experienced it. A team works hard, executes well, and still feels like progress is slower than it should be. Often the effort isn’t the issue. The target is.

I’ve started using AI before important conversations—not to find answers, but to test my assumptions.

Then I close the laptop.

Because the real conversation still happens with people.

One practical habit has helped me. Before discussing solutions, I ask one question:

‘How do we know we’re solving the right problem?’

Beyond every visible problem is usually a deeper opportunity.
