Where should AI actually change the business?
The strategic question is not where AI can be used, but where it materially changes competitive position, economics or customer value.
Carbon economics is reshaping cost, investment and competitive position
Carbon prices, market mechanisms and policy signals increasingly affect operating economics across sectors and geographies.
Strategic challenges
Where does the customer journey create hidden friction?
The challenge is connecting customer effort and expectations with the processes that create each experience.
When does a price problem actually reflect weak perceived value?
The challenge is separating affordability, reference-price effects and weak value recognition from simple resistance.
POV
An AI feature is not an AI product strategy
Adding intelligence to an existing experience is easy; deciding where AI fundamentally changes the proposition is the harder work.
Culture cannot be communicated into existence; the working system produces it
If incentives, leadership behavior and consequences stay unchanged, cultural transformation is mostly corporate theatre.
Strategic impact
The strongest move may change the game
Competitive strategy can create more value by altering customer choice, economics or market structure than by outperforming rivals on established terms.
Policy direction matters before policy certainty
Strategic decisions often cannot wait for final rules, making the trajectory and range of plausible outcomes more useful than false certainty.
