CEO MasterMind

► The CEO MasterMind brand concept was born as an Executive MBA thesis about a significant gap in the marketplace; top-level marketing, sales, finance, and strategy development tools never make it to start-ups, 6- 8, and even most 9-figure businesses.
► We fight business failure and stagnant growth by enabling business owners, entrepreneurs, and intrapreneurs with P&L responsibility to grow and scale their business with proven tools and frameworks from Fortune 500 companies and business schools, our alma mater training ground. All without the cost of the traditional ultra-high-cost consultancies that do not offer accountability and long-term implementation. 
► CEOMasterMind.ai (application required) is the world’s first Super-MasterMind, combining the power and benefits of a mastermind/advisory group with an ongoing expert consultant (human & AI-powered) to connect the hidden levers of growth with the installation of our proprietary CAMR Operating Systems (Strategic Clarity, Accountability, Momentum, and Results).

AI Isn’t the End of Work; It Should Be the Beginning of the Best Economic Model in Human History

Every day, we’re bombarded with headlines like:
“AI will replace 50% of jobs.”
“The economy is doomed.”
“Prepare for collapse.”

Here’s the part nobody says out loud:
- An economy with 50% unemployment cannot function.  
- A +10–15% GDP long-term boom isn’t sustainable either.
- The truth is far more intelligent, and far more hopeful and helpful!

For the first time in human history, we have the tools to intentionally design an economic system that creates:
- Strong, stable GDP growth
- A healthier population
- Lower burnout
- More time for family, community, purpose
- And more meaningful work, not less

This inspired me to write my latest newsletter, a piece I’ve thought about for months, based on my own journey and my recent Harvard AI course.

It’s not doom.
It’s not hype.

It’s a vision, grounded in economics and history, for what the next 100+ years could look like if we choose wisely.

If you’ve ever wondered: Is there a better way to build the future?”

This one is for you.

Let’s build a future worth living by design, not by default (a concept I learned from one of my favourite authors, Greg McKeown).

Agentic AI Insight #5 → Why Most AI Pilots Fail Before They Even Start

After four weeks in this Harvard Agentic AI course, one fact has become impossible to ignore:
Most AI pilots fail long before they ever get deployed.

Not because the tech doesn’t work (businesses honestly don't need ANY more models, but I understand there is a technology race going on).

Not because teams lack enthusiasm.
Not because budgets are too small.

They fail because the starting point is wrong.

Companies begin with tools, not systems.
With excitement, not architecture.

With “let’s try something” instead of “let’s understand something.”

And that’s why more than 90% of AI and Agentic AI initiatives never make it past the pilot stage.

Here’s the uneasy truth:
You can’t fix a pilot that was designed on top of a broken workflow.

It’s like installing a jet engine on a bicycle and wondering why you’re still not moving fast enough (I couldn't help myself to generate an image).

Agentic/AI exposes every weak link in an organization’s operating model:
- missing data
- unclear decisions
- inconsistent rules
- human exceptions that nobody has ever written down
- undocumented policies
- siloed systems
- tribal knowledge held in people’s heads

If the foundation is weak, the agent collapses under the weight of ambiguity.
The problem isn’t capability.
It’s chaos disguised as “process.”

What Harvard is drilling into us is this:
Agentic AI amplifies whatever system you already have: clarity or confusion.
That’s why the most common failure point isn't in Month 3, it's Month 0!

The winners take a clear & different path. 
They:
1. Start with VSM, not vendors.
Run value stream maps to expose reality:
What is the actual workflow?
What decisions are made?
By whom?
Based on what information?
Most companies don’t know. They only think they know.

2. Make the hidden work visible.
You can’t automate steps you can’t see.
Every exception, nuance, and judgment call must be surfaced.
Otherwise, the agent will hallucinate to fill the gaps.
It takes time to do this work.

3. Define the outcome before the system.
The goal isn’t “let’s try AI.”
The goal is “increase throughput,” “reduce cycle time,” or “eliminate error categories.”
Technology follows outcomes. Not the other way around.

4. Build a “human–tech–human” loop.
This statement was the analogy my professors loved most.
You redesign work so the sequence becomes:
Human sets intent → Tech executes → Human evaluates and refines.
Humans bookend the system.
Tech fills the middle.

That’s where trust and intelligence grow together.

When pilots fail, it’s not the agent that failed, its the humans who didn't provide the VSM.
It’s the system design leading into the agent that wasn’t engineered for autonomy.

The takeaway is uncomfortable yet simple:
If your workflow is unclear to your people, it will be impossible for your agents (they are machines and operate very literally).

Agentic AI doesn’t fix broken processes.
It reveals them.

Agentic AI Insight #4 → The Hidden Cost of Context Switching (For Humans and Machines)

Like most people, I used to think context switching is just a “productivity issue.”
Lose a bit of focus, take a bit longer to finish a task, yeah, no big deal.

But in the world of Agentic AI?

Context switching actually becomes a strategic risk.

Here’s the part few are talking about on LinkedIn: 
Just like humans, AI agents degrade when they’re forced to jump between tasks without clarity, structure, or continuity (cue VSM design).

The machine equivalent of mental fatigue shows up as:
– higher error rates
– weaker reasoning
– memory drift
– inconsistent outputs
– misaligned decisions
- hallucinations

These outcomes may sound familiar, as they are precisely what happens in human teams overwhelmed by fragmented work.

I used to think context switching only affected people.

Now, after studying Agentic AI in this Harvard course, it’s obvious:

Systems suffer in almost identical ways (because ultimately they are still designed by human input).

The problem isn’t capability.

It’s cognitive overload, whether biological or computational.

In traditional organizations, humans patch the gaps:
1. We ask clarifying questions.
2. We recall past conversations.
3. We “hold it together” through working memory and judgment.

Agents can’t do that unless we design for it.

And most companies aren’t. Hence, the 90%+ implementation failure rate.

Key word is ... design.

Across industries, the same pattern is emerging:

The biggest failures in early agent deployments aren’t technical; they’re architectural (lack of VSM process mapping).

They stem from workflows that assume agents can magically keep context across dozens of steps, tools, & data sources.

They can’t.

Not without a system built around clarity, continuity, & explicit memory.
Humans need to design for it.

Here’s what the best organizations are doing differently:
1. They reduce fragmentation.
Single-purpose workflows outperform “Frankenstein” processes stitched across nine systems.

2. They make context explicit.
Every decision, rule, constraint, & exception becomes machine-readable.
Humans are embedded at critical nodes that require judgment.

3. They design for “low-interruption” execution.
Agents complete full loops, not ping-pong tasks back and forth.

I won’t share how we’re applying this internally for IP reasons, but here’s the key lesson:

A system can only be as intelligent as the continuity you give it.
(And that applies to your teams just as much as your agents.)

If automation makes work faster, Agentic AI makes work flow.

But only if you eliminate the invisible tax of context switching for everyone & everything (computers) involved.

Develop an obsessive focus on VSM, & then you set the fertile foundation for technology to shine as we dream it.

My professors really loved my analogy of a human technology sandwich, which always deploys a "human-tech-human" transformation approach. 
More next time

Agentic AI Insight #6 → The AgentOS Advantage

Here’s something I didn’t fully appreciate until this Harvard course I took:

Most organizations attempt to achieve AI-driven results using a human-centric operating system (me included).

This approach does not scale well.

Traditional operating models rely on meetings, handoffs, approvals, silos, & defined ownership.
It works … until it doesn’t.
It was never designed for systems that can act, decide, & improve in real time, since we've never had this level of technology.

Most of us are at this stage since that's been the historical playbook.

An AgentOS flips the script.

Instead of optimizing workflows for human comprehension, organizations optimize them for autonomous execution, with humans serving as supervisors, decision-makers, & exception-handlers.

The shift looks small on paper.
In practice, however, the impact is big.

Here’s what the Agent OS enables that traditional org structures cannot:
1. Instantly complete tasks w/out bottlenecks.

No stalls. No “who has the file?”
Agents move work from intent → action → outcome with minimal interruption.

2. Knowledge is systematically codified and accessible by agents.

Most companies store knowledge in people’s heads.
Agent-first systems require clarity, codification, & explicit rules.
This alone exposes decades of organizational debt.

3. Decision-making accelerates dramatically for faster outcomes.

Humans debate. Agents calculate.
Your people can finally focus on judgment, creativity, and relationship work, instead of chasing data across 12 systems.

When I joined HFN, we had 21 systems. Today, we have much, much less, but still more to simplify and optimize.  It’s truly hard work and takes time.

4. Continuous workflow improvement, driving ongoing gains.

Humans improve quarterly. Agents improve hourly.

Yesterday I was on a call where the workflow created a website in 41 seconds, which would have taken weeks a couple of years ago. 
Exciting & terrifying.

From weeks to seconds.

Early success cases show that agentic approaches achieve 2–10× productivity, while traditional AI barely moves the needle.

The big lesson from Harvard?

You don’t get agentic performance with a human operating system.
You must redesign the entire OS itself.

This is the part that's hurting my brain today.

An critical thought remains:

If your org chart still controls workflows, you aren’t ready for agents.
If your processes rely on tribal knowledge, you aren’t ready for agents.
If systems need people to connect them, you aren’t ready for agents.

The Agent OS isn’t futuristic.
It’s simply the operating model required for the next era of work.

Those who grasp this shift early will quietly outpace others.

To begin transitioning to an Agent OS, identify one process that could be redesigned for autonomous execution & start with that initiative.

A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step.
And although I’m quite a few steps into this, there is much more to go!
