I really like this approach and I can confirm that it also works in my context. I wonder though how much is this AI-specific vs. general way of making products. The second thought - learnings in AI are crucial; the field is so fresh that by playing with it you can find many applications that no one has thought about before. Moreover, there are capabilities which are AI specific, ie in a traditional world you wouldn’t thought it’s even possible to do something (ergo you wouldn’t put that on roadmap beforehand)

This resonates so deeply with my approach to digital transformation! The best innovations often come when we stop trying to control everything - something I learned the hard way while leading e-commerce platforms across publishing and retail industries.

That part about treating uncertainty as a garden really hit home. When I automated business operations with AI, our biggest breakthroughs happened in those unstructured moments between formal meetings. Turns out, innovation doesn't care about our carefully planned schedules D:

Here's what I've noticed in digital leadership: The more we create space for "beautiful surprises," the more innovative our solutions become.
