Visit listentophil.com ABOUT THIS EPISODE What if the biggest AI risk isn’t moving too fast — but waiting too long for certainty that never arrives? Most CEOs are trying to build a complete AI strategy in a market changing faster than their planning cycle can keep up. Why adaptive capability is becoming more valuable than long-range certainty The hidden organisational cost of waiting for the AI landscape to “settle” A practical framework for making fast, bounded decisions without reckless execution Identify one AI-related decision you’ve been delaying, set a 90-day review point, and move with the information you have today. The Partnership Playbook is the podcast for leaders who want to grow with clarity, create leverage through partnerships, and lead their teams with meaning. Each episode gives you practical insights drawn from two decades of building and backing companies, coaching CEOs, and closing high-value partnerships across industries.
