This made me go back to your amorphous consulting piece which I really love. When I worked in the big 4, the amorphous piece was never defined but it was given away for free. Effectively the job of a relationship partner was to go around talking to clients about the big unknowns and making sure they came to us when those turned into real pieces of work. I loved doing this in tech and telecomms because there was always more change on the horizon - today that means AI. I don't think AI is a great tool for this kind of exploration just yet but the link from exploring ideas to AI tools that can deliver the outcomes is interesting.
Vaguely tried to guess ahead what your SoP reads would be… and then pleasantly surprised to find OG faves Fukuoka and Schumacher and to meet your third, Crawford
Also wet sandwich heuristic a perfect warmup for next week in Bangkok ☀️ Have seen SoP projects’ weedy weedy weeds lead to big big pattern recognition
I’ve been writing the piece today. Thank you again for your thoughts 🙏🙏🙏
This sandwich write-up is beautiful.
🙏🙏🙏
