AI Strategy, Organizational Knowledge & Digital Leadership

Madam I'm Adam is a weekly newsletter on AI, organizational knowledge, and leading in the Integration Era. New essays publish weekly at adammonago.com.

It may be mismeasurement. This diagnostic gives you five questions to audit which progress signals still count.

Madam I’m Adam is built around a connected set of concepts for thinking about AI and organizational learning. Here are a few worth knowing.

Organizational MetabolismThe rhythm at which an institution can absorb external change and integrate it into lasting behavior.
Cognitive DebtThe liability that accumulates when teams adopt new tools and workflows faster than they can actually master them.
