Notes on communication in change, employer branding in technical sectors, and the energy transition as it actually lands in the field.
Almost thirty years ago, Michael Porter wrote that operational effectiveness isn't strategy. Now that everyone has access to the same AI tools, that insight is more relevant than ever — the playing field is levelling, which makes positioning the only real differentiator left.
AI makes it easier than ever to sound like your competitor. A company without sharp positioning doesn't become less visible — it becomes invisible.
