Organizations treat AI like projects with finish lines, but AI keeps evolving. You need to pause regularly to reflect and adjust, not declare victory and move on. The way you build products will keep changing.
And I think that sometimes, especially when we're reporting into boards, sometimes I think they think, you know, come Q4, we should be fine, or, you know, whatever that is. And I don't think there's a finish line here. There is a stop and pause and reflect, and let's see how we have done and where are our improvements, where are areas that we can celebrate. Assuming that this will be done at a certain time, I think is something that we as humans, because we're used to having that kind of mentality, like we'll set a goal for ourselves. We're going to achieve this much revenue. We're going to get this many sales, this many contracts, and there's a number to it and it ends. But when we're thinking about the integration of AI and its new evolution of how we work, how we have outputs of our products, I mean, it completely changes everything. But it does require us to shift our process in that there isn't a spot in time where it's over, 'cause AI will also continue to change and evolve. So, it's almost like we need reminders of that growth mindset as opposed to a fixed mindset in this space.
