When AI met Strategy

• Decision contexts are fractal.

• Recognize complex contexts. Use AI as sensors to build situational awareness in complex contexts.

• Recognize complicated contexts. Use AI as actuators to decide and act in them.

The use of AI can be strategic because AI is about making better, faster, cheaper decisions and that lets you Increase your tempo.

Decision contexts can be complicated or complex

In complex contexts, use AI as sensors

Think in terms of systems when deciding where to intervene.

Theory of Constraints tells you to focus on the bottleneck.

Wardley Maps are a nice tool to see the big picture. It might be good to move diagonally up from the bottom-right corner. It should be the axis along which complexity, risk, and reward increase.
