According to Deloitte's 2026 State of Generative AI in the Enterprise report, while many organizations are seeing productivity gains from AI, only 34% are using it to fundamentally transform their business.

AI won’t transform your business if you’re still running it the same way

AI transformation fails when companies use new technology to automate old processes rather than aligning incentives, management and workflows to the future.

National AI Day is a good reminder that the conversation around AI is no longer just about the technology. It's about whether today's workforce is prepared to work alongside it. AI is changing how we solve problems, make decisions, and create value across every industry.

Corporate reputation isn't built the way it used to be. It used to be that companies could shape their reputation through press releases, marketing campaigns, and media coverage. Today, people are paying just as much attention to what companies do as to what they say.

In a time when decisions are often made under intense public scrutiny, it can be tempting to choose the safest path or avoid difficult conversations altogether.

One of the most rewarding parts of my first year teaching has been realizing just how much I learn from my students.

People strategy is increasingly becoming business strategy. Culture is no longer viewed as a standalone initiative or a set of values posted on a wall.

We are operating in a world where trust has become one of the most valuable assets an organization can possess and one of the easiest to lose. That is where communications becomes a strategic advantage.

I launched Neptune & Co. because I believe business is facing a real crisis of leadership courage. Too many organizations speak about values and purpose until those values are tested by pressure, controversy, or risk. Leadership is not about performative statements.

AI readiness is becoming just as important as traditional job qualifications for many early career roles. This is not really about teaching people how to use a specific AI tool.
