Conway’s Law: Your Operating Model Matters More Than The AI Model
💡
Key Takeaway
AI deployments that skip operating model redesign don't fail because of the technology – they fail because agents inherit and accelerate every broken workflow, silo, and accountability gap already present in the organization. The platform choice is secondary; how work is structured, governed, and composed around reusable capabilities determines whether AI compounds value or just automates existing dysfunction at scale. Before your next AI budget conversation, ask whether your operating model is built for where you're going or whether you're about to spend real money encoding where you've been.
