We\u2019re going through a fundamental shift, and we\u2019re just at the beginning of it, which means we\u2019re seeing the challenge of core assumptions that have worked for the last 30 years and the creation of new assumptions emerging. <\/p>\n

The last issues have been quite dense, and I want to give you a bit of a recap to navigate the various tools, mental models, and frameworks you can leverage and clarify some of the developing assumptions for this era. <\/p>\n

In the end, it\u2019s all about having a \u201cstructural understanding\u201d of the new ground that develops as the foundation of an ecosystem that is just springing up. <\/p>\n

In AI is Eating SaaS,<\/a><\/strong> <\/a>I\u2019ve explained how AI is quickly and inexorably changing entire verticals, <\/span>breaking these \u201cnarrow commercial use case silos\u201d into a single unified outcome-based use case.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The key thing to understand is the shift from traditional software to autonomous agents. <\/p>\n

Which is cascading back, in the business world, by breaking potential silos into a much broader commercial use case. <\/p>\n

There, I\u2019ve introduced the concept of \u201cThe Business Architect.\u201d<\/p>\n

From there, key underlying assumptions emerge, which you will use as the \u201ccore beliefs\u201d to navigate that time. <\/p>\n

As these core beliefs get shaped up, these become \u201chard truths\u201d for that paradigm.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

These will become the fundamental truths around which the whole ecosystem will operate.<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

And these will last as long as the underlying foundational tech is relevant and dominant.<\/strong><\/p>\n
