Strategy in the Face of Chaos

Show Notes

This pilot audio edition explores the argument behind Untether AI’s speedAI 240 Slim: Advancing Energy-Efficient AI Solutions for Edge Applications. The discussion examines one of the central constraints in AI inference: the energy and latency involved in moving data between memory and processing units. Untether AI addresses this through its At-Memory Compute architecture, placing computation close to the data to improve throughput, reduce latency and lower power consumption. It considers why...

This pilot audio edition explores the argument behind No, You Can’t Budget Your Way to a Strategy. The discussion examines why revenue, margin and cost targets do not constitute a strategy. Budgets and financial models can express ambition, test affordability and expose unrealistic assumptions. They cannot explain why customers will buy, what is preventing better performance or which capabilities the business must develop. It explores strategy as a form of problem solving. This begins with fr...

This pilot audio edition explores the argument behind If You Were Founding Your Business Today, Would You Build It the Same Way? The discussion examines how AI is changing the economics of building companies and products. Software can be developed and tested faster, while teams across marketing, analysis, support and other functions can experiment and create value with fewer traditional constraints. It asks whether established businesses would choose the same products, structures, processes a...
