Ampersand

At Ampersand, we’re always searching for fresh perspectives that drive genuine change. Currently, our book club is reading Dan Sullivan's 10x is Easier Than 2x, and one idea has really resonated: making the pie bigger. This concept challenges us to widen the scope of opportunity rather than competing for a limited share. It encourages us to push our boundaries, experiment with bold ideas, and invest in deeper, more meaningful relationships. It’s a reminder that growth can come from creating new possibilities. ✨ We're committed to exploring fresh perspectives that open new pathways for #growth and #transformation. By embracing ideas that encourage pushing boundaries and uncovering untapped potential, we'll continue to shape a future where growth is driven by creativity and shared success. #Innovation #GrowthMindset #Collaboration #BookClub

💯 Some good insights here from our friends at Salesforce! AI is full of potential, but without strategy and integration, it’s like building a car with no steering wheel—fast but directionless. We see this often: organizations rush to deploy AI without aligning it to core business goals, leading to high costs and limited impact. AI success starts with asking the right questions, setting clear objectives, and ensuring all components are in sync.

🚀 We know you’re using AI—but how often? 🤖 From brainstorming to automating the boring stuff, AI is creeping into daily workflows everywhere. So, be honest—how many are you handing off to AI each day? Vote in our poll and let’s compare notes! 👇 #AI #WorkSmarter #TechTrends

Skeptics make the best believers. Not because they resist change—but because they demand proof. The best innovations aren’t built on blind optimism. They’re stress-tested by people who challenge assumptions, question the hype, and force us to refine our thinking. Think about it: 💡 The lightbulb? Laughed at. 📡 Wireless communication? Called impossible. 📱 Smartphones? “Why would anyone need that?” Now? We can’t live without them. Skepticism isn’t a barrier—it’s a filter. It separates the noise from the real signals of change. The question is: are you willing to follow the evidence? Because today’s skeptics? They become tomorrow’s believers. 👉 What’s one innovation you once doubted but now can’t live without?

AI is no longer a futuristic concept—it’s an essential part of the business landscape, reshaping how we work. 🛠️ But here’s the real shift: AI isn’t just about technology; it’s about enabling people to perform at their highest potential. 🏃♀️➡️ In my current work with clients, we’re approaching AI as a strategic partner, not a tool. It’s about integrating it in ways that enhance human performance—freeing up time for teams to focus on the high-value, creative work that drives innovation. AI can’t replace the brilliance of human ingenuity, but it can empower it. 🧠 The true power of AI lies in its ability to amplify the skills, ideas, and capabilities we already have. ⚡ Right now, we're in a crucial phase where agentic workflows are taking productivity to the next level. 🔥 These workflows leverage AI to automatically trigger actions, streamline communication, and create smoother handoffs, all while keeping humans in the decision-making loop. It’s the perfect balance of human judgment and AI efficiency, enabling teams to stay agile and responsive. 🙌 This isn’t about automating tasks—it’s about unlocking the full potential of both people and technology. We’re at a pivotal moment where businesses must see AI as an enabler of smarter, more agile teams, better decision-making, and deeper, more human-centered outcomes. 🌟 AI’s role in business isn’t about replacing jobs; it’s about enhancing human work and bringing out the best in us. This is the future we need to build—together. How are you leveraging AI to unlock the next level of human performance? 🦾 #AIinBusiness #HumanCenteredAI. #AgenticWorkflows #TechForPeople #AIandHumanPerformance
