I love this! "Why I hate Brian Solis." 🫶 "His new book Mindshift is…habit-warping. It reads like a train, and I just love the mesmerizing layout of the book. It invites you to DO stuff, connects with you in ways that are smart, clever, and annoyingly impactful." heliade.net/mindshift-wh...

AI isn’t the strategy. It’s the capability. Automation makes yesterday faster. Reinvention creates what’s next. Before you roll out agents + use cases, answer 3 leadership questions: 1) Where are we going? 2) Why does it matter? 3) How will we get there? 👀 briansolis.substack.com/p/ai-isnt-th...

The Mindshift CEOs Can’t Ignore - and why they need a mindset shift now A mindshift is a CEO-level Ctrl+Alt+Delete. It’s a reset of leadership itself. How do you want to reboot? 👉 briansolis.com/2026/01/chie...

In 2026, the next competitive advantage won’t come from adding more AI. It will come from architecting work. The companies that win with AI will build a better way of working... 👉 briansolis.substack.com/p/2026s-real...

In 2025, Jensen Huang famously predicted that IT becomes “HR for AI agents.” Also in 2025, Moderna put agentic AI under the CHRO. Different org charts… same reality. In 2026, “work planning” shifts from org chart to work chart. This triggers a new CIO–CHRO mandate. 👀 youtube.com/shorts/KqHSb...

“We’re not building a phone.” – Steve Jobs This was Steve's masterclass in reframing. In an AI-first world with no playbook, the competitive edge is a beginner’s mind, and the willingness to ask different questions. Please read and subscribe! 👉 briansolis.substack.com/p/were-not-b...

ChatGPT Atlas, Comet, and Edge’s new AI browsers signal a new web: built for agents, not just humans. We’re moving from pages to progress, from SEO to AEO, from clicks to outcomes. Time to build for the agentic age. open.substack.com/pub/briansol...

"Stop hiring humans." That's the headline in one viral ad campaign. This billboard in Times Square however, is just one of many ads popping up with the same message. No customer wakes up hoping to "engage" your AI agent. You can't automate your way to innovation. Source: superproducer (IG)
