Everything here is free to read and share. A field guide for the founder, owner, or CEO; position pieces for boards; talk recaps; and the papers from earlier work, 2010 to today. Each one names its sources.

From Oversight to Foresight: a board’s work in an age of AI
AI multiplies the options in front of a board, not the quality of its judgment. Three questions, one rule, and five things a board can hold management to. Every claim footnoted.

An evening about the difference between where you’ve been and where you’re going, and why only one of them is a story. The recap, the web deck, and the two takeaway pages.
Keynotes and workshops, and how to check a date: Speaking.
Customer experience and store design, from the years when that was the front line. Kept here because the thinking still holds; the examples are of their time.
The position piece above is also a LinkedIn article, and shorter pieces appear there first: linkedin.com/in/mikewittenstein.
How this site is written, and where every claim comes from: How we use AI and Sources.
No prep. No deck. No pitch.
