“Where should we add AI?” is the wrong question
If AI had existed on day one, you would rebuild the workflow. That is AI theatre versus an AI-Native enterprise.

I keep getting the same question: “Where should we add AI?”
Wrong question.
If AI had existed when your company was designed, you would not bolt a chatbot onto a twenty-year-old workflow. You would rebuild the workflow.
That is the difference between AI theatre and an AI-Native enterprise.
Theatre looks busy. Copilot licences on the same broken process. Pilots that never leave the lab. Six months of strategy. Another platform, another dependency.
None of that is transformation until something is in production, owned by your team, and changing how the work actually gets done.
We have already lived through mobile, cloud, and data. The companies that win this wave will stop buying features and start building the company they actually need.
We build the AI-Native enterprise.
Strategy that ends in production.
The longer argument lives on the thesis page: What is an AI-Native enterprise?
