Complex orchestration
Part 3/3: The coherent vision and leadership that AI lacks | New series: The unautomatable edge
We were promised a world where AI would make work obsolete.
It's a lie.
AI doesn't remove the need for human talent; it simply raises the stakes.
For every task AI automates, it creates a new, more valuable human role. The future of your business isn't about the tools you use; it's about the people you hire to wield them.
The next era of wealth won't be built on AI, but on the back of the people AI cannot replace.
We've established that AI excels at generating the components—the 80%. But the true crucible of value, the ultimate differentiator, lies in the final 20% where all the disparate threads must converge into a unified, impactful reality.
This is the domain of complex orchestration, a function that remains stubbornly and fundamentally human.
AI can play a thousand instruments simultaneously, but it cannot compose a symphony, conduct an ensemble, or imbue it with soul.
