📈 AI pricing remains one of the most important conversations facing enterprise leaders today.

As AI evolves from a technology tool into a business capability, organizations are rethinking how they evaluate value, investment, and outcomes.

Three key takeaways from this discussion:

🏆 AI success should be measured by business impact, not technical consumption metrics alone.

💰 Pricing models will continue to evolve as organizations gain greater clarity on how AI creates value across the enterprise.

🔭 Strong governance, clear objectives, and executive accountability remain the foundation of successful AI adoption.

Appreciate Evan Schuman for including our perspective in this timely conversation about the future of enterprise AI. Check out his latest ComputerWorld article titled, "The AI pricing conundrum - it started as a nightmare, now it’s worse."

⚠️ Cyber threats target people and exploit human emotion, not just system vulnerabilities.

📱 I received an SMS phishing attempt today (one of hundreds per week) impersonating the Illinois Secretary of State and using urgency, fear, and legal language to drive action. This is exactly how modern social engineering works - exploit trust, create pressure, and trigger a reaction before verification.

A few Wednesday-worthy reminders:

👆 Never click links in unexpected text messages
✔️ Verify requests through official channels
🚩 Treat urgency as a red flag, not a call to action
📨 These sorts of attacks extend far beyond email

Cybersecurity is no longer just a tech issue. It’s a leadership, operational, and human-risk issue.

I’m honored to be named a 2026 Top Consultant by Consulting Magazine. That said, recognition like this is never individual. It reflects the leaders and teams I’ve had the privilege to work with over the years - people who have invested in me, guided me, and lit the way when it was darkest. They also taught me the nobility of the profession and the fulfillment of helping others achieve their dreams...I carry their lessons with every client I serve.

And if there’s one thing I’ve learned in helping my clients over the last 25 years, it’s this: most organizations don’t struggle with knowing what to do. The real challenge is turning that into something that actually works - at scale, under pressure, on budget, and over time.

That’s the problem I’ve spent my career focused on. And it’s one of the many reasons that led me to start acceligence.

We’re building a different kind of consulting model - pairing deep expertise with AI to help leaders get to better answers faster, without sacrificing judgment or rigor. The pace of change isn’t slowing down, and how organizations get help needs to evolve with it.

Grateful for the journey - and even more motivated for what’s ahead.
