Use AI differently to address your bad, good and great work

To be read whilst listening to "Bad to the Bone" by George Thorogood and the Destroyers

Many years ago, business coach 📚Michael Bungay Stanier taught me the idea of thinking of your work in three categories - bad, good and great. A while ago, I had the epiphany that this is a very helpful way of thinking about how AI helps individuals work, especially Generative AI and Agentic AI. My awesome colleagues Dr. Daniel ZY SUN, Liz P. and I have just published a note on this. If you are a Gartner client, the link to the research is in the first comment below. #unask #unthink #unlearn #AI
