What Christopher said — indexed claims

  • The most exciting evolution of strategic insights is using AI-augmented analytical and role-play simulation to construct alternate futures and starting points — sorting hundreds of scenarios down to the five or ten that matter is a perfect use case for the new tools. — Ep. 47 · 40:00 · cl-christopher-khoury-019
  • In 2026 the insights professional's special skill is no longer evidence-gathering — there is no shortage of analysis, journalism, or podcasts — but weaving the abundance through the lens of an organization's own strategic options, culture, and definition of success. — Ep. 47 · 33:50 · cl-christopher-khoury-015
  • When building a strategic insights function from nothing in a long-established organization, saying yes far more often than no — to projects, to other departments' problems — is the path to earning a seat at the table. — Ep. 47 · 08:00 · cl-christopher-khoury-003
  • In healthcare market intelligence, the customer is rarely the person in front of you and the buyer rarely the person signing the contract — clinical outcomes are shaped by economic, social, technological, and policy stakeholders with conflicting incentives, and intelligence systems must hold all of them at once. — Ep. 47 · 11:30 · cl-christopher-khoury-005
  • Stop assuming new technological implementations are slam-dunk productivity wins — the people who do the work are the most valuable asset, and the seductive promise of a productivity-frontier step-change must be evaluated for the harm it does to them first. — Ep. 47 · 37:35 · cl-christopher-khoury-017
  • Large institutions are aircraft carriers and startups are speedboats — both are boats, but docking them is the real work; the dialogue is more valuable than the corporate partnership that may not materialize. — Ep. 47 · 14:35 · cl-christopher-khoury-007
  • AI in healthcare is a sociotechnical system, not a set of products — the technologies operate inside complex social environments and require different questions than purely technical evaluation supplies. — Ep. 47 · 37:50 · cl-christopher-khoury-011
