"if a client is looking for a quick fix and wants me to do that work, it will not be internalized. I fundamentally believe it is in the co-creation of that strategic narrative that the aha is generated. ... Which leads me to recipes." My experiments with AI generated public policy solutions demonstrate this perfectly. The AI generated solution is perfectly workable, better than what a team of pros could generate in a year. However, because a year of sweat and argument was not invested in the solution (which took 1 day to generate), it is discounted, not trusted, and most importantly, now owned by the implementers. Solving that adoption trick is what we'll need AI to do. The "Embrace the Alien," a solution to the Not-Invented-Here syndrome, is one of the recipes I'm cooking up. Toby's dialogue on this topic has been crucial to me on this quest.
