These talks and presentations grow directly out of the research on this site. I keep this page focused on the themes I usually present; the full presentation record, going back to 2006, is in my CV.

Research Themes I Present

Unbounding rationality: Why AI is a fundamental issue for strategy

The conceptual argument. It explains why bounded rationality has been a load-bearing assumption in strategy for decades, how AI changes that starting point, and why the result is best understood as unbounding rather than replacement.

AI is revolutionizing strategic decision-making

The applied version of the argument. It organizes AI’s impact around three cognitive tasks at the heart of strategy: search, representation, and aggregation.

The strategic foresight of LLMs

The empirical project. It walks through a fully prospective venture tournament comparing large language models with experienced human evaluators on uncertain future outcomes.

Organizations as artificial intelligences

The theory argument. It revisits the Carnegie tradition, organization theory, and AI together.
