Digital Disruption with Geoff Nielson: What AI Can Never Understand

May 5, 2025

Jonathan sits down with Geoff Neilson on the Digital Disruption podcast to explore what leaders need to do to survive and thrive through the next decade of accelerating technological disruption.

They discuss why the traditional organizational model introduced in the railroad era is no longer equipped to handle the complexity of AI-powered transformation. Jonathan speaks on the concept of the “octopus organization,” where intelligence, decision-making, and adaptability are distributed rather than centralized. He breaks down AI’s biggest shift not just in task automation, but in decision-making and organizational design and emphasizes the importance of psychological safety in successful AI adoption.
