Another CEO memo on AI is making waves - this time from Amazon’s Andy Jassy, who outlines the tech giant’s aggressive AI strategy and hints at workforce reductions. While some may see it as ominous, others view it as a rallying cry for change. The AI Knowhow team dives deep into what this latest corporate proclamation really means.

First, NordLight CEO Pete Buer and Knownwell CMO Courtney Baker unpack Jassy’s memo, especially its stark honesty about AI's impact on jobs—and what it means for your own upskilling strategy.

Then Courtney is joined by Knownwell’s CEO David DeWolf and Chief Product and Technology Officer Mohan Rao to unpack how leaders at all levels—not just the C-suite—can take initiative, align teams, and prove they’re a few steps ahead before the next memo lands. From strategic intent to narrative discipline and modular operating systems, they break down the practical moves that position you to lead with action, not just reaction.

Also, Pete Buer chats with Jeff McKay, founder of Prudent Pedal, to explore how AI is transforming organizational structures in professional services firms. They examine McKay’s “IC Triad” model and how marketing, sales, and delivery must evolve to remain competitive in the AI era.
