One thousand days after ChatGPT's emergence, AI shifted from buzzword to foundational force, reshaping workflows, boardroom agendas and entire industries. Generative AI, alongside Claude, Gemini and open-source models, accelerated innovation, widened performance gaps and revealed how few institutions could turn experiments into execution. Across education, enterprise, pharma and the public sector, organizations that thrive with AI prioritize people and workflows rather than beginning with tools. Many early efforts were treated as IT projects, handed to CIOs with roadmaps and pilots, resulting in stalled momentum. Adaptive organizations engage employees and redesign workflows for people-first adoption.
This September marks 1,000 days since ChatGPT entered public consciousness. In that short time, the world has undergone a seismic shift. AI, once a buzzword, has become a foundational force - reshaping workflows, boardroom agendas and entire industries. No organization or country, large or small, was immune. Generative AI, alongside Claude, Gemini and open-source models, hasn't merely added features. It has reset the pace of innovation, widened performance gaps and exposed how few institutions were equipped to turn experiments into execution.
Across verticals - from education and enterprise to pharma and public sector - one insight has proven consistent: The organizations that thrive with AI don't start with tools. They start with people. Since the release of ChatGPT, I've worked with hundreds of organizations worldwide as an AI keynote speaker, transformation advisor and strategic consultant. My work has included delivering keynotes, facilitating AI innovation workshops and guiding C-suite leaders across industries through the turbulence of AI adoption.
