Citrini & Alap Shah have just written a haunting & disturbing piece on the 2028 Global Intelligence Crisis.

Set in mid 2028, it shows us a movie with AI as the villain, devouring most industries (instead of just disrupting them) on a permanent basis leading to massive job losses and consequences for labor markets, credit markets, mortgages, taxes and society.

It ends with the caution "As a society, we still have time to be proactive. The canary is still alive."

So far the markets have mainly brushed off the AI risks for the economy as a whole - only SaaS and IT stocks have crashed. But judging by their current wobble (temporarily at least), this piece has got the conversation started.

Let's hope that we can keep these doomsday scenarios at bay and find ways to manage the rise of AI.

Why did Microsoft just create a new position after 51 years to report directly to the CEO, called Engineering Quality Head?

Quality has become one of Microsoft's Core Priorities so the head of Security has moved to this new position. But the question everyone is asking is, does this have something to do with AI?

After all more than 30% of their code was supposed to be written by AI last year, and they have had some embarrassing snafus since then. Microsoft’s own researchers have reported that developers miss about 40% more bugs when reviewing AI-generated code than human-written code.

We have long tried to improve Productivity (how fast work was done) but with AI this is now irrelevant. We now need to focus on Performance (Quality of work) as it will determine our long term success - as Microsoft itself seems to acknowledge.

Smart LAP is designed to Accelerate Performance by bringing Customers, Employees & Management on a single platform focused on improving quality of work done. It simplifies work allocation, measuring quality through forms & attachments with approval workflows & ratings as well as integrating information across functions.

The headlines are screaming AI Apocalypse, saying that AI will bring down IT services giants like a house of cards. To see if the fears are justified, look no further than your boarding pass.

Behind this tiny paper slip is 65 years of software. The first airline reservation system called SABRE was launched in 1960. It taught the world how to build mission critical and real time systems and has evolved into an end to end airline operations solution on a cloud-native, API-driven platform. Over its lifespan tens of thousands of programmers would have created billions of lines of code, constantly upgrading and improving it.

Yes, AI can build in seconds things that would take days. But that's also the problem when you need a system to last. There is no business logic context, unknown design considerations for scalability or security, minimal documentation and complex maintainability.

So while something may work at first, it may not be very useful beyond its initial use case. IT teams possess a vast knowledge of business processes and existing systems which ensure that systems developed are robust, extensible, maintainable and reliable. That's what makes them last for decades.

AI definitely improves Productivity - how fast work is done. But it may not improve Performance - the quality of work. For that we still need people to understand what needs to be done and how.

So we need to focus on how we can Accelerate Performance of people by enabling them with the right tools to improving their work quality. That is what we do at Smart LAP - www.smartlap.app - DM for more details

The building block of world commerce which was invented in 1956 and went on to revolutionize shipping, has stepped into the limelight in this year's budget.

Rs. 10,000 crore has been allocated over 5 years to supercharge container manufacturing, currently at just 30,000 units per year, compared to China's 6 million (which are also 30% cheaper than those from India).

This will help in boosting global trade from India by reducing the cost of importing empty containers as well its reliance on China. It is also expected to increase the share of internal cargo shipped by rail and waterways instead of road which will in turn lead to lower energy imports and reduce pollution.

Containers are not just plain boxes. Made of corden steel, they form a rust like layer that protects them against marine corrosion. The flooring has marine grade plywood along with steel cross members and the doors are sealed with rubber gaskets with stainless steel hinges. So making them in India will create thousands of jobs directly, along with creating several ancillary industries for SMEs to flourish.

Here's hoping we leverage this opportunity and Accelerate Performance with some out-of-the-box thinking as well.

Measuring Performance isn't easy, so your dashboards don't show it. Productivity on the other hand is simple - all you need is a clock.

That's because productivity just tells you how much work your team does in a given time i.e. the speed of work. Whereas Performance is actually how good the work actually is - it's quality.

So to Accelerate Performance you need 2 things - measuring not just when the work completes, but what was actually done. This means that we need to add specific files and fill forms to complete tasks. Managers should have approval workflows to check the task quality and assign quality ratings. And all of this should be done from Email & WhatsApp directly to improve speed and simplicity.

That's what Smart LAP .app does - it brings together Customers, Employees & Management on 1 platform & integrates their functions with quality at the heart.

“The online hate and damage to our business reputation has been absolutely soul-destroying.” because of an AI hallucination.

CNN reports that an Australian travel company posted a blog post created through AI that spoke about a hot springs location in Tasmania - which didn't exist. This drove tourists to the place, and they responded with an avalanche of bad reviews. It's a small company, using AI to keep up with the big boys, and one mistake is all it takes to destroy years of hard work.

In the age of AI, it is not the companies who build the fastest who will win, it will be those who can give the highest quality output. In other words Accelerating employee Performance (not Productivity) is the key challenge.

Get the solution that will help in Accelerating Performance, so that you don't land up in hot water. Take a look at www.smartlap.app or DM for more information.

Need to ask team members to send emails of work done to check on quality of their tasks? And do you need to create new tasks for rework?

In Smart LAP, we are solving for these problems by measuring quality of Project Tasks. Team members can fill Forms embedded in their tasks and add specific attachments while closing the task.

You can also have Approval Workflows within the project where managers can review the Forms & Attachments and approve or send the tasks back. They can also give Ratings to tasks, to track team Performance over a period of time.

Finland designs over 80% of the world's icebreakers and builds most of them. And even the US needs to use Finnish companies to build them a fleet.

With transatlantic tensions reaching new highs everyday over Greenland, we are seeing a strange side effect of the battle over the Arctic seas. According to the BBC, Finland is the only country where all its harbors freeze in winter and icebreakers are a vital need to keep the ports open. This means that the US needs their expertise to build icebreakers which can actually patrol these waters.

Under US law, the their ships must be built domestically, but in this case the president waived that requirement on national security grounds. Just a few months ago, Trump said "We're buying the finest icebreakers in the world, and Finland is known for making them". High praise coming from someone who believes that Europe is a dead continent.

High Performance will always trump Market Volatility !

Are you still asking your people to send you daily updates on WhatsApp and then following up with them? Do they duplicate this in their work tracking system as well?

Accelerate Performance by removing speed breakers for you and your team. Smart LAP sends WhatsApp alerts of work to team members, sends follow up reminders, and also keeps you updated on their work.

You can seamlessly assign work (either project tasks or smaller requests) which they can view on WhatsApp and close from there itself. Similarly their daily updates are sent to you for your feedback.

Why are beer making CEO's being asked to put down their glasses? Heineken CEO just announced he's leaving, joining another half a dozen in 6 months.

Gen-Z is probably going to be blamed for this as well. As in other industries, they are rewriting the rules and changing the way the beer industry works too. There is a marked reduction in beer consumption, with people prioritizing their health and preferring low or no-alcohol beers.

As weight loss drugs get more prominent, we will see a greater shift towards healthy living among older adults as well. This will further exacerbate the trend of falling sales and added cost pressures can reduce margins as well.

Add to the fact that when people do drink, they are looking for experiences, which has led to the boom in premium craft beer in tap rooms rather than off the shelf beer.

So is diversification or M&A the way out for this industry?

What's the change that you will bring into 2026? For me it is to stop measuring productivity. That's right.

It's performance we will be chasing from now on, not productivity. Because productivity just measures how fast tasks are done (speed), while performance evaluates how well they are done (speed + quality).

Productivity is a dying measure, because AI gets work done faster (though not always better). So we must focus on improving quality and that's what tracking Performance is all about.

But since it is a more holistic measure, we also need processes that align employees, customers & management together. This simplifies information sharing and allows better decision making, leading to accelerated performance.

What do you think are the key ways to improve performance?
