Stop Training People on AI. Start with Outcomes. 🎯

The AI Shift Isn't Magic. It's Machine Learning—and History is Repeating Itself. 🧠

When the rotary dial phone was introduced, it took decades of theater newsreels to teach a whole nation how to use it. Today, we face a similar epic transformation with Agentic AI, Google Cloud, and Gemini. If your team feels overwhelmed or behind, it’s because we are treating this like a software update instead of what it actually is: classic change management on a massive scale.

The enterprises winning this race aren’t just pushing new toolsets onto their employees. They are working backward from outcomes, objectives, and intentions.

The old way required humans to master the tooling. The new world? We define the objective, and let the machines figure out, select, and operate the tools to get us there.

Watch to discover why the future of AI ROI isn’t about tech fluency—it’s about outcome architecture.

"Outcome Architecture vs. Tool Fluency"

In past tech shifts, we had to spend years training people on how to operate the machinery. With Agentic AI and Gemini, we need to shift from training tool fluency to building Outcome Architects. We don't need people to figure out the technical steps; we need them to precisely define the business intention and let the machine select and run the tools to deliver it. The bottle-neck isn't the AI's capability; it's our ability to articulate the outcome.

Let's figure the outcome out. Work backwards. And then we'll plug in the tooling. - Dan Barrett

Reach people where they are. Be pragmatic. - Dan Barrett

It's classic change management, just a different flavor of what we've seen before. - Dan Barrett

It's not magic. It's machine learning.

And getting people to adopt it is just like any other change management project you've ever embarked on.
If it feels overwhelming, that's partially true — because everybody feels behind.

Think back to when they had to train an entire nation how to operate a rotary dial phone. Started on newsreels in theaters in the '30s, and continued well into the television era. We've reshaped societies based on changes in technology — from the phone, to the car, to the plane.

It's happening again.

Invest in the people. Group learning is a big piece of it.
But what's different than ever before: we work backwards from outcomes, work backwards from objectives, work backwards from intentions — and let the machines (and in this case some help from EGEN) pick the tools, and even operate the tools to a large degree, to help us achieve our objectives.
It's a very different world we're entering.

Thanks again to EGEN for inviting us to the EGEN Lounge at Google Cloud Next. Great time. Learned a ton.
