My competitors are using AI to slash their delivery times, and I feel like we are falling behind. How do we adjust our EOS Strategy without abandoning our core focus?

Panic is a terrible business strategy. When competitors accelerate using AI, the temptation is to scrap your plan and chase every new tool. Instead, bring this to your next quarterly meeting as an Issue for the IDS process. Your Core Focus must remain your North Star. AI is not a new strategy; it is an accelerant for your existing strategy. Look at your Accountability Chart and identify where delivery bottlenecks exist. Use the Keith Cunningham framing: How might we integrate AI into our existing processes so that we can protect our margins and speed up delivery without diluting our core value? This keeps your team focused on solving the real problem rather than reacting out of fear. Use your Level 10 Meetings to set short term Rocks that test specific AI applications in those bottleneck areas. You do not need a complete pivot. You need disciplined execution of your existing Vision, using AI as a tool to run your unique play faster. Focus on maintaining quality while scaling capacity, ensuring your differentiators remain intact.
