Jamie Flinchbaugh, Founder of JFlinch @jflinch.bsky.social · 27/08/2026How do you define your unique value as a solo consultant? I believe most consultants do this wrong, focusing on their past and on themselves. You must define your unique value based on what your clients will receive from you and your resume is just evidence that that's possible. 000
Jamie Flinchbaugh, Founder of JFlinch @jflinch.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Yes but it's only effective control if you have clarity around decision rules and processes, which is my primary point. Most companies lack this, which is what made all the promises of digital transformation go unfulfilled. 110
Jamie Flinchbaugh, Founder of JFlinch @jflinch.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Your failures in digital transformation will be the same failures you have for Agentic AI.

Of course it can but if you want to do something well, you have to have some control over your data, your standards, your process, your decision rules... 110
Jamie Flinchbaugh, Founder of JFlinch @jflinch.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Are you taking supply chain risk seriously? Most companies know it's important but are doing nothing. Other companies are paying attention to it through a few meetings and metrics but not really investing in it. Only a few are taking it so seriously that it is changing how they allocate resources. 000

Jamie Flinchbaugh, Founder of JFlinch @jflinch.bsky.social · 13/03/2026There's a gap about AI usage between execs and employees, and it's going to cause problems. One of the leading causes of "workslop" is forced AI usage, and not only does it not move an organization forward but generates waste, lack of trust, and more 000
Jamie Flinchbaugh, Founder of JFlinch @jflinch.bsky.social · 26/02/2026How did a Crimini Research memo crater financial stocks? For starters, it states right front that it's a scenario and not a prediction. But this scenario is based almost entirely of reinforcing dynamics, and for the systems thinkers in the room, is absent the balancing loops that are always at play. 020

Jamie Flinchbaugh, Founder of JFlinch @jflinch.bsky.social · 05/12/2025Wrong analysis.
