Most businesses die in the gap between:
"I understand"
and
"What I actually meant was…"
We spend hours making sure everyone heard the same thing.
Then spend days fixing what was misunderstood anyway.
Why?
Because humans aren't built to coordinate well.
We interpret everything through different filters.
It's not politics.
It's not culture.
It's just nature.
Even when we "agree," we don't speak the same language.
Visualize this:
Two groups of smart businesspeople staring at a square object on a pedestal.
Group A: "It's a box."
Group B: "It's art."
They're both right.
And completely stuck.
Now imagine trying to ship a product like that.
The #1 function of a business?
➡️ Exchange information
➡️ Align effort
If that breaks, nothing else works.
Meanwhile… machines don't argue.
APIs don't misinterpret.
Automations don't need clarification.
They just execute.
Even the most complex integrations work faster than 3 people on Slack.
Here's my thesis after 15 years in automation:
The fewer people you need to organize your business, the more effective it becomes.
And with GenAI, even coordination is getting automated.
Now you can tweak logic, flows, and messaging instantly - without a meeting.
So what should you do?
✅ Automate the work
✅ Automate the coordination
✅ Let humans create, not herd cats
