AI Doesn't Create Strategy — It Scales the One You Already Have
By
Tim Hughes
Summary
This article argues that the primary risk of adopting AI in business is not poor AI output, but rather using AI to scale a fundamentally broken or obsolete operating model. It warns that injecting AI into an organization surfaces three hidden traps, starting with the "Volume Trap" — where more AI-generated content, emails, and outreach do not translate into more pipeline or revenue. The piece emphasizes that AI does not create strategy; it amplifies whatever strategy (or lack thereof) a company already has.
