Said on Finding Our Way

“We are no longer building the thing people interact with. Increasingly, we're building the thing that determines the thing that people interact with. … Now we're moving into this world where the humans on the other side are the ones determining their experience. We're just shaping the ecosystem.” — Emily Campbell, Finding Our Way

“Don't convince people. Don't try. Just offer the thing, offer the better way of doing something, offer the better design, offer the better practice. And if they don't want to do it, they probably have a good reason. And trying to trick them into doing it is not worth your time.” — Clay Parker Jones, Finding Our Way

“In large organizations, so much of the conversation ends up being about, oh, well, we don't have role clarity. And it's something people say when they are trying not exactly to avoid taking action, but it often allows people to do that.” — Clay Parker Jones, Finding Our Way

“We talk about, oh, AI is going to be like this enabler of super performance for teams. We already have it. It's just a good team. A good team is super intelligent. … The teams that actually spend a bit of time getting their shit together up front, they end up delivering. … Everything about it is better and it is free. Teaming is free.” — Clay Parker Jones, Finding Our Way
