Posted and in the books, this was a good one.

I was listening to a discussion of AI in healthcare this afternoon, and they mentioned the productivity paradox of IT, which is as relevant today re: AI as it was in prior times. Also known as the Solow computer paradox, THE productivity paradox of IT is the observation that increased investment in information technology (IT) and widespread computer adoption did not correspond to expected gains in productivity growth, particularly during the 1970s–1990s. Despite rapid technological advancements, productivity growth remained sluggish for years, often attributed to the need for time to adapt business processes. Key Aspects of the Paradox: - The Quote: Coined by Erik Brynjolfsson and inspired by Nobel laureate Robert Solow, who famously stated: "You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics". - Time Lag & Learning: - Measurement Errors: Traditional metrics, such as GDP per hour, may fail to capture the quality improvements, convenience, and time-saving aspects of modern IT. - Redistribution and Mismanagement: IT investment might simply redistribute profit rather than create it, or it may be wasted on inefficient systems or excessive, non-productive communication tools. - AI Implications: Similar to the 1990s, the current rise of AI is viewed as a paradox where high investment is happening, but widespread productivity benefits are taking time to materialize.

Hey everyone happy new year. I hope 2026 is amazing for us all. now that the beta test period of eight weeks is over and I have hopefully giving you all good content in AI and how to leverage it versus just theory. I know you can’t always make the meetings, but if we had more participation, I think we could make it a better meeting. Please do your best to attend when you can. That being said I’m going to be changing it from four times a month to every other week starting January 12th tomorrow. Your feedback it’s always welcome and valuable. if you’d like to try and move it to the afternoon due to your location we can try alternative days and times as well. I wanna make sure I’m providing good useful content and I think I can give more if there’s a time in between for you all to practice some of the things that we’re learning. This is a community so your feedback is really helpful but more importantly necessary to help us all grow and scale or businesses I will be getting the agenda out and adjusting the schedule no later than tomorrow afternoon Monday for Tuesday’s meeting. Thank You all fo your participation.

Agenda IS now posted, we will dive deeper into the prompt vault, bring your questions and someone offer to be the hot spot (get your issues resolved) byt the group. Week 7 12-30-2025 Agenda https://hi.switchy.io/mb61
