Halfway down the stairs
Is a stair where I sit.
There isn't any other stair
Quite like it.
I'm not at the bottom,
I'm not at the top;
So this is the stair
Where I always stop.
Halfway down is its own place—a space between where you started and where you're going, perfect for thinking, transition, and reflection. It's not just a transitional point; it's the exact moment where real change begins.
Long thinking while on the journey is essential. Thoughtful consideration not just at decision points, but throughout the transformation process creates the foundation for lasting change. This approach guides how we help organizations effectively navigate their AI transformation.
Organizations are often "halfway down" when they bring me in—no longer fully traditional, not yet fully AI-transformed. This transitional state is both challenging and filled with opportunity.
Transformation isn't just about the starting point or destination. The journey itself—that "halfway" moment—is a unique place with its own perspective and value. I help organizations embrace this space rather than rushing through it.
Change feels uncomfortable—and halfway is where you pause, reflect, rethink, and decide the next move. This deliberate approach ensures transformations are thoughtful rather than reactionary, strategic rather than merely tactical.
My work is about leading organizations from this halfway point to a stronger future—carefully, thoughtfully, powerfully. By acknowledging where you are, we can chart the most effective path forward, combining deep reflection with decisive action.
In a business landscape obsessed with speed, the Halfway Down philosophy provides a necessary counterbalance—a reminder that the most powerful transformations come from blending thoughtful reflection with decisive action.
This is the foundation of how I approach AI integration and organizational change: finding that perfect balance between contemplation and execution, between tradition and innovation, between where you've been and where you're going.
