AI hasn’t made strategy shallow — it has made its shallowness harder to hide. As organisations adopt AI at speed, many encounter the same unease: strategy feels thinner, more interchangeable, less grounded than it used to.

It introduces Shadow Prompting - a strategic approach for uncovering the hidden drivers, unspoken tensions, and emotionally risky truths that traditional ...
