Canada's Federal 2026 Budget is prescient in creating the $15M capital gains exemption. That will encourage building things.
I think that 2027 will be the first of a 3-year cycle in which organizations make a serious effort to build the foundation for AI-driven digital transformation.
That means thoughtfully and intentionally identifying and organizing data sources, mapping workflows, and implementing agentic AI to work alongside humans.
I deal mostly with professionals on the human and strategic side of businesses: public relations, communications, internal communications, governance and so forth.
In my travels, I am seeing an awakening to the fact that AI digital transformation requires significant capital and infrastructure investment before productivity gains can be realized.
This is a mindset change for these areas of business, since before the main resource was human, and specific human brains, which produce intelligence and creativity.
Now that AI has matured in a few short years to the point where it can produce levels of intelligence and "creativity" useful in an organizational context, managers and executives are starting to take the necessary capex and restructuring required for AI transformation seriously.
If you’re interested in this sort of digital transformation, let me know. I am looking for case studies and would be happy to help you think through it and even implement it.
