Great post, insightful! Thank you for including my voice alongside so many thoughtful perspectives. I appreciate the care taken in curating these prompts and reflections, the conversation is much richer when multiple point of views are allowed to coexist.

It was a great edition :)

Thanks Chris. I am glad your liked it. Once again, I appreciate your contribution.

ToxSec's avatar

Too cool! Great to read the other prompts :).

Really appreciate how these are put together. I think it’s not only educational, but a great way to get the community to get to know each other better.

Thank you Chris. I am glad it resonated with you.

A great read! Thanks, Juan, for creating conversation and bringing together different voices and perspectives. Such a great way to build understanding and community.

it's available to many now but how well can you use it, you get out what you put in

Judgement and systems thinking are key

Cristina's avatar

Exactly, critical thinking is fundamental.

Thank you, Juan, for this excellent post and curation from some of the writers that I most love on Substack. As usual, I learnt so much from their words and from the way in which you pulled the threads together. Thank you.

Juan Salas-Romer's avatar

Thank you Sam for the kind words. As you know firsthand, the Substack community never disappoints. It’s genuinely a joy to work with and learn from them.

ToxSec's avatar

He really has a knack for it!

Bob DePasquale's avatar

Think it's great that it's accessible. People need to learn how to use it for good.

Juan Salas-Romer's avatar

The costs of not learning it are way higher than the alternative.

Trisha DePasquale's avatar

the tech is great but you have to use it really well if you want it to work really well

My favorite prompts always come from Juan Salas-Romer! Legend ✨

Juan Salas-Romer's avatar

Thank you Chris. I am the curator, the Substack creators deserve most of the credit.

Cristina's avatar

You are the best!

👏 to all involved

Amazing resource here!

Will be interesting to see if the fraud/scam detection tools will scale just as quickly as the ai generated fraud also.

I know it is a HUGE space right now... and it needs to be.

Juan Salas-Romer's avatar

Thanks Dennis. It’s all going AI, with safeguards and human in the loop. Then we will have quantum…back to the drawing board.

ToxSec's avatar

The timing on this is going to be really interesting, if quantum breaks through just as we finis constructing all these massive data centers.

So much of operational resilience hinges on spotting stress points before they fracture under scale — especially in fast-moving AI deployments. These prompts feel like they could form the backbone of a quarterly systems audit. Do you see them being used more by leadership teams or technical teams right now?

Juan Salas-Romer's avatar

That’s correct. I would think either leadership or tech teams

ToxSec's avatar

That’s a great pov. In my opinion, I think both could be applied. I wrote this with a CISSP in mind. So leadership with some tech knowledge, ready to brief the rest of the leadership.

Great article Juan! When automation accelerates everything, precision becomes our only real moat.

Juan Salas-Romer's avatar

Judgement about what, where and how becomes more important.

This felt like setting out the week’s compass before taking the first step.

Not to rush the journey, but to make sure the direction is true.

Through the 5 Voices lens, this kind of weekly blueprint lands in different ways:

Nurturers feel steadied when people are front of mind.

Guardians feel anchored when there’s a clear structure.

Creatives feel free when there’s space to think.

Connectors feel energised by shared focus.

Pioneers feel ready when there’s a clear direction to move toward.

When teams honour these layers early, decisions carry less friction later.

Juan Salas-Romer's avatar

Thank you James. Appreciate the analysis

I love how many different voices and perspectives are present in this post! I'm here in Support of Dallas and Cristina. 🩷🦩

It’s a great bouquet of AI x Business news. I find it really interesting, how the gen-Z/entry-level roles are the first to "suffer".

ToxSec's avatar

They both had really great posts. I just did a collab with Dallas and it was amazing!

Cristina's avatar

Thank you always for the great support. 🩷

Juan Salas-Romer's avatar

Thank you. I am glad you find it useful. Your reflection is spot on. The new curriculum will have to optimize for judgement, business model economics, ability to network, using AI to check and understand your reasoning, seeing cause and effects, systems, etc

Dennis Hedenskog's avatar

That matters because small teams win when they build repeatable, scalable workflows that replace manual labor. - Thanks for adding this analysis, and that's very helpful for me in my reality

ToxSec's avatar

Absolutely love to hear this!

Juan Salas-Romer's avatar

Happy to hear this Dennis. Hopefully you see great benefits.
