The biggest shift in R&D isn't about AI or gadgets - it's about investing in people development.

Most organizations assume you either hire good people or you don't, but the real competitive advantage comes from continuously developing every person in your organization.

Key insights:

  • We're still in early stages of understanding how human brains work
  • People development should be treated as primary R&D investment
  • Just like investing in children's education, organizations need long-term people investment
  • This creates learning organizations that focus 10x more on development than traditional approaches

The future belongs to organizations that see people as their greatest research and development opportunity.
