Donald Thompson, CEO and board member of Inn-Flow, has described 2025 as a year of intentional building, focusing on creating jobs and opportunities rather than reacting to fear. His focus is on Workplace Options and the Center for Organizational Effectiveness (COE), where he works full-time. The COE provides the largest real-time diagnostic of organizational culture on the planet. Thompson argues that every AI failure is a leadership failure, and leaders who treat AI adoption as a culture transformation will win. He also shares his knowledge of AI adoption with formal credentials and joins the advisory board of RDUlabs.
