Over the Holidays, my kids and I read the story of the book 📕 aptly named “The three ninja 🥷🏻 pigs 🐷… 𝑆𝑜 𝐼 𝑡𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑒𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠 𝑤𝑒𝑙𝑙 𝑤𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑛 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑚𝑠𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙 𝑏𝑜𝑜𝑘, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠𝑎𝑖𝑑, “ℎ𝑜𝑤 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑒 𝑡𝑒𝑎𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑠 ℎ𝑒𝑙𝑝 𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑒 𝑏𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑠”.

Well it start off like most stories, as a battle for enterprise AI success, this story unfolds much like The Three Ninja Pigs. It’s not just about building, it’s about building smarter, stronger, and with purpose. Let me explain.

1️⃣ The first pig? Fast. Too fast. They threw together a straw solution, an MVP that looked good enough yet couldn’t weather The Big Bad Business Problem. The first challenge blew it apart, leaving the pig scrambling. Speed is important, yet speed without structure? A recipe for collapse.

2️⃣ The second pig learned a bit and opted for wood, more solid, yet far too rigid. They built pre-defined workflows, stuck to outdated assumptions, and hoped for the best. When the winds of unforeseen complexity came, their system held, yet only briefly. It lacked the resilience to adapt.

3️⃣ Then came the third pig, the ninja. This pig took a different approach, one that emphasized iteration, learning, and evolution. They laid a strong foundation (alignment with enterprise goals), designed adaptive walls (clarity through agile workflows), and reinforced it with transparency (feedback loops and visibility). They didn’t just build once, they built, tested, learned, and iterated yet again.

When the Big Bad Problem came knocking, huffing and puffing, the third pig’s dojo stood firm. Why? Because it wasn’t just a structure; it was a system built to grow stronger under pressure.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥?
Enterprise AI isn’t about rushing to solutions or clinging to rigid systems. It’s about embracing the “Gauge, Analyze, Automate, Adapt” approach, a framework for agility, iteration, and growth.

Remember:
• Fast doesn’t mean strong.
• Rigid doesn’t mean resilient.
• Yet learning, adapting, and evolving? That’s where the real power lies.

Be like the third ninja pig. Build with intention, iterate with purpose, and stay agile in the face of change. Yet don’t forget: every challenge is a chance to reinforce your dojo.
