What happens when you get promoted and you're not a PM anymore...?

HI THERE, ED HERE

I have recently had to go through a professional identity crisis.

I had been a PM for so long and loved the work.

The daily challenges, the near-constant need to learn new skills, and the solving of interesting problems are what made me excited to go to work every day.

However, if you do a great job as a PM, opportunities for growth open up.

That’s what happened to me over the last 75 days.

My 9-to-5 asked me to move to a role where I manage our customer relationships in the Western half of the US, which includes 15 States and about 2 million square miles.

But that meant I’d have to move on from a PM role. And move to Nevada.

After careful consideration, I accepted.

But how could I continue this newsletter (a passion project) if I wasn’t a PM?

Well, after a pause and thinking about my mission in writing this newsletter, I’ve changed the name of the AI PMO to The CAIO (The Chief AI Officer).

The emerging role of CAIO is to align an organization’s AI strategy and goals, depending on the existing roles and business needs.

And that’s the goal I hope to achieve.

To help you align your organization’s AI strategy and goals to meet your organization's needs within your existing framework.

I appreciate your coming on this journey with me. I’ll continue to write about where I believe the future of AI in the workplace is going. I understand this newsletter will no longer serve every reader (No hard feelings if you use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of this email.) If that’s you, thank you for subscribing initially and offering me a little slice of your inbox every week. I don’t take the privilege lightly.

If you’re sticking around for the journey, next week, you’ll see the new logo, so don’t be startled:

Here’s to the future.

Let’s learn together.
