SHAWN'S PROGRAM
Escaping the Algorithm
What if the playbook handed to CEOs is missing an entire chapter?
Across nearly every industry, companies are starting to look the same. Same websites. Same strategies. Same customer chatbots. Same AI-generated content. The pressure to copy what’s working has quietly become the dominant growth strategy.
Shawn’s program makes the case that the missing chapter is creativity. This isn’t a marketing tactic or brainstorm session. Rather, it’s a system that leadership teams can put into practice.
Recent Appearance
Shawn joined Brandon Laws on the Xenium HR’s Transform Your Workplace podcast to make the case that AI won't rescue uncreative companies, and why small companies have a once-in-a-generation chance to win by creating instead of competing.
