Beyond the ‘Good Enough’ Trap
In his article for NODE, Adolfo Gómez Sánchez, CEO of GOLD Results, explores how leaders can turn AI-driven productivity into stronger human capability.
The article distinguishes between algorithmic performance, which executes known tasks efficiently, and adaptive performance, which enables people to respond when circumstances change and established approaches no longer work.
Drawing on elite sport, Adolfo explains why access to technology alone rarely creates a lasting advantage. What matters is how people apply information, exercise judgement and improve through deliberate practice.
For leaders, this means protecting the experiences that develop expertise: making decisions, learning from mistakes and acting on meaningful feedback. It also means maintaining standards that encourage people to recognise what is missing and improve beyond an acceptable first answer.
Staying relevant means using AI to accelerate execution while developing the capability to deliver exceptional performance.
