🏒 Companies Are Just a Graph of Algorithms
#

Have you ever thought that your company is simply a series of interconnected steps? πŸ€”

πŸ“Œ The core idea: Every company, regardless of size or industry, can be modeled as a graph of algorithms β€” a network of workflows chained together.

πŸ” What does this mean?

  • Marketing β†’ Sales β†’ Support β†’ HR: each department is its own algorithm
  • Every step can be broken down into smaller sub-steps
  • It’s algorithms all the way down

πŸ€– Why does AI matter here? AI doesn’t “understand” your company by magic β€” it analyzes it for what it truly is: a chain of steps. And it’s very good at identifying inefficiencies, redundancies, and automation opportunities.

⚠️ What’s coming: Consultancies like McKinsey are already offering to map all of a company’s workflows and then optimize them with AI. The result: smaller, leaner companies that require fewer human workers.

πŸ“ˆ The opportunity: Understanding your company as a graph of algorithms lets you get ahead of AI, rather than wait for it.


πŸ’‘ Explanation in a nutshell
#

Imagine your daily work is a cooking recipe: each step leads to the next. A company works the same way β€” a chain of “recipes” (algorithms). AI is like an expert chef who can read all those recipes at once and tell you: “This step is unnecessary, this one can be automated, and this third one only needs two people instead of ten.” The clearer the recipe, the easier it is to optimize.
