Technology changes organisations before it changes job titles.
The real AI transition is organisational: how decisions get made, how knowledge flows, how teams are shaped.

Leadership
“I lead by helping my team glow.”
A leader's job isn't to be the smartest person in every conversation. It's to create the environment, systems and clarity that let capable people do their strongest work — and in 2026 that includes the AI they work alongside.
Thinking
How Jenks sees the world.
The ideas behind the work — on AI, organisations, economics, security and trust.
AI should make teams more capable — not just make individuals type faster.
The unit of value is the AI-augmented team: humans and agents with clear roles, shared context and human-in-the-loop checkpoints.
Intelligence is infrastructure. Measure it like infrastructure.
When does $20k of AI spend per developer pay back? Model routing, budgets and evaluation are leadership questions, not procurement afterthoughts.
Community
Technology is also a way to show up for your community.
School council president, long-serving treasurer, Toastmaster, meetup organiser and mentor — the things Jenks starts without anyone asking.
