Benjamin Sorensen reposted thisBenjamin Sorensen reposted thisWhat an energising morning at the Boundless Breakfast Club in Dublin. A huge thank‑you to everyone who joined us, and to our brilliant speakers Michelle Fogarty, Emma Quinn, Nigel Bateman, Paul Turley, and Elaine Burke for such honest, practical insight into what responsible AI adoption really looks like inside organisations. A few big themes stood out: 1. Start narrow, move fast, and keep humans in the loop. Nigel reminded us that most AI pilots fail because they’re too broad. The teams that succeed start with a tight use case, iterate quickly, and maintain rigorous human oversight. Bias doesn’t disappear — it amplifies without governance. 2. Test AI where it actually touches people. Michelle spoke about deep in‑house data modelling and letting employees test the tools that will impact them. If it crosses into people processes, people have to be part of the evaluation. 3. Focus on outcomes, not shiny features. Paul emphasised using AI to reduce friction and remove the “boring, tedious” work such as Service 1 tasks, not chasing the most impressive technology. Start with outcomes and use cases; adoption follows. 4. Law and governance matter — and they start now. Emma reminded us that the EU AI Act’s high‑risk obligations are coming, even if delayed, and the best thing organisations can do today is establish clear monitoring, human‑in‑the‑loop structures, and bias checks before they’re required. Across the board, one message was loud and clear: AI adoption is as much about mindset, change management, and guardrails as it is about technology. Thank you to everyone who contributed to such a thoughtful discussion and to Dee for presenting Boundless own pillars of responsible AI usage. If you’d like to join the next one — or continue this conversation — stay tuned. #ResponsibleAI #AIinHR #PeopleOps #EUAIAct #FutureOfWork #BoundlessEvents

Benjamin Sorensen liked thisSuch a great week hosting Erin Gajdalo and the executive team here in Stockholm. A huge thank you to the teams at SEB and Saab for the warm welcome and open discussions around upskilling and the future of tech. Proud of the work we are doing at Pluralsight to support these transformation journeys. Looking forward to our continued partnership!Benjamin Sorensen liked thisThere is really no substitute for being on the ground. This week I spent time in Sweden – a quick but productive trip to catch up with a few of our long-term customers and meet some new faces, too. The goal for this visit was simple: listen and learn. Spending time with the teams at SEB and Saab offered a deeper look into how they are prioritizing upskilling in a rapidly shifting landscape. It’s one thing to discuss strategy over a video call, but it’s another to see the culture and energy of these organizations firsthand. A huge thank you to Kristina Bixo, Colm Fadden, Petra Alund, Henrik Magnusson, Lena Eliasson, Alexander Lindstrand, Navid Azadi and Paul Landers for the wonderful warm welcome and the insightful discussions. I also want to give a big shout-out to our internal team – Jakob Kraft, Linus Munk Hemberg, Michael Ross and Steve Vierra. These days only happen because of the groundwork they lay every day. #WeArePluralsight #Upskilling #FutureOfWork

Benjamin Sorensen liked thisBenjamin Sorensen liked thisLast week’s reality. I reached out to ~30 Revenue + RevOps leaders on LinkedIn. Not spam. Not mass automation. Just thoughtful messages based on their roles, and my research of their challenges. Here’s what happened: • 30+ outreach messages sent • 4 replies ( 2 negative, 2 positive) • 1 meeting booked • 1 demo completed. At first glance, that doesn’t feel amazing, but here’s what I’ve learned building BuyerRadar: This is exactly what real pipeline creation looks like. 🚫 Not viral posts. 🚫 Not magic funnels. ✅ Just consistent outreach → conversations → learning. What’s interesting is where the friction shows up. Most leaders I speak to aren’t struggling with outreach volume. They’re struggling with: → Knowing who actually matters in a deal → Understanding who’s missing → And fixing stakeholder gaps before deals stall → Reducing complexity within their tech stack → Streamlining their sales process to enable sales teams to operate more efficiently and focus more on execution.

Next week? ✅ Same process. ✅ More outreach. ✅ More learning. ✅ More iteration. Because a pipeline isn’t built in bursts. It’s built in reps.

Benjamin Sorensen liked thisBenjamin Sorensen liked thisMost sales teams don’t lose deals because of product, price or effort. They lose them because something was missed early. 🚫 A stakeholder not identified. 🚫 A decision process not understood. 🚫 A champion not strong enough. After years working in multiple sales roles, and now in BuyerRadar, I keep seeing the same pattern: 𝘿𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙨 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙨𝙪𝙙𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙡𝙮.

Benjamin Sorensen liked thisBenjamin Sorensen liked thisOne of the biggest mistakes I made building BuyerRadar? I focused on building an MVP… When I should have been building an MVB(Minimum Viable Business). At the start, I thought: 👉 Build the product 👉 Add features 👉 Make it work 👉 Users will come Classic founder thinking. So we built. Features. Workflows. Integrations. Technically… it worked, but something was missing, not functionality, but evidence. The real turning point came when I realised: 𝙒𝙚 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣’𝙩 𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚𝙨; 𝙬𝙚 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 – 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙚-𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝, ��𝙪𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪: • Speak to users weekly • Watch how they actually work • Analyse where deals break • Study patterns across accounts • Understand the real cost of the problem ✅ Not guessing. ✅ Not assuming. ✅ Investigating. That’s when the pivot happened. I stopped asking: 👉 “What should we build next?” And started asking: 👉 “What problem shows up repeatedly in real deals?” That changed everything. We shifted from: ❌ Building what looked impressive to ✅ Building what solved repeated problems, and the difference was huge, not because the product got bigger, but because the problem clarity got sharper. The lesson? 𝘼𝙣 𝙈𝙑𝙋 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜. 𝙍𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜. An MVB proves: 👉 𝙎𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙪𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙗𝙖𝙙𝙡𝙮 𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙖𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙞𝙩. If I were starting again, I’d do this first: 1️⃣ Research the problem deeply. 2️⃣ Find patterns across multiple users. 3️⃣ Validate urgency, not just interest. 4️⃣ Build only what removes friction. Not what looks good in a demo, but what gets used in real life. Looking back… 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙞𝙜𝙜𝙚𝙨𝙩 𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙠 𝙬𝙖𝙨𝙣’𝙩 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙩𝙡𝙚, 𝙄𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙗𝙪𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙡𝙮 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙚𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝. And we still have a long way to go until we can be classed as a MVB 😫🤣
