The Judgment Reservoir
Summary
The Judgment Reservoir argues that as AI accelerates execution, organizations must deliberately cultivate human judgment to maintain coherence with strategic intent. It presents a four-part infrastructure—visibility, consequential roles, decision processes, and challenging prevailing judgment—to sustain decision quality. Through examples from Amazon (COE) and Shopify (River), the piece shows how apprenticeship and observable decision-making build judgment, and it warns that without intentional investments in judgment renewal, AI-driven productivity will erode strategic capability and lead to convergence toward a common but potentially flawed center.
