Trustworthy Technology Requires Trustworthy Leadership
That is why Scott Becker's Building Great Businesses is worth attention from the TTIC community.
The book is not about AI governance, cybersecurity, or standards. Its relevance is deeper: it is about how durable organizations are built through trust, judgment, humility, discretion, learning, and disciplined execution.
Those are the same leadership capacities required for responsible AI adoption.
In an AI-driven economy, content and analysis will become easier to produce. What remains scarce is trusted judgment: the ability to interpret what matters, protect confidence, connect people responsibly, and act with integrity under extreme complexity.
Scott has modeled that for years across healthcare. His work is a reminder that influence is not the same as visibility, and access is not the same as proximity. The leaders who matter most are the ones people trust when the stakes are high.
For TTIC, that is the lesson: governance is not only a technical or policy function. It is a leadership discipline, practiced under extreme complexity.
Congratulations, Scott, on Building Great Businesses. This is a useful read for anyone working to build institutions, networks, and technology adoption models that last.
