AI Insights: Your strategy is expiring faster than you can print it
Organisations are operating at tempos that no longer match the challenges they face, writes Suhit Anantula.
When Sanjam Kohli, co-founder and CEO of AI platform Chefadora, poses your strategic challenges, who gives better advice? The human with experience and intuition? The AI with pattern recognition and framework mastery? Or both working together — what I call co-intelligence?
This isn’t a gimmick. It’s the central argument of my new book, The Helix Moment. Strategy in the AI age isn’t about humans OR machines making decisions. It’s about building infrastructure where both types of intelligence work on their piece of the puzzle and fit together.
On October 29th at Stone & Chalk Adelaide, I’m running an experiment I’ve never seen at a book launch: a three-way panel discussion between me (the human author), Helix Nexus GPT (an AI trained on the book), and you — the audience bringing real strategic challenges.
Jane Goodall once said: “If you look at the world as a jigsaw puzzle, it can feel overwhelming. But if you work on your little piece, and fit it with others, together we can build a better picture of the world.”
That’s what we’re testing on October 29.
The problem we’re solving

I watch the same ritual play out every planning cycle: months of workshops, consultants flown in, PowerPoint decks refined, three-year roadmaps approved. By the time the strategy lands on desks, the market has already shifted. A startup has pivoted. An AI tool has automated what the plan assumed would take years. The carefully architected strategy is already obsolete.
This isn’t a failure of execution—it’s what I call a rhythm mismatch. Organisations are operating at tempos that no longer match the challenges they face. The question isn’t “What’s our strategy?” anymore. It’s “What rhythm are we running at—and can we switch fast enough?”
Lines, Loops, and Vibes: Three operational rhythms
The Helix Moment introduces a framework I call Lines, Loops, Vibes (LLV)—three distinct rhythms organisations must master:
- Lines represent structure and scaling, deployed when something is working and needs to be systematised. This is the traditional domain of strategy: process optimisation, efficiency gains, predictable growth.
- Loops represent iteration and learning, used when organisations are still discovering what works. This is the rhythm of experimentation—rapid testing, feedback integration, adaptive pivots.
- Vibes represent sensing and emergence, activated when leaders don’t yet know what they don’t know. This is the domain of pattern recognition, weak signal detection, and navigating fundamental uncertainty.
Most strategic failures stem from rhythm mismatches—running loops when lines are needed, forcing structure when emergence is required. In an era where AI can rewrite business models overnight, knowing which rhythm to activate becomes the critical leadership skill.

Why the three-way panel matters
Which brings us back to October 29. The three-way panel format demonstrates co-intelligence in action: human thinking (me), AI thinking (Helix Nexus GPT), and facilitation infrastructure (Sanjam’s moderation) working together.
Sanjam Kohli knows this territory firsthand. Her platform, Chefadora, uses AI to help food creators bridge cultures and monetise recipes—technology that enhances human creativity rather than replaces it. She’s been recognized as a finalist in the 7NEWS Australia Young Achiever Awards for Female Tech Entrepreneur, and she brings exactly the perspective this conversation needs: technical depth meets cultural insight.
Want your challenge featured? Submit it by October 27th email me at suhit[at]anantula.com, and Sanjam might pose it during the live panel.
Co-intelligence as strategic infrastructure
The book positions strategy and design as two intertwined strands—like DNA—spiralling together in what I call “Co-Intelligence”: humans and AI working in synchronised rhythm rather than humans simply deploying AI tools.
For startup founders, this means building business models that evolve faster than competitors can copy them. For tech leaders, it’s designing teams where AI augmentation accelerates learning loops rather than just automating tasks. For innovation professionals, it introduces Loop Design—a methodology for organisations that need to sense, learn, and evolve in real time.
The October 29 panel will test this framework live. Where does human strategic thinking outperform AI? Where does AI pattern-matching accelerate what takes humans hours? What emerges when they work together that neither could create alone?
