💡 Most companies waste millions on digital transformation—and fail. What if, instead, you could engineer IT into a high-value asset that fuels exponential growth?
93% of digital transformations fail. Companies throw money at new tech, yet only 7% see real results. Why? Because transformation isn’t just about software—it’s about leadership, execution, and strategy.
🎙️ In this episode of The Forge of Unicorns, Michele Brissoni sits down with Sam Palazzolo, Managing Director at Tip of the Spear Ventures, an elite business strategist who has helped companies scale from $10 million to $1 billion and beyond. With over 1,000 organizations in his portfolio, including global giants like Toyota and GM, Sam reveals why IT isn’t a cost—it’s your company’s greatest untapped goldmine.
🔥 What You’ll Discover:
✅ Why digital transformations fail—and the exact strategies that make the other 7% succeed.
✅ How to turn IT from a budget drain into a profit center—and scale without chaos.
✅ The leadership playbook behind billion-dollar companies—and why execution beats innovation.
✅ Why blindly adopting Agile, DevOps, or Scaled Agile is a recipe for failure.
✅ The key to breaking free from mediocracy and building high-performance teams.
🚀 The Big Takeaway?
At The Forge of Unicorns, we break down how to engineer high-performance companies. Sam Palazzolo proves that IT isn’t just infrastructure—it’s the hidden force that can drive massive business success.

🎙️ EP 48 – Fake Productivity: The Deadly Illusion of AI-Generated Code 💣
📰 Original blog post with all the bibliography: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ep48-fake-productivity-deadly-illusion-ai-generated-brissoni-rlp8c/
---
AI-generated code is flooding development workflows faster than ever—but are we really moving forward, or are we just accelerating into chaos?
In this episode of The Forge of Unicorns, Michele Brissoni unpacks the hard-hitting data behind two years of GenAI-assisted coding and exposes the hidden costs that investors, engineering leaders, and dev teams can’t afford to ignore:
🚨 39.9% drop in refactored code—AI is prioritizing speed over quality.
🚨 17.1% YoY increase in code duplication—leading to brittle, unmaintainable systems.
🚨 77% of devs disengaged, 38% burned out—AI-driven outages are fueling post-production stress cycles.
🔍 The reality?
AI isn’t a software engineer—it’s a pattern replicator trained on an industry with more failures than successes.
And with only 23% accuracy compared to a real modern engineer, GenAI is nowhere near replacing human expertise.
🤔 So, what’s the way forward?
The KBI Framework + SW Craftsmanship Dojo® injects the socio-technical excellence needed to:
✅ Use AI as a cognitive amplifier, not a blind coding machine.
✅ Reduce burnout by balancing automation with human mastery.
✅ Ensure software is built with modern engineering principles, not just “produced” by AI.
💡 Join us as we break down how to harness AI for real productivity—without falling for the illusion.
