OP #272: AI Adoption Survey

Hi OP Community,

I’ll keep this one short and to the point—there’s something important I need your help with.

I’m running a survey to gauge AI adoption across our community, and I’d love for you to take 5-10 minutes to fill it out.

The goal? To share the anonymized results with you in an upcoming Operating Partner letter. Your insights will help paint a clear picture of where we stand with AI across our organizations, specifically, within our growth functions.

If you’re curious why AI is top of mind, check out this previous OP. I may be a little biased, but I’m a big believer in its transformative power—both for today and what’s next. And I’m not alone. Rishad Tobaccowala’s thoughts on this are worth a read too.

So, take a minute and dive in. As a small thank you, I’ll send a surprise package to three randomly selected participants.

I’m aiming for 100 responses out of the thousands of you—let’s make it happen!

We’ll be back to regularly scheduled OP content next week.

Thanks in advance!

Darren
