Assumptions are invisible. They're the stories we tell ourselves before we have all the facts, and they shape everything from everyday conversations to billion-dollar business decisions. In technology, where AI, automation, and rapid innovation amplify both good and bad decisions, unchecked assumptions can become costly mistakes.
Today's guest is Carl-Johan Rosenberg, creator of the concept of Assumptology, a framework for understanding how assumptions influence our thinking, decisions, and organizations. In this conversation, we'll explore why assumptions matter, the hidden risks they create, how to challenge them more effectively, and why mastering this skill may be one of the most important advantages in the age of AI.
