About The Collation
What is The Collation?
A space for notes, insights, and emerging signals from the front row of AI - with one goal: separating signal from noise to drive meaningful transformation.
We examine the trends, movements, and ideas shaping the next era of innovation - spanning AI, agents, and beyond - to surface the perspectives, strategies, and signals that matter most for those leading the next wave of change.
In sum, we break down what is actually changing, and why, so leaders can plan for and focus on what comes next - and get there first.
About the Author
The Collation is written by Colin Budd, a technology leader working at the intersection of AI, strategy, and organizational transformation.
His work spans enterprise innovation, emerging technologies, and the realities of building and leading AI solutions inside organizations of all sizes - from Fortune 10 companies to pre-seed startups.
The perspectives shared here are independent, reflecting personal research, experience, and synthesis - not the views of any employer or organization.
