Sangeet Paul Choudary - Reshuffle: Figma Adobe and Just about Everything

In this episode of the Innovation Show, Aidan McCullen interviews Sangeet Paul Choudary, author of "Platform Revolution," "Platform Scale," and "Reshuffle," about how companies can adapt to technological shifts, particularly in the age of AI. They discuss the case of Figma versus Adobe, highlighting how Figma re-architected its business around the cloud's architectural properties by shifting the unit of work from the file to the element, enabling enterprise-wide governance and reusability. Choudary emphasizes that incumbents often mistake adoption for adaptation and that the winners in the age of AI will be those who rebuild their mindset around what AI makes possible. He also touches on how AI unbundles knowledge work, changing how workflows, organizations, and competition are structured, and advises listeners to focus on unlearning old strategies and identifying new opportunities for value and agency in the reshuffled landscape.
