Productivity gains do not happen in isolation. The way an individual manages their attention compounds into how a team produces ideas. The way a team collaborates compounds into how an organisation makes decisions. The way an organisation is structured compounds into how it adapts to technological change.
These are not separate problems. They are layers of the same problem, and they multiply.
When you get all three layers right, the gains are extraordinary. When even one layer is broken, it drags down the others. Compounding is about understanding how all of this fits together — and what AI is doing to the entire stack.
