I’m Dr. Rob Konrad Maciejewski. Over the past two decades I’ve built and led companies, launched products, and worked closely with teams in tech, health, and innovation — experiences that taught me one thing clearly: people don’t get stuck because they lack ability. They get stuck because the reference points they once depended on stop working.

Today, that feeling — when familiar patterns no longer signal where you fit or how to move forward — shows up everywhere. It isn’t just career uncertainty or technology anxiety. In a world reshaped by rapid change (including AI), humans and organizations are wrestling with how to stay relevant, how to make sense of what’s next, and how to act when the old maps don’t apply.

I tackle these challenges in three ways: building tools and products that help people navigate change with clarity; writing and curating Thinking Beyond AI as a space for grounded thought and reflection; and speaking to audiences directly — helping them name what they’re experiencing and discover where relevance still lives so they can take their next meaningful step.
