GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer)
A GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is an advanced AI model trained on vast amounts of data to understand and generate human-like language. A private GPT is no longer just a chatbot—it’s a strategic knowledge asset. It absorbs a company’s tribal knowledge, operational workflows, training materials, and customer insights, transforming it into an always-on, AI-powered assistant that serves employees, customers, or partners 24/7.

UGC Marketing (User-Generated Content)
Definition: A marketing strategy that leverages content created by customers, fans, or community members rather than the brand itself. Examples: Social media posts (photos, videos, tweets, Instagram stories); reviews and testimonials on websites or platforms; third-party blog posts and video content; forum discussions; user-created live streams or unboxing videos.
Value Architecture
Value Architecture is the strategic discipline of designing business systems where revenue generation and technical implementation flow together seamlessly rather than operating as disconnected functions. I approach Value Architecture as the deliberate construction of organizational frameworks where business promises align perfectly with technical delivery capabilities. This requires mapping the complete value creation ecosystem—from client needs through revenue strategy to technical execution—and identifying connection points that others miss. In my practice, Value Architecture means eliminating the costly translation layer between business and technical teams. It means architecting systems where AI amplifies human capabilities rather than simply automating tasks. It means building revenue models with technical foundations strong enough to support them. The essence of my Value Architecture approach is seeing businesses as unified systems rather than specialized departments. This perspective allows me to identify and eliminate value leaks that occur at the boundaries between traditional organizational silos, creating cohesive strategies that deliver sustainable results across all dimensions.
