Greenfield Mindsets for the AI Era - You Could Have Greenfield Opportunities: Here’s How to Find Them

​Join us and learn to use Greenfield thinking to unlock what’s possible, beyond the limits of “how it’s always been” with fellow Delver, Thomas Meloche.

​AI is resetting the playing field—making what once seemed impossible suddenly practical. But the real greenfield opportunities aren’t just in your codebase. They’re in your culture, your practices, and your leadership mindset.

​In this talk, Tom Meloche reveals how leaders can spot and act on greenfield moments across three domains: Culture, Code, and Head. He’ll show how intentional ceremonies can reshape collaboration, how AI flips the economics of “buy vs. build,” and how legacy thinking can blind leaders to what’s now possible.

​Through a hands-on Greenfield Mapping exercise, attendees will identify current “brownfield habits” in their organizations and reframe them as intentional opportunities for growth.

​The takeaway: Greenfield isn’t a place—it’s a mindset. With AI accelerating change, the organizations that thrive will be those that notice, seize, and steward these opportunities before inertia takes hold.
