Most organisations have an AI strategy. Almost none of them have one that works. The failure mode is always the same: a slide deck of vendor promises, a pilot graveyard, and a governance vacuum. This episode is the alternative — a 4-phase framework for building an AI strategy that gets used, updated, and actually changes how the organisation operates.
In this episode:
→ The 5 AI strategy failure modes — which one does your organisation have?
→ What a working AI strategy actually contains — 5 components, 10-15 pages, not a 100-page roadmap
→ Phase 1: Inventory and assess — current-state assessment, shadow AI audit, pilot candidate shortlist
→ Phase 2: Pilot and validate — the 3 disciplines: baseline before launch, named owner, 6-week kill decision
→ Phase 3: Scale what works — why change management is harder than the technology
→ Phase 4: Govern and evolve — preventing both under-use and over-use
→ The SMB version — the same framework at smaller scale
→ The living strategy — how to prevent your AI strategy from becoming shelfware
