Listen "Is Your Organization Ready for AI?"
Episode Synopsis
AI is showing up in every strategy deck, every board meeting, and every company roadmap. But if you look closely, most AI initiatives are quietly failing long before they ever deliver value.
In this episode of Leading Change in the Wild, I sit down with Brandy Ferrer to break down the real reasons AI projects fall apart and what leaders can do to keep their investments on track.
📉 Here’s what we unpack:
Why “AI first” mindsets push teams to chase hype instead of solving real problems
How unclear goals and poor communication derail even the best technical solutions
The role culture plays in whether employees adopt or reject new AI tools
Why companies overestimate the technology and underestimate the human side
What leaders can do to design AI initiatives that actually stick
AI isn’t magical. It isn’t plug-and-play. And it isn’t a shortcut.
It’s a tool that only works when we prepare our organizations to use it well.
👇 Let’s discuss:
Where do you see AI initiatives breaking down in your industry?
What’s one thing leaders should focus on before implementing AI?
