The companies pulling ahead don’t have louder visions - they have 𝐂𝐄𝐎𝐬, 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 (𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭) 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐞. I've seen it in boardrooms: The CEO sets the vision - and then the system stalls two layers down. These leaders fix that by: ✔️ Making AI part of the 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐥𝐲 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐡𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐦 ✔️ Demanding 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 between business and tech ✔️ Reviewing at least one 𝐀𝐈-𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 in every exec meeting ✔️ Turning small automations into 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 That’s how they turn hype into profit - not through speeches, but through 𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

Hi Marc — I’m curious about your thoughts on how large organisations can reconcile their vision for an AI-empowered organisation with the reality that many still lack the foundational data and technology maturity needed to scale AI effectively. In my opinion companies rush into AI initiatives before addressing core challenges in data quality, integration, and governance. This typically results in limited impact and poor ROI. In contrast, organisations that focus first on strengthening their data and technology foundations should achieve far greater long-term value from AI and be able to utilise solutions at scale. An approach might be for AI POCs in the most data-mature parts of the business while progressively bringing the rest of the technological landscape to the same standard. What do you think?
You've nailed the execution gap that kills most AI initiatives—vision without operational teeth rarely survives contact with reality. The weekly rhythm point is especially powerful: we've seen companies transform when AI becomes a standing agenda item, not a quarterly strategy refresh. What's been your most effective forcing function for keeping that cross-functional accountability sharp at the exec level?
This IMHO is feeding into the Human character of delegating, but to a Non-human. Which may end-up even reducing the Boardroom.
Great perspective- successful AI transformation is built on discipline and shared accountability. Marc Beierschoder

3w💡 I've seen this dynamic again and again - vision is clear, but execution gets lost two layers down. The real challenge is not ambition. It's alignment.
