Featured on Minerva Meets Podcast: The Human Side of Enterprise AI

I'm excited to share that I was recently featured on the Minerva Meets Podcast, where I had the opportunity to discuss what's actually happening inside organizations as AI scales, why ROI is still hard to capture, and why the human side of AI matters more than most teams expect.

In this episode, hosted by Sonal Chandler, we dive deep into the real challenges companies face when implementing AI at scale—beyond the hype and pilot projects. We explore training strategies, governance frameworks, new roles emerging in AI-driven organizations, and the critical gap between experimenting with AI and making it stick.

What We Discussed on Minerva Meets

This conversation was particularly meaningful because it addressed the questions I hear most often from leaders:

Why is ROI Still Hard to Capture?

Many companies experiment with AI tools, but struggle to demonstrate measurable business impact. We discussed why this happens and what actually works when it comes to connecting AI initiatives to real business outcomes.

The Human Side of AI Implementation

Technology is only part of the equation. The human side—training, change management, governance, and creating new roles—often determines whether AI initiatives succeed or fail. This is where most organizations underestimate the work required.

Making AI Stick in Organizations

There's a significant gap between experimenting with AI and making it stick. We explored practical strategies for moving from pilot projects to sustainable, organization-wide AI adoption.

Training and Governance

Effective AI training goes beyond tool tutorials. We discussed how to build AI capability across teams, establish governance that enables speed (not slows it down), and create frameworks that support innovation while maintaining security and compliance.
