Most companies are getting AI transformation spectacularly wrong. In this eye-opening episode, we sit down with data and AI thought leader Nan Li to uncover why adoption—not technology—remains the #1 barrier to AI success.
Forget the buzzwords and empty promises. This is a no-nonsense conversation about what actually works in AI transformation. Nan challenges the conventional wisdom, revealing why starting with "Can we build it?" is the wrong question and sharing the practical framework that successful organizations use instead.
What You'll Learn:
