Explainer Program Management

This is a short introduction for program managers, controllers, and the leaders who read their reports.

Why your AI pilot worked, and your rollout didn't.

Recording and editing this weekend. The next explainer looks at the specific gap between a successful AI pilot in a controlled environment and a rollout that stalls at production scale. Program managers running AI adoption for the first time see this pattern repeatedly and rarely name it out loud.
