#365 Your 90 Day Blueprint for AI Success with Charlene Li, Author of Winning with AI

Most organizations know AI matters, but few have turned that conviction into a written plan. Ambition and hope are everywhere; a clear roadmap tied to business strategy is rare. For teams on the ground, this gap shows up as scattered initiatives, tools nobody fully uses, and a lot of activity that never adds up to real value. So where do you actually start? How do you move from a long list of use cases to a focused plan you can execute? And who in the organization should own the job of turning AI into business results?Charlene Li is a New York Times bestselling author and strategic advisor who has spent more than two decades helping leaders navigate disruptive change. She founded Altimeter Group, has advised 49 of the Fortune 100, and is the co-author of Winning with AI: The 90-Day Blueprint for Success (with Dr. Katia Walsh).In the episode, Richie and Charlene explore how to get your organization AI-ready in 90 days, why you don't need a separate AI strategy, appointing an AI value owner, creating value beyond efficiency, building AI fluency, Goldilocks governance, why you should kill your AI pilots, and much more.Links Mentioned in the Show:Winning with AI: The 90-Day Blueprint for SuccessDr. Katia Walsh (co-author)ModernaKonectaIKEAAndrej Karpathy's LLM WikiConnect with Charlene: LinkedInAI-Native Course: Intro to AI for WorkRelated Episode: Our Data Trends & Predictions for 2026 with Jonathan Cornelissen & Martijn TheuwissenNew to DataCamp?
