AI Strategy Drift When IT and Operations Build in Parallel

This mini episode unpacks how misalignment between leadership, IT, and operations turns AI initiatives into duplicated work and surprise deployments.

The focus is on rebuilding communication, trust, and tactical alignment so AI workstreams stay coordinated and outcome-driven.   Watch the full episode here: https://youtube.com/live/KI-lnkDspKg    Connect with me on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylercheatham/  Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kyler_cheatham_tech/   Follow me on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@kylercheatham   Connect with The Confluencial https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-confluencial   Follow The Confluencial on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the.confluencial
