Ep. 123: Utilizing AI as an Organizational Truth Serum

Most AI strategies struggle not because the technology is immature, but because organizations treat AI as a technical upgrade instead of an organizational shift. In this episode of #shifthappens, Bud Caddell, Founder of NOBL, shares what he’s seeing inside large, complex enterprises in 2026. From the repeated mistakes of the first digital transformation to the week‑by‑week acceleration of AI capability, Bud explains why AI is forcing leaders to confront something deeper: how decisions actually get made, how incentives collide, and which trade‑offs remain unspoken. The conversation focuses on navigating skepticism and silos, and addressing the growing gap between pilot and scale.
