HOW TO RUN AN AI TRANSFORMATION, Not another tool rollout

Leaders looking for an immediate AI Transformation action plan this episode is for you, with a 6 step process breaking down into practical 30, 60, 90, and 180-day execution roadmap !---In this episode of The AI Moment, Jonathan and I unpack the critical strategic mistakes preventing businesses from transitioning from casual experimentation to genuine, scaled AI integration. Moving away from a purely tool-led approach, I introduce his structured 6-step methodology designed to treat AI implementation as a comprehensive business transformation.Our discussion centres heavily on the practicalities of workflow mapping, highlighting the value of capturing ‘unknown knowns’ those undocumented processes that keep companies functioning but are rarely formalised. I also outline my framework for identifying quick wins by categorising tasks into four distinct buckets: accelerate, optimise, cure, and kill. Additionally, this episode stresses the necessity of senior leadership ownership, the application of clear risk frameworks to guide human judgment, and the deployment of agile, cross-functional SWAT teams to prevent departmental silos.
