The Challenge
The organization had fragmented AI initiatives across business units with no unified strategy. Teams were experimenting with AI in silos, leading to duplicated efforts, inconsistent quality, and inability to scale successful pilots. Leadership recognized AI's potential but lacked a cohesive approach to realize enterprise-wide value.
My Approach

- Developed enterprise AI strategy aligned with business objectives and growth targets
- Established AI Center of Excellence to centralize expertise and governance
- Created upskilling program that trained 500+ employees in AI technologies
- Implemented governance framework for responsible AI deployment
- Built partnerships with leading AI vendors and academic institutions
- Established metrics and KPIs to track AI value realization
Technologies & Tools
Key Learnings
AI transformation success depends more on organizational change management than technology implementation. Executive sponsorship and clear governance are essential. Organizations that treat AI as a strategic capability rather than a technology initiative achieve significantly better outcomes.
