Why this topic matters

Many Enterprise AI pilots stall because the organization builds before it resolves issues like cross-functional ownership, data quality, feasibility, and governance.  The ability to vet AI-ready workflows is a valuable leadership skill.  This session gives you a structured approach for assessing and prioritizing workflow automations that can justify the capital burn of an AI pilot.

I help organizations design and develop AI products that deliver business value

I help organizations design and develop AI products that deliver real business value by producing international conferences, workshops, and in-house cross-functional working sessions. Since co-founding Experience Strategy Partners (ESP) in 2002, I have led product-related strategy consulting for marquee clients like The Home Depot, Coca-Cola, SAP, Lowe’s, Delta Air Lines, BNP Paribas, Philips, Cisco, GE, Macy’s, Bloomingdale’s, and IBM, among others. 


My product strategy workshops have been hosted internally by some of the largest companies in the world, including Google, Meta, Microsoft, Netflix, LinkedIn, Mozilla, IBM, Booking.com, and many others. That work has consistently focused on one challenge: how cross-functional teams make good decisions together in complex environments.
