## Resource

The era of curiosity is over. Retailers are finding that moving from a flashy demo to a trusted, scalable production environment is much harder than a slide deck makes it look. In this episode, op Retail Expert & AI Leader, Charisma Glassman sits down with Mark Abramowitz, CMO of Dataiku, to discuss how leaders can hit their performance targets before the 2026 budget reckoning. WHY YOU SHOULD LISTEN: - The Regret Gap: Why 74% of CIOs are second-guessing their AI platforms and how to pivot before budgets are frozen. - The Success Formula: Moving beyond "AI Chaos" by focusing on the three pillars: People, Orchestration, and Governance. - Agentic Reality: How organizations like SoftBank and Roche are saving hundreds of thousands of hours by operationalizing AI on day one. - Vibe Coding and Creativity: Why accessible AI is turning non-technical leaders into creators and why that is the ultimate competitive advantage. Stop managing the hype. Start building for business impact.
