## Resource

This newsletter from Indy Sawhney discusses the critical challenges of scaling artificial intelligence within large organizations. The author emphasizes that successful AI transformation requires more than just financial investment or executive excitement; it demands internal leadership discipline and a robust execution infrastructure. By citing research on high failure rates for corporate changes, the text warns against the "messy middle" phase where projects often stall due to a lack of clear strategy and employee buy-in. To overcome these hurdles, the source suggests that leaders must build internal transformation muscles, such as dedicated project management offices and active AI councils. Ultimately, the newsletter argues that executives should lead by example by sharing their personal experiences and practical struggles with the technology to inspire authentic organizational adoption.
