Elaine challenges the all-too-common \"AI mandate\" problem head-on, urging leaders to start with the right questions: What problem are we trying to solve, and can AI actually help? Drawing on her experience at Nike and American Express, she shares battle-tested frameworks for AI governance, cross-functional rollout, and building champion programs that drive sustainable adoption from the bottom up — not just the top down. From Lowe's Milo to Wingstop's Smart Kitchen, this conversation is packed with real-world proof that the most effective AI strategies are designed around humans first, tools second. Essential listening for CIOs, IT leaders, and anyone trying to navigate the gap between AI hype and measurable business impact.
