1. Defining the vision: What problems do we solve? Where do we innovate?

2. Experimenting in action: What works? What breaks?

3. Integrating and scaling: How do we operationalize AI without disrupting the business.

This iterative process isnโ€™t a flaw itโ€™s the necessary work of transformation. Whatโ€™s more, the companies that succeed donโ€™t just use AI, they empower themselves to grow with it.
