What are the emerging digital and AI trends? How do they impact business growth?
How can digital and AI transformation produce more value?
What is AI hype, and what is real?
How can you become a better AI leader?

DVC107 - The AI Divide - Success Beyond AI Pilots
Success Beyond AI Pilots - Discover how AI Leaders deliver value from their projects - in 30 minutes
Most companies are racing to adopt GenAI—but only a small minority are seeing measurable P&L impact. In Episode 107 we unpack the “GenAI divide”: why enterprise rollouts stall while employees quietly get value from consumer tools; how to kill vanity metrics and track real outcomes; when to buy vs. build; and what it takes to scale agentic AI safely (orchestration, MCP, human-in-the-loop at the hard edges, full observability, reversibility). We close with an industry reality check and a concrete playbook of where value is landing first.
Why the GenAI Divide Matters: Discussing the hype vs. value problem and what “real impact” means for the P&L.
🎯 Watch for: outcome KPIs over adoption stats; greenfield + workflow-embedded agents; partner leverage where you don’t have scale; governance that enables speed without sacrificing control.
Chapters:
1️⃣ — ⚖️ Consumer vs. Enterprise AI: The Paradox & Risk - 1:45
Employees get value from consumer tools while enterprise access lags; the rise of unsanctioned use.
2️⃣ — 📊 Metrics That Matter: Productivity ≠ Business Value - 4:30
How vanity metrics mislead; focus on process change, cost-to-serve, revenue lift, legacy retirement.

Why internal AI stacks stall; when partnerships more than double success odds.
4️⃣ — 🏁 Comparative Advantage: Focus Where You Win - 11:13
Reallocate scarce talent from platform building to domain-differentiating use cases.
5️⃣ — 🚀 Pilot → Production: Why Pilots Fail & How to Cross the Chasm - 13:06
Why demos break at scale; integrate with core systems; mid-market playbook for <90-day production.
6️⃣ — 🔁 The Missing Learning Flywheel (Trust Gap) - 15:38
Systems must remember, adapt, and improve—otherwise users won’t trust them for high-stakes work.
7️⃣ — 🤖 Agentic AI 101: Orchestration, MCP & Guardrails - 17:50
Goal-seeking agents with tools; MCP vs. APIs; designing for adoption with HITL, observability, reversibility.
8️⃣ — 🏢 Industry Reality Check: Who’s Actually Winning? - 24:18
Tech & media lead; many ops-heavy sectors lag; functional pockets of traction emerge first.
9️⃣ — 🕶️ Shadow AI → Productize, Don’t Prohibit - 26:42
Don’t ban it—productize it. Embed in workflows. Support Learning.
🔟 —💰 Where P&L Value Lands - 28:25
Early wins are in legal review, & contracts, AP automation, sales ops, and code generation. AI Leaders use the “Start small, Be Selective, Scale what matters” playbook.
