Armando J. Perez-Carreno makes a simple point in this solo episode. Most companies already have access to AI. The real problem is that they have not deployed it. He walks through why 78 percent of organizations report using AI while almost none have a mature rollout, and what that gap costs a business.
From there he gets practical. He explains how to pick the right workflow to improve first, and why mapping your process beats buying another tool every time. If you want AI to move the needle instead of sitting in a tab, this is a good place to start.
