#151: What AI Is Really Delivering (and What It’s Not) with Evan Leybourn & Christopher Morales


Listen Later

Is AI underdelivering? Or are we asking the wrong questions? This episode breaks down what actually leads to business ROI with AI (and no, it’s not more automation).

Overview

What if AI isn’t the silver bullet—yet—but the bottleneck is human, not technical?

In this episode, Brian Milner chats with Evan Leybourn and Christopher Morales of the Business Agility Institute about their latest research on how organizations are really using AI, what’s working (and what’s wildly overhyped), and why your success might hinge more on your culture than your code.
