In this episode, you'll hear:
The gap between executive confidence and practitioner reality on AI talent
What that disconnect looks like inside a real organization
Why HR reports the lowest AI confidence of any function
Why job description clarity predicts AI maturity more than budget
The difference between naming governance as a problem and fixing it
Why most organizations can't prove AI ROI to finance
