Ashu Bhatia on Value Engineering and AI Strategy That Actually Works


Listen Later

Most companies invest millions in AI tools but fail because they skip the foundation that makes AI work.

In this episode, I'm joined by Ashu Bhatia - Global Head of Dexian and Season Technology, AI Transformation Leader with 25+ years at Accenture, Microsoft, American Express, and Siemens, and author of "Value Creation" - who reveals why 60-70% of consulting work still focuses on data foundations, not AI deployment.

We discuss: 

– Why messy data gets exposed (not fixed) by AI
– The three pillars 95% of organizations overlook when building AI readiness 
– Three critical leadership behaviors: clarity, simplification, and prioritization
– How to escape "pilot purgatory" and move AI projects into production
