In this new Enterprise AI Field Notes deep dive, Srini Annamaraju (aka, 'the tech guy') and David Royle (who's 'the business guy') take the story past design into delivery — from the Target Operating Model (TOM) to the everyday reality of running AI inside the enterprise.

Through the lens of a real Bank's AI copilot rollout, name changed to "Albion Bank", they map how real transformation happens inside the Enterprise AI Honeycomb — a connected system of data, models, patterns, platforms, and guardrails that must all work in harmony.

💡 What we cover:

• Why do most AI “pilots” stall before production — and how to stop the fade?
• How data decisions shape every downstream fork in the journey?
• What “brains, behaviour, and nervous system” really mean in AI design?
• How to build hybrid platforms that stay compliant and fast?
• What does it take to shift from ad-hoc prompting to disciplined LLMOps?
• Why security, governance, and economics are the body’s immune system and heartbeat?

Srini breaks down the technical scaffold — how the ten cells of the honeycomb connect to deliver measurable ROI.

David probes rigorously from the business side — questioning trade-offs, accountability, and real-world friction.

Together they turn AI from a keynote fantasy into a hard-nosed operating reality.
