In this episode, I explore the critical shift from AI adoption to AI orchestration — and why Communication Leaders are uniquely positioned to lead it. Drawing on real-world examples and strategic frameworks, we examine how to move beyond tool rollout and into the territory of sustained performance improvement.

This episode builds on insights from my latest booklet, "From AI Adoption to AI Impact" — a guide for senior leaders navigating the complexity of the "second-order challenge"

What you'll gain:

• How to reframe AI success from usage metrics to business outcomes
• The leadership behaviors that accelerate orchestration over adoption
• A practical lens for measuring transformation ROI in Communication functions

At FocusFirst, we help senior leaders in Group Functions translate strategy into measurable transformation — faster, clearer, and with lasting impact.
