What does it take to lead digital transformation inside a $900 million health system without losing your mind or your mission? In this episode of The Enterprise Edge, host Mark Vigoroso sits down with John McDaniel, CIO of Trinity Health, who is doing exactly that: running parallel implementations of Epic and Workday, decommissioning over 100 legacy applications, and building an AI governance framework that draws a precise, principled line between administrative AI(which Trinity is aggressively deploying to recover an estimated $36 million in ambulatory undercoding) and clinical AI (where FDA vetting is non-negotiable). McDaniel brings a rare perspective - nearly five decades in enterprise technology, starting at NCR in 1977 - and distills it into ideas that cut through the hype: "thin slicing" every vendor claim down to its root cause impact, renaming IT the "Digital Transformation Group" to signal a fundamental shift in how technology serves the organization, and insisting that successful implementations are won or lost not on thesophistication of the technology, but on process design, data readiness, and stakeholder alignment. If you're a CIO, an aspiring technology leader, or anyone navigating the white-water rapids of enterprise AI - in healthcare or any other industry - join us for this practical episode.
