Why do 70% of technology transformations fail? It's not the technology. It's the adoption.

In this episode, Donna P. Mitchell, The Transformation Authority™, speaks with Jeff Mahony, a technologist with three decades of experience building scalable financial systems. Jeff shares a provocative framework that every executive racing to implement AI needs to hear:

"AI is a sociopath. It has no understanding of right and wrong."

This isn't fear-mongering. It's a framework for responsible transformation. Jeff breaks down why mass AI adoption is premature, how "agency equals bias" when amplified through technology, and why human oversight isn't optional—it's "hyper-necessary."

Whether you're a C-suite executive, transformation leader, or technology strategist, this episode delivers the governance perspective missing from most AI conversations.
