Many organizations have an AI strategy. Far fewer have built the organizational foundations needed for AI to create lasting business value.

Generative AI has made it easier than ever to experiment with AI. Yet many leaders are discovering that deploying AI tools and creating meaningful business value are two very different things.

In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli speaks with Fern Halper, internationally recognized AI and data strategist, founder of the AI Foundations Group, and author of Data Makes the World Go Round: The Data, Tech, and Trust Behind AI Success. Drawing on decades of experience in data, analytics, and AI, Fern explains why successful AI initiatives begin long before an organization deploys its first model.

Together, they explore why some organizations move beyond AI experimentation while others struggle to scale their efforts. Rather than focusing on the latest tools or technologies, the conversation examines the leadership, organizational, and data foundations that determine whether AI becomes a source of lasting business value or another initiative that falls short of expectations.

Whether you're shaping your organization's AI strategy, leading a transformation effort, or trying to separate today's AI hype from long-term reality, this conversation offers practical insights for building an organization that is prepared not just to adopt AI, but to create sustained value from it.
