    AI did not fail you. You skipped the work.

    I wrote recently about executives who claim big gains from AI they cannot name.  Now let’s talk about another person in the same room.  The one who tried AI once, got a weak answer, and now tells everyone the whole thing is oversold.  It makes things up.  It is not that good.  Case closed. It…

  • Your team is getting big gains from AI. Name one.

    Your team is getting big gains from AI. Name one.

    A few months ago I was chatting in a small circle at an industry event with other leaders and a senior executive described how well his team was using AI. Big gains, he said. Real results. Out of curiosity and potential for us all to learn more – someone asked him to name one. One thing…

    Building a Service-Aware CMDB with CAE

    For many organizations, maintaining a healthy ServiceNow CMDB is an ongoing struggle. A traditional CMDB can give you a solid inventory of servers and databases, but it does not answer the question that matters most: How does this infrastructure support the business?  In our recent masterclass, Maxime Carrier, ITOM Practice Lead at Ateko, and Denise Morrison, ITOM Manager at CAE –…

    Understanding Risk When Building a GenAI Business Case

    Generative AI is at an interesting crossroads. In the last couple of years, enterprise IT has changed significantly and AI is a major reason why. The technology is powerful, but it has taken time to understand how to manage it and make it perform reliably inside real organizations in service of real outcomes.  We’re now moving past the loudest…
