There a lot of organizations that aren't making forward progress. They're doing a ton of work. They're doing a lot of proof-of-concepts, but they keep spinning because they want it to be absolutely perfect. You don't have to wait for it to meet every single business requirement and meet every single need. Move quickly, see value, and iterate.

All organizations have some sort of fear whether that be from a legal, risk, compliance. There's lots of doomsday scenarios that people like to kind of think about and talk about every way it could go wrong and a lot of people fear that AI is going to take their job. I think what people don't realize is that AI is going to result in the creation of net new jobs and it's going to allow them to focus on higher value activities within the workflow.

They're no longer stuck doing the busy work that can be automated and done for them and they can spend their time doing higher value activities. People shouldn't just be doing AI for the sake of doing AI. There should be a link to business value, and the use cases should be prioritized in a way to be able to unlock that business value.

The best way to go about certain situations is to break down the big business problem into small chunks, get something into production, and then iterate on that and add onto it. It doesn't have to be 100% perfect from day one in order to put it into production.

I don't think there's ever going to be a perfect moment to jump in. People just need to get started. Every little win that you have should not go uncelebrated. The more you communicate that throughout the organization, the more comfortable people will be with it. The trust is very essential.
