Where to find Rebecca and resources

🚀 AI is everywhere, but most organizations are still stuck in “pockets of productivity” that never turn into real business impact. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Homkes explains how leaders can move from GenAI dabbling to deliberate adoption that drives real value creation.

You will learn why “AI strategy” is the wrong framing, how to think about AI as part of growth strategy, and how to build the conditions for organization wide transformation. We cover the adoption curve problem, why ROI is often capped at team level, and the four planks leaders must run in parallel: platform, governance, capability building, and performance transformation.

Key highlights and keywords

Quotes from the Episode

“AI does not change the concept of value creation. The role of AI is to enable, support, and accelerate that value creating journey.”

“You need to work on all four of these at the same time. Most organizational structures are built for sequential governance, not parallel pathing.”

“Heads down execution mode is seen as a point of pride. You should be telling me I am in heads up learning mode.”
