Jones to talk about what AI adoption actually looks like inside real companies, not on Twitter. We get into why most rollouts stall even after a company has already paid for the tools, why people who struggle to sell AI usually have a storytelling problem instead, and why the non-technical side of the C-suite ends up being the real bottleneck. If you have been trying to get AI working at your company, or trying to sell it to one, this one is for you.
