Chris Daigle sits down with Chris Duffy, AI strategist and fractional Chief AI Officer, to talk about how companies can adopt AI in a way that is responsible, practical, and centered on people. Chris explains why most organizations do not need more tools. They need clarity, governance, and leadership alignment.

They discuss how to identify true bottlenecks in a business, how to design AI policies that actually get used, and why focusing on real workflow problems drives far more value than chasing shiny technology. Chris also shares how fractional AI leadership works in companies that are not ready to hire a full time CAIO and why the most successful AI programs start with listening before building.

This episode gives leaders a blueprint for implementing AI with intention, trust, and measurable impact.

In this episode, Chris Daigle is joined by Kristin Ginn, founder of trnsfrmAItn, to discuss the real reason most companies fail with AI adoption. Spoiler: it is not the technology. It is the humans.

Kristin breaks down why AI productivity gains at the individual level rarely translate into measurable organizational outcomes and how to close that gap by activating employees through mindset shifts, habit building and better enablement strategies. You will learn how leaders can make AI visible from the top down and how champions can drive change from the bottom up so the entire organization benefits.

This conversation is a practical guide for business leaders who want AI to increase productivity, energy and competitive capability without leaving humans behind.
