Is Your AI Strategy Outrunning Your Leadership? Leadership in the Intelligent Age: Beyond GPUs

Описание: Is your AI strategy outrunning your leadership? Discover why 95% of AI pilots fail and how to solve the $5.2 trillion "Enterprise Paradox" by shifting focus from technical infrastructure to Leadership Inner Structure.

In this episode of Leadership for the Intelligent Age, host Jay Ruffin joins Charlie Hugh-Jones and Jonas to dissect the critical gap between massive AI investment and the human capacity to govern it. We move beyond GPUs and LLMs to explore the CAPEx Framework—a leadership discipline designed to eliminate "AI Slop" and manage the growing technical debt of the Intelligent Age.
Key Highlights
Charlie Hugh-Jones (Executive Coach & Author) and Yonas Yohannes (Tech Expert, Founder, former McKinsey Partner) reveal how to bridge the chasm between "Outer Structure" (Compute/GPUs) and "Inner Structure" (Values/Integrity). They expose why capital velocity is outrunning human metabolism, the risk of "Cognitive Offloading," and how to turn governance from a bureaucratic bottleneck into a high-speed innovation accelerator.

From FSI case studies (HSBC, Citi, ING) to Decision Stewardship, discover how to move past the "Mechanistic Model" to achieve ethical, scalable ROI. Perfect for AI leaders, transformation pros, and anyone navigating the high-stakes frontier of the Intelligent Age.
