AI is not your strategy: Author and business advisor Brian Evergreen explains why vision comes first
About this episode
Brian Evergreen discusses the importance of vision over technology in AI strategy.
Brian Evergreen worked in AI at Microsoft from 2016 to 2023, including a role helping Fortune 500 executives develop their AI strategies. He kept seeing the same pattern: most of those projects were failing. He set out to figure out why, and the answer became his book, Autonomous Transformation . In this live recording for GeekWire's Agents of Transformation series , presented by Accenture , Evergreen explains what companies keep getting wrong, and why vision matters more than technology.
