In this new Enterprise AI Field Notes deep dive, Srini Annamaraju (aka, 'the tech guy') and David Royle (who's 'the business guy') take the story past design into delivery — from the Target Operating Model (TOM) to the everyday reality of running AI inside the enterprise.

Through the lens of a real Bank's AI copilot rollout, name changed to "Albion Bank", they map how real transformation happens inside the Enterprise AI Honeycomb — a connected system of data, models, patterns, platforms, and guardrails that must all work in harmony.

💡 What we cover:

Why do most AI “pilots” stall before production — and how to stop the fade?
How data decisions shape every downstream fork in the journey?
What “brains, behaviour, and nervous system” really mean in AI design?
How to build hybrid platforms that stay compliant and fast?
What does it take to shift from ad-hoc prompting to disciplined LLMOps?
Why security, governance, and economics are the body’s immune system and heartbeat?

Srini breaks down the technical scaffold — how the ten cells of the honeycomb connect to deliver measurable ROI.

David probes rigorously from the business side — questioning trade-offs, accountability, and real-world friction.

Together they turn AI from a keynote fantasy into a hard-nosed operating reality.
