How can leaders move beyond the noise and overwhelm of AI to create value for their teams and organizations? In this episode, Kevin talks with Matt Kesby about why AI is not just a technology challenge, but a change management challenge. Matt explains why organizations should avoid chasing shiny tools and instead focus on the systems, processes, and repetitive work where AI and automation can create measurable "value impact." He also introduces the difference between makers, watchers, and blamers, encouraging leaders to act now by documenting tasks, identifying opportunities for improvement, and building clear procedures that both people and AI can follow.
