Here's a question we'd encourage every executive to ask this week:
For each AI initiative your team is running right now: do you know if it's actually working?
Not "is it running." Not "did we launch it." But: is it delivering real business value?
There are three signals that tell you immediately:
✅ The team has the authority to act on AI outputs without waiting for approval
✅ There are feedback loops in place that validate whether the AI is moving the right metrics
✅ There is a clear, specific outcome the initiative is optimizing for
When all three are true, AI compounds, teams learn faster, decisions improve, and value builds.
But when even one is missing, the best technology in the world stalls because the organization around it wasn't ready to use what it produced.
Which of these three does your organization do best, and which needs the most work? We'd love to hear. 👇
