The Enterprise Shift: Building AI Value Without the Buzzwords

"You have to think of AI as not just tech. It's a strategic capability that all team should have and understand—especially CEOs." In this episode of Owning the Outcome, Jeff Pedowitz, founder and CEO of The Pedowitz Group, talks about what it takes to drive transformation for enterprise clients in the age of AI. With over a decade of experience helping large organizations modernize how they grow, Jeff shares how his team approaches AI, data quality, and strategy with clarity, pragmatism, and a consultant’s edge.
