In this episode, host Mike Hoffman sits down with Noel Goggin, multi-time CEO and AI implementation veteran, to explore how executives can navigate the stark reality of AI adoption where 70-95% of projects fail despite widespread claims of success.
Noel shares hard-won insights from five years of AI initiatives, revealing why companies must shift from internal process automation to product transformation and why traditional delegation approaches doom AI projects from the start.
Together, they discuss the critical need for founder mode leadership with dedicated cross-functional teams, how AI accelerates destructive political behaviors in organizations, and why the entire commercial model—from SaaS pricing to customer value delivery—requires fundamental rethinking in the AI era.
