77: Using AI at Work to Fix Business Bottlenecks with Chris Duffy
Chris Daigle sits down with Chris Duffy, AI strategist and fractional Chief AI Officer, to talk about how companies can adopt AI in a way that is responsible, practical, and centered on people. Chris explains why most organizations do not need more tools. They need clarity, governance, and leadership alignment.
They discuss how to identify true bottlenecks in a business, how to design AI policies that actually get used, and why focusing on real workflow problems drives far more value than chasing shiny technology. Chris also shares how fractional AI leadership works in companies that are not ready to hire a full time CAIO and why the most successful AI programs start with listening before building.
This episode gives leaders a blueprint for implementing AI with intention, trust, and measurable impact.
