AI won't fix it all for you. 🚨 Data accuracy > shiny promises. Stay wary of 'AI-enhanced everything'—test it first, always. Process efficiency? ✅ Automating human judgment?🚫 Thoughts on AI hype in enterprise? #AIethics #EnterpriseAI #CIOchat

CIOs: Don’t jump straight into action. Step 1️⃣: Find out what IT, other teams & execs really think. Step 2️⃣: Ask the board which reports *actually* matter. Step 3️⃣: Hold off major changes. Change fatigue kills strategy. Who’s felt this? #TechLeadership #CIOChat #ChangeManagement
