Pattern Recognized

Most organizations "do AI" by handing it to the engineers, and six months later nothing about the real work has changed. In this episode, Josh makes the case that AI adoption fails at the human layer, not the machine layer. He explains why most failures are baked in before an engineer ever touches a tool, and why the people best suited to lead adoption are often the ones every org wrote off as a support function. Along the way he d...
Everyone wants to know if AI is working. The problem is when they ask, and what they reach for to answer it. Most leaders grab a stopwatch three weeks in and wonder why the numbers are disappointing. They are not measuring the wrong tool. They are measuring the right tool at the wrong time.
Prompting is the new literacy and most people are doing it the way they used to Google things: throwing keywords at the screen and hoping. This episode teaches the fundamentals of prompting in plain language, with real before-and-after examples your listeners can try immediately
AI adoption can go sideways before anyone realizes it. In this episode of Pattern Recognized, we break down the five predictable mistakes organizations make in the first week of AI rollout: tool excitement without a plan, one-hour training that never becomes practice, accidental AI departments of one, missing policies, and measuring the wrong things too early.

Today on Pattern Recognized, we are talking about AI skill and readiness. Specifically, where you and your organization actually stand in its ability to use AI effectively, and why almost every organization that fails at this misreads its position the same way.
Shadow AI is real and it is happening in many organizations right now.

Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
