Episode Overview:
Artificial intelligence is transforming every industry, but without proper governance, boards risk investing in tech hype rather than strategic value.
Our next guest, JaeLynn Williams, is helping pioneer the opportunities in front of us as CEO of Decision Frame. With a remarkable career leading innovation across healthcare and aviation—from launching 3M's award-winning 360 Encompass AI platform to guiding Air Methods Corporation through a complex $1.3 billion turnaround—JaeLynn brings unparalleled insight to AI adoption.
Driven by the belief that intellectual curiosity and discomfort fuel breakthrough leadership, she's developed the Board AI Governance Index™, a groundbreaking framework helping boards, entrepreneurs, and executives balance innovation with accountability.
Join us to discover how Decision Frame's proprietary tools are enabling leaders to harness AI's transformative potential responsibly while protecting shareholder value in an era of unprecedented disruption. Let's go!
Episode Highlights:
- Intellectual curiosity drives innovation - Success comes from diving in, staying uncomfortable, and moving into uncharted territory with a learner's mindset
- AI is a leadership challenge, not just a technology issue - Unlike traditional IT governance, AI transforms how work gets done across entire organizations and requires comprehensive oversight
- 95% of AI pilots fail to deliver value - Without proper governance frameworks, organizations risk wasting capital on countless pilots that don't translate to ROI or meaningful outcomes
- Data governance is the foundation - Clean, well-governed data is essential for AI success; without it, organizations face compliance issues and failed implementations
- The Board AI Governance Index™ creates a common measurement language - The framework enables leaders to articulate their AI maturity level and strategic choices to investors without revealing proprietary information
