sAI Is Not a Toy. Stop Treating It Like One.

Too many CIOs are still running AI like a side project… then wondering why it never gets funded.

Will told me a story about a team who did what most of us in tech love to do:

A few smart people stayed late, played with a new AI tool, built a slick demo and then hit a wall.

The business saw a “nice toy”.

No clear link to strategy.

No link to this year’s goals.

No seat at the real decision-making table.

With AI, that approach is deadly.

It’s too broad, too impactful, and too visible to be run as skunkworks.

That’s why, in our upcoming session, Will Lukang (Kairos Elite Partnetrship) will walk through the IAIM Framework —

Intent → Assessment → Identify → Make it Happen —

and I’ll be challenging CIOs to step up as visionaries, not just solution builders.

No more toys.

No more “ta-da” demos nobody asked for.

Just a clear, business-aligned AI strategy the organisation can believe in. Not a Toy. Stop Treating It Like One.
