After 20 years inside some of the world's most iconic companies, the moment I stepped out, what both sides were missing became unmistakably clear. As an executive, pitches never stop. Everyone believes they've cracked your problem - they just need a moment of your time to prove it. Each conversation starts with the same confidence: that they've discovered a capability you were oblivious to, one that will unlock what your own organization somehow failed to see.

I can imagine where you might be coming from with this question. Like so many of us, you may have seen strategy processes consumed by envisioning what could be, heavy on big-picture vision but light on what it might take to get there. The resulting strategies can struggle to offer practical guidance. On the flip side, I have also seen strategy processes cling too tightly to what we're comfortable committing to, inadvertently reinforcing organizational inertia.

AI in strategic initiative execution stands for embedding AI algorithms, AI models, AI systems, and AI technologies deep into the strategy development process, so that every stage-from defining strategic goals and business objectives to choosing initiatives and mobilizing human resources-is guided by AI generated insights. Isn't that just "project management with AI"? Not really. AI-driven strategic initiative execution marks a fundamental shift in how companies approach strategic delivery.
