Episode 01: Whose Job Is It to Make AI Stick?

AI adoption isn't an IT problem. It's a leadership challenge. In this episode of Off the Deck, Jayme McQueen sits down with Hylaine's Organizational Change Management Practice Leader, Alex Graw, to explore one of the biggest questions organizations face today: Who really owns AI after it's been deployed? From governance and adoption to employee trust and accountability, they unpack why implementing AI is only the beginning. The conversation challenges the misconception that technology alone drives transformation. Instead, it examines the role of change management, cross-functional ownership, and organizational readiness in turning AI investments into measurable business value. If your organization is navigating AI adoption, this episode offers practical insights on building confidence, driving adoption, and preparing your people for lasting change.
