Description

Many leaders still approach AI with the wrong mindset, treating it as a tool rather than a strategic capability. In this episode of Intelligence Optimised, Todd Crowley speaks with Llew Jury and Curtis West about how to shift from pilots and misconceptions to measurable, sector-wide impact.

They draw on practical work across defence, health, and infrastructure in Southeast Queensland and insights from Indo-Pacific procurement forums.

This episode covers:
✔️ Common AI misconceptions slowing progress
✔️ How to measure ROI using the Eliminate, Support, Extend model
✔️ Case studies in compliance, customer service, internal tools, and synthetic data
✔️ Structural and cultural blockers including IT resistance and unclear ownership
✔️ The growing need for AI governance and data readiness across sectors

For CIOs, planners, and capability leads, this is a practical guide to embedding AI in systems that matter.
