Your board approved millions for AI. Training completion hit 95%. Pilots succeeded. So why does nothing actually change?

87% of AI investments never scale—not because of bad technology, but because of what I call the Progress Illusion. You're DOING AI activities without PRODUCING AI outcomes.

In this Forbes Friday episode, I give you 4 diagnostic questions to reveal if your AI strategy is real or just expensive theater:

1️⃣ Decision Velocity - How long from AI insight to action? 

2️⃣ The Override Pattern - How often do you second-guess AI recommendations? 3️⃣ Trust Gradients - Which teams believe vs. resist AI? 

4️⃣ Conviction Infrastructure - What systems build organizational belief?

This episode features a dynamic NotebookLM-generated conversation bringing my latest Forbes article to life—perfect for busy executives who need actionable frameworks fast.

If your organization has impressive AI pilots but slow rollouts, high training completion but low usage, or AI recommendations that get systematically overridden—you're experiencing the Progress Illusion.
