This is our extra coffee flavor Friday edition the Forbes article like - Shadow AI isn't just a psychological safety problem—it's a $10 million tax on your transformation. 

When employees hide AI experiments, your organization pays in ways you're not measuring. 

In this episode, I break down the five hidden costs: 

- $2M in lost learning 

- $1.5M in duplicate efforts 

- $3M in security exposure 

- $2M in talent drain 

- $1.5M in competitive lag 

For enterprises investing $20M in AI, Shadow AI could cost you half that investment.
