Boards want transformative returns from artificial intelligence, but most organizations are still running fragmented pilots with no clear path to scale. In this interview, Purvee Kondal, NACD.DC®, explains why the gap between AI ambition and execution reality is wider than many directors realize. The issue, she argues, is not a shortage of technology; it is a shortage of disciplined investment frameworks, phased road maps, and honest conversations about organizational readiness.

Kondal also challenges directors to look beyond lagging financial metrics and to treat culture as a leading indicator of transformation success. Discover how her founder-director perspective reframes the questions boards should be asking about AI, talent, and long-term value creation.
