About this episode

As AI continues to dominate industry conversations, the notion of AI readiness becomes a focal point for organizations. It's a multifaceted challenge that goes beyond technology, encompassing business processes and cultural shifts. For professionals, this means grappling with questions like: How do you choose the right AI projects that align with business goals? What skills and team structures are necessary to support AI initiatives? And how do you manage the change that comes with integrating AI into your operations?

Venky Veeraraghavan is the Chief Product Officer at DataRobot. As CPO, Venky drives the definition and delivery of the DataRobot Enterprise AI Suite. Venky has twenty-five years of experience focusing on big data and AI as a product leader and technical consultant at top technology companies (Microsoft) and early-stage startups (Trilogy).

In the episode, Richie and Venky Veeraraghavan explore AI readiness in organizations, the importance of aligning AI with business processes, the roles and skills needed for AI integration, the balance between building and buying AI solutions, the challenges of implementing AI-driven changes, and much more.
