What does an AI roadmap really look like? And how does a corporate AI roadmap differ from a personal one? In this episode of AI Knowhow from Knownwell, host Courtney Baker is joined by Knownwell's CEO David DeWolf, Chief Product & Technology Officer Mohan Rao, and NordLight CEO Pete Buer to break it all down.
First, the team explores how business leaders can chart a clear AI strategy—starting with vision, linking it to business goals, and balancing customer feedback with long-term objectives. David and Mohan share insights on making micro-pivots, avoiding roadmap confusion, and the key decision every company must make: Is AI a tool, or is it your operating system?
Special guest Dr. Joan Palmiter Bajorek, author of Your AI Roadmap, sits down with Pete to discuss how professionals can future-proof their careers with an AI strategy of their own. She shares why a strong personal brand, multiple income streams, and financial security are essential in the AI era and how workers can position themselves for long-term success.
And in AI in the Wild, Courtney and Pete dig into AI-designed shoes. A new shoe combines AI-driven custom fitting with personalized footwear, raising big questions about AI's role in design, manufacturing, and consumer trends. Is it just a gimmick or a glimpse of AI-powered retail to come?
