Artificial intelligence is moving quickly. Inside most organizations, the conversation has already moved beyond access. The challenge now is how to use these tools well—consistently, thoughtfully, and at scale.
In this episode of The Coursera Podcast, Arunav Sinha and Marni Baker Stein sit down with Rasesh Shah, Chief Practice Officer at Fractal Analytics, to talk about what it actually takes to build that kind of capability.
Rasesh shares how Fractal approaches learning through real business problems, why multidisciplinary teams often struggle to connect the dots, and how their 3C framework (Context, Connections, and Creativity) helps teams move from analysis to action.
The conversation also gets into what leaders are wrestling with right now: how to move beyond pilots, how to measure impact, and how to turn AI momentum into something that actually improves performance.
