Eye On A.I. · Real AI Transformation Costs HALF of Everyone's Salary for 2 Years | Chris Blackburn, Liatrio · 30 Jul 2026 podcast

But I think if executive leaders start walking the factory floor, talking to the operators, the individual contributors, the builders of software, the builders of the system overall, they'll really start understanding how far away they are from the utopia state or whatever they're trying to go after.

So we encourage a ton of that.

We encourage leaders to get involved in it.

There was a book out from McKinsey called Rewired or something like that.

It's a few years old, actually.

And it says in there that they believe that the CEO should have something between two and four days a month of focus on the transformation.

That's a significant commitment.

And I don't think many places are doing that at all.

And if it means that the CEO should have that much, then down a layer should be even more in all of that.

And I just don't think there's enough of a commitment towards the transformation.

I don't think there's enough of an understanding of what it truly means to change.

I don't think there's enough of spending time on the shop floor and looking at value stream mapping and other things like that to see where bottlenecks are in the system.

So that's what we do is we come in and we talk through that and we talk about why that's important and all of that.

And then we start encouraging organizations to start looking at what they're doing, how it's working, where bottlenecks and handoffs and struggles are at in the organization, and then find a small area of motivated people that are excited about it that can go after this and make a change and use it as a

kind of use case, a starting example of what this can look like across the organization.

And that's what we usually do.

That's what we do as Liatrios.

We either guide them on their mission to start or we do it with them.

And I think the doing it with them is something that's very unique for us is, you know, you said this a minute ago about BCG as an example.

And I look up to them in a lot of ways for certain.
