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

Now you've got to be cautious.

You don't want to just grab people and bring them over and don't have them understand the new ways of acting and operating.

And this is where I think enablement and uplift is really important.

And another challenge I think is going on right now is

how much investment do you really have to put in the people for them to be part of this new way of operating?

One of the most frustrating things we do is when we go into organizations and we talk about AI uplift or AI enablement, and we have different service offerings that range from a couple of weeks all the way up to a couple of months in time.

And the most frustrating thing I hear is, oh, no, we were hoping for something for a couple of hours.

And

it's just like the feeling of, oh my gosh, do you not understand how much is in front of you?

And okay, maybe all you have is budget for a couple of hours to start with, and that's better than nothing type of thing, but really need them to start thinking so much bigger of what the, what is needed for these organizations to transform.

So going back to the strangle the organization, that's something that's really important to us as well, is when we bring people over to the new

org that's going to act and operate in a modern way, they go through an uplift.

They go through some of our service offerings that are deep and detailed for weeks or months to have them learn about the new ways of acting and operating in a modern AI first, small organization, small team, you know, quick iteration, fast feedback style way of acting and operating.

I think we're still figuring it out, but I'll share some kind of information that's right in front of us.

But I want to maybe preface all of this with, I believe that the potential of AI is so great that spending lots of time, lots of energy, and lots of resources should almost be looked at as a strategic advantage to learning on the journey that's going to come our way.

We have this new technology and you look at it and you say, I understand this could be significant, but we don't exactly know how to get there today, right now.

And spending just time and almost just R&D for no real ROI to start with, I think is an okay activity right now.

I know that's hard to justify.

I'm sure every CFO on the planet will hate me saying that type of thing, but I think it's a real thing for certain.

Um, here's what we are seeing and we practice what we preach as well.
