You have people who

have embraced the technology, understand how it works, have incorporated it into their workflows.

And then you have the people that haven't.

And that's not by their own fault.

It's really a mix of their enablement, the it's new technology you have to work with in different ways.

And my job is really around how do we capture that in a way that can expand and scale broadly.

Yeah, I think it's you said it best.

It can't be just tops down, it can't be just bottoms up.

I'm a believer of the saying all politics is local.

I think the best way to drive meaningful transformation is more localized to the personas and roles that ultimately need transformation.

And that's where this hub and spoke model, and really in some ways it's a hub spoke hub, and I'll talk about what that means in a minute.

Okay, cool.

That ultimately is around having

Having a centralized team that can drive governance, that can drive the technology choices, help with enablement, really more detailed technical builds.

But having an embedded person within each of the departments, we call them an AI transformation owner.

And in some of our larger ones, there's going to be more than one, that really understand the workflows, the processes, the people at a much more detailed level that can help be that bridge between.

kind of functional and technical.

Their role is also to then create a center of excellence within their division around champions and people that can ultimately help with those bottoms up ideas.

But then that AI transformation donor is really there to help determine what has the best scale, what can really have the biggest impact organizationally, where we want to invest deeper build resources to make something that's scalable.

Yeah, I think one of the things that we're really focused on as we think about the transformation, clearly there's this big technology portion to it.
