AI transformation is no longer a question of whether — it's a question of how. In this episode, Seth Earley speaks with Brian Stafford, CEO of Diligent, about why most organizations struggle to move from AI ambition to real operational impact.

They discuss why the word "pilot" sets teams up to fail, how agents are reshaping governance, risk, and compliance functions, and why context and process understanding are the true foundations of sustainable AI adoption. Brian also shares how leadership — more than sector or company size — determines who wins in the AI era.
