This webinar features Sachin Kamdar from elvex and Madeline Garcia and Miles Collins from Embark consulting discussing best practices for establishing and running AI steering committees. The session covers key elements including securing executive buy-in, identifying AI champions across the organization, and managing change resistance.

Miles and Madeline share insights from their experience implementing AI at Embark and consulting with clients, emphasizing that AI transformation is more about operations and business processes than IT. They discuss practical aspects like committee composition (under 10 people with cross-functional representation), budgeting strategies, access provisioning, and communication methods.
