Funny how the people pushing the most disruptive AI initiatives never seem to apply them to themselves. If we're serious about efficiency, the first AI agent we should build is one that replaces the Corporate GTF function. It would likely have a lower operating cost, generate fewer slide decks, require fewer alignment meetings, and produce a higher ROI than the "AI transformation" efforts it's replacing.
As an added benefit, it would stop forcing BU’s to absorb initiatives they never asked for in the first place. The BU’s already know their customers, markets, and operational realities, they don't need another round of centrally mandated AI programs designed far from the front lines. If the goal is truly to create shareholder value, replacing the function imposing these initiatives may be the most impactful AI deployment available.
