🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS
✅ Adoption must be intentional: Successful AI rollouts start with leadership buy-in, clear goals, and a phased strategy—not just flipping the switch.

✅ Data hygiene matters: Poor data leads to poor AI outcomes. Clean, curated content is essential to avoid hallucinations and misinformation.
✅ Business-first mindset wins: AI should align with real business goals—whether it’s saving time, increasing revenue, or enabling new capabilities.
