Suggested interview questions

Suggested interview questions for podcast hosts, webinar producers, and media contacts.

What do most executives misunderstand about AI adoption?
Most executives treat AI adoption as a tool deployment problem. The real challenge is an operating model problem. When AI changes who decides and who owns outcomes, the organization needs to redesign accountability, not just the tech stack.
Why do you say AI governance is an operating model problem?
Governance policies without decision rights are theoretical. Real governance requires named ownership, clear escalation paths, and human authority embedded in how work actually flows, not just written in a document.
What is the Efficiency Trap?
The Efficiency Trap happens when automation improves the metrics leaders track while degrading the experience customers actually have. The dashboard looks better. Trust, escalation quality, and customer confidence quietly decline.
How should leaders decide where AI can act autonomously?
The Decision Boundary model in AMPLIFIED gives leaders a practical way to classify decisions: where AI acts autonomously, where AI recommends and humans decide, and where humans own the outcome entirely. The key is making that classification explicit before deployment, not after something goes wrong.
What does human-in-the-loop get wrong in many organizations?
Human-in-the-loop is often implemented as a checkbox, not a genuine authority point. If the human is expected to approve a decision in three seconds with no real ability to override, that is not human-in-the-loop. That is cognitive burden assigned to a person with no real power.
How does AI change customer experience?
AI changes who makes decisions that shape the customer experience. When those decision points are not governed well, the experience degrades in ways that are hard to diagnose. Customers experience the output of operating model decisions, not just product decisions.
What are Key Human Indicators?
Key Human Indicators are the operating measures that track trust, agency, judgment quality, and escalation health. The things that predict customer and team outcomes before they show up in traditional performance metrics. Cost and efficiency are necessary but not sufficient.
Why did you write AMPLIFIED?
After 25 years operating large organizations through major technology shifts, I saw the same pattern emerging with AI: the technology moves faster than the operating model, accountability diffuses, and trust erodes before anyone can name what happened. AMPLIFIED is the playbook I wished existed when I was running those organizations.
What should leaders do in the next 90 days if AI is already inside their workflows?
Start by naming who owns each AI-touched decision. Not who approves the tool. Who owns the outcome when the tool is wrong. From there, you can start building the governance model, the escalation design, and the measurement framework. Ownership first. Everything else follows.
