In this episode of AI Success Factors, host Samuel Matthew sits down with Wes Herzik, Executive Director of Enterprise AI Transformation & Operations at JPMorganChase, to explore why many AI initiatives fail to deliver measurable business impact. Wes explains how organizations often get stuck optimizing isolated tasks instead of redesigning end-to-end workflows. The conversation dives into governance, federated operating models, and why change management must start early—especially as enterprises adopt agent-based AI systems. This episode is essential listening for CXOs looking to turn AI pilots into scalable, enterprise value.

Key Takeaways:

• Task-level automation rarely delivers ROI without workflow redesign
• Scaling AI is an operating-model and leadership challenge, not just a tech problem
• Federated teams need shared capabilities, data, and governance guardrails
• Early change management accelerates adoption and reduces risk
