Most organizations are not short on data or technology. They are short on alignment.

In this episode, Vincent Brown, Regional Head of IT for the Americas at Fugro, joins Michael Sutter, CEO of Enlivened Tech, to unpack why transformation efforts fail when foundational steps are skipped.

Brown introduces the “Swiss cheese model” of misalignment and explains how gaps in awareness, ownership, and accountability derail outcomes.

You’ll learn:

  • Why awareness must come before execution
  • How to define and operationalize data ownership
  • Why IT enables data, but doesn’t own it
  • What strong data foundations mean for AI success
  • The leadership mindset required to navigate constant change

A practical conversation for data and AI leaders trying to turn ambition into execution.
