In Episode 9, Mark and John break down the three skills every leader needs to develop right now — starting with where John just spent the week: the HIMSS National Conference in Las Vegas, where 24,000 healthcare IT professionals gathered and AI governance, patient outcomes, and human-centered AI were the dominant themes.\nFrom the conference floor to your desk, this episode gives you the practical starting points: what to learn first, what to understand about AI capabilities, and how to move from basic use to real organizational impact.\n\nKey Takeaways:\nAI is already in your organization — with or without a strategy. According to a 2026 AMA poll, 81% of US physicians report using AI. A Gallup poll shows nearly 50% of public sector employees use it regularly. Your people are using these tools now. The question is whether leadership is guiding that or not.\nAI literacy is the foundation — but fluency is the goal. Understanding how to use a tool is the mechanics. Knowing how AI can support human judgment and act as a thought partner is where the real value lives.\nMost people dramatically underestimate what these models can do. The capabilities have advanced far beyond writing emails. Deep research, agentic workflows, multi-step automation — leaders who understand this have a real competitive edge.\nThe human in the loop is non-negotiable. From the HIMSS conference floor to your boardroom: the message resonating across industries is that AI amplifies human judgment — it does not replace it.\nThe Three Skills:\nSkill 1 — AI Literacy: Make It Priority Number One\nStart here. Understand what AI can do at a foundational level....","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/yDnd1ifPBLCtVzMUlCR4V9QSqMNthzQU4o9C4QfxbrA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80YmY1/NzM2ZGJiYzM2NDdj/ZGI1NTU4MzE4ODQy/YjM4MC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
