Sam Wong, Senior Director of Data and AI at the Mark Anthony Group, explains how a business-first AI incubation program can turn experiments into production value. He outlines a five-part framework, the importance of executive and business sponsorship, partnering with a vendor ecosystem, and prioritizing use cases by value versus effort. Wong discusses why you shouldn’t wait for perfect data, how AI projects catalyze data governance and quality, and how a blended federated/centralized operating model scales delivery in a mid‑market company. He also tackles change management and job-loss fears, positioning GenAI as augmented intelligence.
