May 29, 2026

AI adoption is already happening inside many organizations, often led by employees who are experimenting with tools to solve everyday problems. In this episode of FLEX Live, Whitney Munro talks with Kathryn Greenizen of FLEX Partners and Patti Rausch, VP of Research & Innovation at NAW, about how leaders can turn that employee-led experimentation into structured, low-risk progress.

The conversation explores why organizations do not need a perfect AI strategy to begin. Instead, they can start with small pilots, clearly defined use cases, stage gates, and a culture that rewards learning. Kathryn and Patti share practical guidance for identifying where to start, limiting risk, documenting lessons, and building confidence as teams learn what works.

This episode is for leaders who know AI matters but are still figuring out how to move from interest to implementation in a thoughtful, practical way.
