Sesame, salt, and substance. A flagship bake.
Summary
The article examines the tension between AI governance and AI ROI in enterprise settings. It argues that while governance (legal reviews, compliance checks, security protocols) is often seen as a bottleneck slowing AI deployment, properly structured governance actually accelerates AI value delivery by building trust and reducing risk. The piece provides a framework for organizations to implement "governed execution" — a balanced approach where governance enables rather than hinders AI initiatives, ultimately speeding up time-to-value and improving ROI.
