Jeff Meredith, CEO of Chamberlain Group: The most important thing I’d tell any leader about AI right now is this: don’t let the technology lead the strategy. At CG, our approach has always been to design the experience first, then use technology to create that experience, not start with what we can do with a certain technology and work backwards from there. That distinction matters greatly when it comes to AI. A lot of companies are pushing to implement AI for the sake of AI. We’re really trying to be thoughtful about deployment. For us, that means asking: what specific experience do we want a customer or employee to have, and how can AI enable it? That question leads to very different outcomes than asking “where can we apply AI?” Here’s a concrete example. We have a camera integrated into our garage keypad. As a dad, I can see my daughter safely come home and have peace of mind. That’s the experience. AI is what makes it possible: through anomaly detection, video verification, and real-time alerts. But we didn’t start with the AI capability. We started with the emotional need. The same thinking applies inside the organization. AI will amplify whatever your people and culture already are. If your teams have clarity of purpose and are close to the customer, AI makes them faster and better. If they’re operating without a clear vision, AI will accelerate the noise. So before asking “how do we implement AI,” leaders should be asking “do our people understand what we’re trying to accomplish and why?” If the answer isn’t a clear yes, start there.
