Start with the business owners - that's where AI will be having an impact. Include the tech teams. Exec sponsor from C-suite. Skilling lead. Culture lead. Change management lead. Finance/ROI lead.

CTO org, CDO/CIO org, relevant product team (assuming AI initiative is aimed at boosting revenue or service quality), and one mid-level foward-thinking, influnecial member of legal/compliance. Unless you are the product or business unit head to which most of the value and burden of the new AI initiative applies, get COO or Chief of Staff sponsorship to facilitate engaging and navigating internal stakeholders.

Functional expertise from the impacted business area(s) should be included as well as Legal. Business line buy in is key as well as Legal spotting and resolving potential issues at the pilot stage.

I agree with the other share— it’s more of cross domain expertise ideally somewhere between 6 to 10 folks in context of the problem set.

I am curious if your organization has used code generators in any real way. Not low-code tools, but actual generators like RAD-style scaffolding or Domain Specific Languages. I feel that building simple apps is still as complicated as it was twenty years ago, maybe even more. With everything we have today, why does it still feel this heavy? I would love to hear past experiences, suggestions, or ideas from people who have tried to make this easier in their teams.
