AI headlines promise the moon, yet founders and other business leaders often discover that shiny demos don’t translate into customer love or bottom-line results.
In this TIGER Talk, Danny Ortiz & Nilanjan Raychaudhuri will cut through the noise and show you how to anchor every AI decision in a single question: “Whose problem are we really solving?” You’ll see why people-first thinking beats model-first hype—and how missteps at businesses like IBM Watson and Zillow became cautionary tales.
Danny & Nilanjan will also hand you a practical playbook you can apply on Monday: fast mental models for spotting high-impact use cases, workflow-integrated architecture patterns, checklists for trust and governance, and mini-case studies where small teams turned user insight into measurable wins.
Whether you own the P&L, drive product strategy, or run day-to-day operations, you’ll leave ready to evaluate AI ideas, rally cross-functional buy-in, and launch solutions that employees trust, customers adopt, and investors applaud.
