[BONUS] Is your company ready for AI? Joseph Aoun x Margot Bletterie

Is your company truly ready for AI? In this bonus episode of The AI Social Club, Margot Bletterie sits down with Joe Aout to explore what “AI readiness” really means and why so many businesses are jumping on the AI bandwagon without a strategy.

They break down a practical framework to assess if your company is genuinely prepared to integrate artificial intelligence, not just technologically, but culturally and operationally.

If you’re considering launching AI initiatives or scaling existing ones, this episode is packed with clarity and great advice.

We discuss:

🔹 How to assess AI readiness across 4 pillars: strategy, data, technology, and governance

🔹 Why “AI for the sake of AI” fails and how to avoid it

🔹 Common pitfalls when moving from AI pilots to scalable solutions

🔹 Real examples of bad vs. effective AI implementation

🔹 Why strong use cases and executive alignment matter more than flashy tools

🔹 The right sequence from proof of concept to proof of value to scale

Whether you’re an AI lead, data strategist, or business decision-maker, this is your playbook to make AI actually work in your company.
