About this episode

Your competitors aren't just experimenting with AI anymore. They're using it to make faster strategic decisions, enter markets first, and reshape how they compete. In this episode of In Other Words, host Jason Hemingway talks to Raf Postepski, Senior Director at Alvarez & Marsal, about why most AI strategies stall at efficiency gains and never reach the bigger prize of better decisions, faster. Raf lays out his 'Build for Advantage, Buy for Parity' principle, makes the case that the model is the least valuable part of your AI stack, and explains where competitive advantage actually sits for organizations scaling AI. It’s not where most people think.
