In this episode of The Standup, we're joined by Andreas Welsch - an executive, former VP, and now Chief AI Strategist at The Intelligence Briefing - who's spent his career helping organizations bridge the gap between technology hype and business reality.



Andreas has led high-performing teams through change, uncertainty, and the rise of disruptive tech. He gets real about what it takes to foster an AI-ready culture, why clear communication is a non-negotiable, and how leaders can set smarter standards as AI enters the daily workflow.

Plus, he shares a candid failure story that every leader navigating AI projects will want to hear - and a simple question to ask before greenlighting your next big initiative.

What you'll learn:

Why clear communication matters more than AI fluency when leading teams
How to decide when to kill a project (and how to do it without losing trust)
What it really takes to build an AI-ready culture from the inside out
