Gen AI Success Requires an AI Champions Network

To ensure generative AI competency and use becomes pervasive across the enterprise, CISOs and their colleagues must establish a network of AI champions geared toward team-level practice and business-aligned results.

Getting an enterprise-grade generative AI platform rolled out is a milestone, but it’s just the entry point. Sustained, distributed adoption doesn’t come from tool access. It comes from embedding AI capability inside how the organization works.

Centralized enablement teams cannot carry that on their own. To drive depth, consistency, and ongoing discovery across functions, a different structure is required; one that brings enablement closer to the work.

That structure is your AI champions network. Champions are not advanced users. They are not a support desk, nor are they an overlay governance function. They translate corporate strategy into team-level behavior, and they bring real usage, blockers, and insights from the field back to the command center.

Author's summary: AI champions network drives adoption.
