It's 10pm.Do you know what your AI is doing?
Personas
Ragnar
SVP
"Five business units, five CTOs, five AI briefings that do not add up. Each one is confident about their own unit and silent about the others. The board asks me one question: where does AI touch our data, across the whole business? I need that on one page, from facts, not from five decks."
Who
SVP. Several business units, each with its own CTO, report to him. A board that asks questions. Needs one portfolio view, not five briefings.
Elevator statement
As Ragnar, I want one portfolio view of what AI runs in every unit, what data it touches and who owns it, so that I can answer the board, the insurer or an auditor on one page, because the person at the top is responsible for everything below and "we did not know" is not a defense.
Solutions
AI Portfolio ViewToday
Five business units, five CTOs, shared corporate systems with AI features that arrived in updates, unit-level pilots on unit budgets. Each CTO reports progress in their own format. Policy exists, nobody can say if it is followed, and no two units count the same thing.
What is known
Head office has no clue what AI is for beyond the strategy slide. What he knows: the company is on the hook for every record AI touches, and he is accountable for the portfolio.
