Every modern enterprise is rushing to capture AI ROI, yet the vast majority of deployments stall out due to a silent internal crisis: accelerating Shadow AI, fragmented data governance, and intense security anxieties. SREs and platform architects are routinely caught in the crossfire—tasked with scaling intelligent systems while defending highly complex, distributed data boundaries. The root cause isn't the technology; it’s a structural vacuum. Most organizations are completely missing a centralized AI Center of Excellence (CoE) to steer the ship. This talk delivers a highly practical executive framework built directly on top of Google Cloud Professional Services Organization (PSO) battle-proven practices. Moving far beyond the AI hype, the session will unpack how to balance Technology, People, and Processes to transition your enterprise from fragmented, high-risk operational pockets into a secure, transformational powerhouse.
