Episode 14 - Melissa M. Reeve (part-1)

If your enterprise is failing at AI, it isn’t because you picked the wrong tools. You're failing because you're trying to layer AI on top of legacy systems without changing anything underneath.

In this episode of The Intelligent Enterprise, host Tom Stoneman sits down with Melissa M. Reeve, author of Hyperadaptive: Rewiring to Become an AI-Native Organization, to dig into why so many AI investments still fall flat and what it actually takes to fix that. Melissa draws on decades of research into how enterprises evolve to make the case that the path forward isn't faster adoption, it's deliberate transformation.

Together, Tom and Melissa unpack why functional silos made sense in a post-war economy but become a liability in an AI-driven one, how friction and fidelity loss quietly kill good ideas on their way up the chain of command, and what separates an organization built to optimize from one built to adapt.

This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Part 2 drops in two weeks.
