In the middle of massive transformation, one question keeps surfacing in every boardroom:

Are we behind on AI?

Kelly Fisher, Chief Practice Partner at Wipfli, hears it from leaders every day.

Her answer reframes the conversation:

“AI isn’t replacing your expertise — it’s amplifying it.”

She calls it "Amplified Expertise" — the idea that AI, when used intentionally, helps leaders and their teams make smarter decisions, deliver deeper insights, and free up time for what truly matters.

For CIOs and technology leaders, that means:

-Modeling adoption instead of delegating it.

-Building readiness — data, infrastructure, and culture — so your teams can move from experimentation to enterprise-level execution.

-Guiding with empathy as people adapt to new tools and new expectations.

Kelly also reminded us that innovation starts with people, not platforms

“Bring the joy back to the work that got you in the game in the first place.”

A simple but powerful call to every leader navigating AI and digital transformation today.
