Transformed With Data Episode 10:How to Drive 600% Data Engagement: AI Strategy Lessons from the White House The episode of Transformed with Data podcast, Graeme Crawford talks with Dia Adams, best-selling author of "Winning With AI: A Blueprint for Corporate Leaders" and former enterprise data strategist for the White House. Dia shares how she increased engagement in the SEC's data catalog by 600% through strategic storytelling and reveals why most AI initiatives fail before they start - not because the technology isn't ready, but because organizations aren't. Drawing from her unique experience steering data transformations at Bank of America, Johnson & Johnson, and within federal government, she explains how to secure real buy-in for AI projects, navigate the psychological pressures of high-stakes data decisions, and why successful data leadership is 50% technical and 50% psychological.
