Podcast: How CIOs Course-Correct Their AI Initiatives
InformationWeek, Tuesday, August 25th, 2026
ServiceNow's chief analytics officer and Axis Communications' CIO discuss when and how to redirect struggling AI projects.
In this InformationWeek podcast, Vijay Kotu (chief analytics officer, ServiceNow) and Jonas Hansson (CIO, Axis Communications) discuss how technology leaders assess and redirect AI initiatives that veer off track.
They address when full project abandonment is warranted versus strategic modification, whether AI projects need different milestones than traditional initiatives, and the risk of intervening too early versus too late.
The conversation includes a tabletop exercise where the guests role-play as interim executives navigating team challenges, acknowledging that early-stage enterprise AI remains largely exploratory.
