The AI Briefing by Startup Grind - The C-Suite Gap in AI Readiness
Fri, Jul 10, 2:00 PM**👉 [CLICK HERE](https://www.startupgrind.com/events/details/startup-grind-new-york-city-presents-the-ai-briefing-by-startup-grind-the-leadership-gap-in-ai-readiness/) TO RSVP FOR FREE 👈** The AI Briefing is a recurring **AI deep-dive for decision-makers.** Each month, we select one high-signal industry report, circulate it in advance, and meet to cut through the noise. 📜 **This Month's Source:** [Grant Thornton 2026 AI Impact Survey: The AI Proof Gap](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mKYw5Nu_dPQ6VLFiyxEqEulz1Ar7RLag/view?usp=sharing) (*Grant Thornton – Apr 2026*) Your CIO thinks the workforce is ready for AI. Your COO disagrees, **by a factor of five**. That misalignment isn't a rounding error. Grant Thornton **surveyed 950 business leaders across 10 industries** and found this divergence at the center of a larger pattern: most organizations are scaling AI they can't explain, measure, or defend. Boards approved the investments. **Governance never followed.** Now 78% of those executives say they couldn't pass an independent AI governance audit within 90 days. **👉 [CLICK HERE](https://www.startupgrind.com/events/details/startup-grind-new-york-city-presents-the-ai-briefing-by-startup-grind-the-leadership-gap-in-ai-readiness/) TO RSVP FOR FREE 👈** The gap between organizations that have **built accountability structures** around their AI and those that haven't is now measurable. **Revenue growth reaches 58%** among fully integrated organizations. Among those still piloting, **top-line growth is only 15%**. Grant Thornton's data points to the same driver across every metric: **AI produces revenue results** when leadership drives the infrastructure and owns what it produces. **🏔️ The Mission:** Understanding why AI accountability is a performance problem * This session uses Grant Thornton's data to examine **what it actually means to own an AI investment**: who makes decisions, who measures outcomes, and **what it costs when leadership can't agree** on whether the organization is ready. * We'll focus on **the C-suite misalignment finding**: CIOs and COOs within the same organization hold fundamentally different views on AI readiness, and the data shows **that gap is producing real organizational failure**. **📊 The Format:** * **Data Briefing:** A fast walkthrough of Grant Thornton's findings: the C-suite divide on workforce readiness, the 78% audit confidence figure, and where the 4x performance gap comes from. * **The Accountability Question:** A working discussion on what "governing" an AI investment actually means: who owns outcomes, how results get measured, and what the agentic AI incident response gap means for organizations already scaling autonomous systems. * **Cross-Pollinated Debate:** Executives share where AI investments have gone unaccounted for inside their own organizations; builders and operators weigh in on what governance infrastructure looks like from the inside and where accountability most commonly breaks down\*\*.\*\* **🤝 Who Should Attend:** * **Enterprise Executives:** The 4x revenue gap between organizations with integrated AI and those still piloting is a leadership and accountability problem. This session examines what the organizations closing that gap are doing differently, and what it takes to get there. * **Product, Data, and Operations Leads:** The C-suite misalignment on AI readiness lands squarely in ops and product. This session gives you data and specific language to surface the accountability gap with senior leadership. * **Founders & Builders:** See where the proof gap is creating product opportunities: enterprises need tools to measure, explain, and defend AI they already own and are already running. **📬 The Prep:** This is a working session.

Being different isn't a soft skill. It's the next frontier.
Wed, Jul 15, 10:00 PMNYC SUG is thrilled to host Joanne (Jo) Perold again in person in NYC. A former keynote speaker at one of our Big Apple Scrum Day conferences, Jo is now running annual **[Satir Leadership Development Workshops](https://www.virginiasatircenter.com/trainings-workshops/satir-leadership-development-workshop).** Join us for this very special session and enjoy the opportunity to learn about Virginia Satir work from one and only Jo Perold! **Session Description:** We got very good at changing how we work. We built frameworks, refined processes, ran retrospectives, and shipped faster. And something still isn't working. Because methods can only take you so far. At some point, the constraint isn't the process. It's the person running it. In conversations with leaders across four countries, the same patterns emerged regardless of methodology, team size, or industry. Urgency replacing discernment. People going through the motions without authorship. Teams delivering but not believing their voice changes anything. Leaders protecting their people from above while quietly wondering if any of it is worth it. These aren't process problems. They're human ones. Virginia Satir spent her life asking what it means to be more fully human — and her answers turn out to be exactly what agile practitioners need next. Not better tools. Not more frameworks. The inner capacity to lead well in complexity, uncertainty, and change. This session explores what that capacity looks like, why it matters more than ever now, and what becomes possible when we do our own inner work first. **The next frontier isn't a better process. It's a different person.** \-\-\-\-\-\-\- You too can become a speaker at our meetups! If you have an idea you would like to share, come see us at the Meetup, or tell us about it here: \*\*[https://www.papercall.io/nyc-sug**](https://www.papercall.io/nyc-sug**) \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Meetings are now the **3rd WEDNESDAY** of the month **In person** meetings: **6-6:30 Networking, 6:30 session start** =======Would you company be interested in hosting us?======= The NYC Scrum User Group meets monthly to talk about Agile and Scrum, to share experiences, to network, and to provide support for local Scrum practitioners. We are on the look-out for in-person venues, either as a one-off or ongoing. DM us to let us know if you're interested!
