Artificial intelligence isn’t just changing technology—it’s redefining how work gets done. In this episode, you’ll hear from Fabletics’ AI Program Director, Logan Karam, as she previews her upcoming SubSummit session and shares how her team is turning AI from a buzzword into real, measurable business impact.
In this episode, Doug and Logan Karam discuss:
- Surface-level vs. deep AI adoption in organizations
- Blending structured and unstructured data with AI in workflows
- Leadership, culture, and task forces for AI enablement
- Why tool access and training alone don’t drive adoption
- The power of AI champions and security-first AI rollout
Key Takeaways:
- Many companies stall at surface-level AI use because they don’t invest the time to deeply understand capabilities or rethink how work is actually structured.
- Real AI impact comes from redesigning workflows, identifying where time is lost, standardizing processes, and embedding AI directly into how tasks get done.
- Adoption is driven by culture and leadership: curious, hands-on teams combined with leadership that mandates rethinking work will move faster than any one “type” of department.
- Measuring AI success requires looking beyond basic usage metrics and focusing instead on cycle times, output volume, performance improvements, and behavior shifts.
- Individual power users and AI champions can dramatically shape how an organization adopts AI, but they must be supported by strong security practices and a cross-functional partnership with IT.
“My thinking has really shifted from adoption is not just an educational problem, but it's a design problem. You have to really change how the work actually happens, and there's a lot of work that goes into that.” - Logan Karam
