AI Data Readiness Part 4: What Leaders Must Do Before Anyone Touches AI

📅 March 3, 2026 🎙️ Trisha Merriam , Chris Carolan

Too many executives are saying, "Go figure out how to use AI to do your job better." That is not leadership. That is delegation without direction.

On this LinkedIn Live, we're getting practical about what leaders should actually be doing right now to move their organization toward AI readiness.

What organizations need right now are AI orchestrators. People who understand architecture, documentation, data hygiene, and how humans and AI work together inside systems like HubSpot.

What are leaders doing right now to build the AI orchestrator muscle inside their orgs? What does leadership look like in an AI-ready company?

We'll cover: • What an "AI orchestrator" actually does inside a modern CRM • The leadership behaviors that accelerate AI adoption • The structures that make AI successful instead of chaotic • How to empower your team without overwhelming them • Practical steps you can implement immediately

If you are leading a sales, marketing, or RevOps team, this conversation is for you.

Key Takeaways

1 Just In Time leaders invest in documentation and architecture before the AI moment — not after
2 Every organization needs an AI orchestrator: someone who owns documentation standards and data architecture
3 You almost never start from scratch — existing emails, transcripts, and SOPs are already your AI foundation
4 The leadership question isn't "which AI tool should we buy?" — it's "show me our documentation"
5 The 700-to-2 support transformation was a 2-month documentation investment, not an AI deployment
