Your company's AI conversations sound something like this: 'We should be doing something with AI.' 'Yes, but what's the ROI?' Everyone nods, the meeting continues, and nothing changes.

It's 4:47 PM on a Friday. Your employee has 13 minutes before they want to leave for the weekend. And they're about to make a decision that could cost you six figures. Your 72-page AI governance policy is sitting on their desk—but they don't have time to read it. Here's why your policy is making the problem worse, not better.
