It has an AI coordination crisis. \nAI tools are already proliferating across departments\, often without IT or institutional leadership's knowledge\, legal review\, or procurement involvement. The question now is whether your institution will lead the ongoing transformation or be led by it. \nIn this high-impact session\, Robert Clougherty\, AI Lead at Edge\, delivers a clear-eyed argument for higher education leaders: there is no middle ground. Institutions that attempt to straddle legacy operations and AI-ready models aren't being cautious. Instead\, they're running an unfunded\, unorganized adoption mandate that exhausts staff\, fragments governance\, and signals to students\, faculty candidates\, and accreditors that your institution is an observer rather than a participant in the next era of learning. Drawing on real-world patterns from institutions across the sector\, this session reframes AI not as a technology decision\, but as a leadership decision that touches governance structures\, institutional culture\, and the untapped goldmine of data your campus is already sitting on. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nWhy coordination is the real barrier to effective AI adoption\, and how to diagnose where your institution stands\nThe Technology x Governance x Culture framework\, and why moving only one lever is guaranteed to stall progress\nHow to identify the untapped data your campus is already sitting on and put it to work\nWhat real governance looks like\, including decision-rights mapping and approval flows that prevent the "pilot graveyard" trap\nSix concrete moves presidents and provosts can make immediately\, no technical background required\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n Presented by:\nRobert J.
