How can organizations use AI to close the gap between business strategy and the work people actually do every day? In this episode of the AI Accelerator Podcast, Matt Zembruski speaks with Cliff Berg, managing partner of Agile 2 Academy, founder of the Agile 2 initiative, and architect of the Throughline AI strategic execution platform. With 30 years of experience studying how organizations operate, Cliff shares why traditional planning and task management can get in the way of agility, and how AI can help leaders connect strategy, goals, and execution. The conversation explores how AI agents become more effective when they understand an organization's intentions, why leaders should give teams problems to solve rather than simply assigning tasks, and how businesses can introduce AI while keeping humans involved in important decisions.

"What we need is a tool that actually creates this line of sight from strategy through planning and execution." "The behavioral norm there is to give people problems to solve, not tasks to do." "What we want is good output. We want aligned output." "The AI cannot say that's done."
