Transform Work with Ryan Kurt, Founder and CEO of The AI Lab

In this episode of Transform Work, John Winsor is joined by Ryan Kurt, Founder and CEO of The AI Lab. For more than a decade, Ryan has been at the forefront of generative AI and large-language-model innovation—helping organizations move beyond experimentation and toward meaningful transformation. His work has guided executives through strategy development, capability building, evaluation, and full-scale deployment of AI across the enterprise.

Today, Ryan and his team at The AI Lab are focused entirely on helping leaders turn AI ambition into sustained business value. In this conversation, we explore what Ryan is seeing right now in workforce transformation, why many organizations are stuck in “pilot mode,” and the practical steps leaders can take to build real capability—not just prove concepts.

This discussion cuts through the hype to examine where the actual opportunities are, what’s changing inside organizations, and how executives can lead the shift to a more adaptive, AI-enabled workforce.
