Value-First Platform: AI Data Readiness
Value-First Platform explores AI-powered data strategies and platform optimization—how organizations prepare their HubSpot infrastructure to leverage AI capabilities effectively.
Value-First Platform: AI Data Readiness explores how organizations prepare their data foundations for AI — not the confidence survey version, but the reality that shows up when AI agents start making decisions based on your data. Trisha Merriam brings data strategy and governance expertise, Erin Wiggers brings full-stack AI engineering and deployment experience, and Chris Carolan connects it all to the Value-First methodology. Weekly conversations about data quality debt, governance as traction, the orchestrator role, and what AI readiness actually requires.
