Creating an AI Culture in the Enterprise
summary
Claim: a three‑pillar blueprint (cross‑functional communities, hands‑on education, alignment to production) scales. Evidence: an internal program grows from 10,000 to 22,000 members, runs 67 community calls a year, and runs hackathons where ~1,000 teams enter and 365 built projects (avg team size six, ~6,000 participants) judged by 200 volunteers. Tools and ops: heavy use of SharePoint Viva Engage Teams, Azure OpenAI, Azure ML, Synapse, automation to run no‑budget programs; large calls sometimes break Teams but projects produce deployable results.
