Turn AI experiments into governed operating capability
Bailey Applied Intelligence helps organizations build trusted data, analytics, and AI capabilities that leaders can rely on for decisions, governance, and transformation.
Head of data, analytics, and AI across entertainment, technology, digital and subscription organizations.
Invited to speak on AI strategy, governance, security, regulations and enterprise transformation.
Durable AI is not plug-and-play
Most organizations can get AI into the building.
The real work is turning that activity into governed, data-grounded operating capabilities that the business can actually run with.
That shift usually fails when:
Teams deploy AI without clear ownership or decision rights.
Data, analytics, and AI sit in separate tracks with no shared operating model.
Governance focuses on slowing risk, and policy not enabling confident adoption.
Bailey Applied Intelligence helps leadership teams design and build the operating capabilities that connect data, analytics, and AI to how decisions, workflows, and accountability work.
Enterprises have a significant AI Readiness Gap
85%
CIOs say gaps in traceability / explainability have delayed / stopped AI projects before production
71%
Organizational data leaders say their data foundation is unreliable for AI

Lost per week per team member is the cost of adoption without integration

About
Amanda Bailey
I help organizations building trusted, AI‑enabled operating capabilities so organizations can move from experiments to governed, usable systems that leaders rely on for decisions, governance, and transformation.
My background spans data, analytics, AI, and business transformation in environments where governance, adoption, and execution matter as much as technical potential.
I have led work across telecom, technology, gaming, and entertainment with a focus on building trusted data foundations, clearer decision structures, and practical paths from pilot activity to scaled impact.
My approach is grounded in the realities leaders face: competing priorities, organizational friction, accountability gaps, and the need to show progress without increasing risk.
