Given this, it\u2019s no surprise that all-in cloud adopters have something to teach the rest of the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This blog, the second in a two-part series, builds on our earlier <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1b2yz7K0RGrYj8RYe3FLaaZMuwMJx2AlfTEIER6oj4bo\/edit?tab=t.0\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">profile<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of organizations that run full AI projects on a single cloud platform. We call them Cloud AI Innovators, and they have a knack for driving business results with production AI. Cloud AI Innovators teach us three guiding principles: (1) foster cross-functional teamwork, (2) streamline architecture, and (3) strengthen governance. Let\u2019s explore each principle in turn.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Foster cross-functional teamwork<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI fails without human teamwork. This is a serious risk because AI adopters rightly <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/static1.squarespace.com\/static\/62adf3ca029a6808a6c5be30\/t\/695426455017f0360e83f9a4\/1767122501620\/2026+AI+%26+Data+Leadership+Executive+Benchmark+Survey+Final.pdf\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">view<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> team culture and change management as more challenging than technology. How do you mitigate such a risk? The Cloud AI Innovator starts by designating an executive to organize humans and agents across functions, creating what <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/capabilities\/people-and-organizational-performance\/our-insights\/the-agentic-organization-contours-of-the-next-paradigm-for-the-ai-era\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">McKinsey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> calls\u00a0 \u201cflat networks of empowered, outcome-aligned agentic teams.\u201d In such networks, humans and agents collaborate to execute multi-step workflows. For example:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One GenAI agent might serve as the front-line for the customer service team. It fields inquiries, classifies problems, solves simple problems, and routes the others to human experts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another GenAI agent helps the human experts within the IT or engineering teams as they remediate issues.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A natural-language model, meanwhile, gauges the sentiment of customer conversations and directs churn risks to the sales team.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, a machine learning model identifies patterns in product usage, issues, and complaints, helping product managers prioritize future development.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cloud AI Innovators further cultivate cross-functional teamwork like this by training workers on new skills and promoting best practices through centers of excellence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fran Bell exemplifies this approach at Ford, starting with her cross-functional role of chief data, AI, and analytics officer. She also chairs Ford\u2019s Enterprise Data Council, which oversees the company\u2019s investments in data, platforms, and technology\u2013reflecting an authority that normally spans multiple business functions. Bell <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/randybean\/2025\/11\/23\/how-ford-is-embracing-ai-to-drive-innovation-in-the-automotive-industry\/\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tells<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Forbes that \u201cwe are building powerful &#8216;human-machine teams&#8217; where AI assists in complex data analysis, runs simulations, and automates repetitive tasks, freeing our talented engineers, designers, and business leaders to focus on what they do best: strategic thinking, creative problem-solving, and building the future of mobility.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Streamline architecture<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more you commit to a single platform, the more you reduce friction between software components\u2026 and the faster you can put new technology to work. In fact, a recent BARC survey found that users of Google Cloud excel at putting AI tools into production. These Cloud AI Innovators lead the overall market in deployment of every AI-related technology, from GPUs and TPUs to MCP servers, vector databases, and knowledge graphs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Google Cloud Users\u2019 Deployment of AI-Related Technologies Leads in All Categories <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(n=96)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2421\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/thought-leaders\/files\/2026\/03\/oie_pQfAV4BhsPQg.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/thought-leaders\/files\/2026\/03\/oie_pQfAV4BhsPQg.png 503w, https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/thought-leaders\/files\/2026\/03\/oie_pQfAV4BhsPQg-300x167.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lesson for other adopters? Find ways to gradually shift AI workloads to one cloud, thereby tapping a wide ecosystem of advanced tools that play well together. This does not require migrating and consolidating all your data. Rather, AI teams can replicate a subset of on-premises operational data to the cloud or access the data on-premises using virtual pointers. They also can start by hosting new AI projects on a consolidated cloud rather than ripping and replacing systems for existing projects. Streamlining your architecture in this fashion reduces risk, improves team productivity, and makes the business more agile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, Mattel <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.google.com\/transform\/mattel-gen-ai-customer-feedback-real-time-product-improvements\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">accelerated<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> its customer feedback process on Google Cloud. Its product quality analytics team used BigQuery, Vertex AI, and multimodal Gemini models to study millions of customer interactions in real time. This helped designers and supply-chain managers rapidly fix hot-button issues such as a malfunctioning Barbie Dreamhouse elevator, saving the company $1 million.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Strengthen governance<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI adopters must strengthen their data governance programs to make AI inputs more trustworthy, ensure user privacy, and comply with regulations. This is not easy. For starters, data quality now ranks as the #1 obstacle to AI success, up from #6 in early 2024 according to BARC\u2019s latest <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/barc.com\/research\/successful-ai-genai-delivery\/\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">survey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. AI adopters must tackle this problem while also extending their governance programs to mitigate AI model risks such as hallucinations and agent risks such as bad decisions or damaging actions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like most organizations, Cloud AI Innovators struggle with governance overall. But nearly 61% of Google Cloud adopters now use compliance and regulatory management tools in production for AI. Our chart above also shows that 46% are in production with data trust frameworks and 45% are in production with data lineage, observability, and monitoring. Such technologies improve the ability of governance teams to mitigate risks by enforcing policies with strong technical controls. A streamlined cloud infrastructure, coupled with common standards, protocols, and APIs, simplifies this effort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a case in point, Ericsson <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.google.com\/blog\/topics\/telecommunications\/how-ericsson-achieves-data-integrity-and-superior-governance-with-dataplex\" class=\"external\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">established<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a data governance framework based on Google Dataplex Universal Catalog. This catalog served as the foundation for a universal glossary that standardized business terminology to give decision makers a common language. Dataplex Universal Catalog also governs data discovery processes; centralizes metadata for classification, compliance, and lineage; and automates data quality checks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Mitigating Governance Risks with Policy Enforcement on a Consolidated Cloud<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2423\" src=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/thought-leaders\/files\/2026\/03\/oie_FMe6cenHxSmc.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"396\" srcset=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/thought-leaders\/files\/2026\/03\/oie_FMe6cenHxSmc.png 414w, https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/thought-leaders\/files\/2026\/03\/oie_FMe6cenHxSmc-300x198.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Getting started<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cloud AI Innovators demonstrate that success comes from aligning people, platforms, and policies. This includes organizing cross-functional human\u2013agent teams, shifting AI workloads to a streamlined cloud architecture, and strengthening governance to ensure responsible AI at scale. Together, these practices reduce risk and accelerate the path from experimentation to business value. Data and AI leaders should act now by appointing executive owners of AI initiatives and empowering them to modernize both architecture and governance.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cloud has spawned rapid AI innovation.
