Humana taps enterprise AI exec - Becker's Payer Issues

Humana just hired a dedicated AI executive to lead their strategy.

You don't have that luxury. You're the AI executive, the operations lead, and the person who still answers customer emails.


That tool your team stopped using? That wasn't your fault. Nobody gave you a clear problem to solve before handing you a subscription. That's a sales failure, not a strategy failure.


Here's what Humana's move actually tells you — even massive companies now know AI needs one owner, one focus, and one measurable outcome. Not a dozen features. Not a platform that does everything. One job. Done well.

The companies getting real ROI from AI aren't buying more tools. They're picking the single most repeated, time-draining task in their business and solving only that. One workflow. Thirty days. Measure it.


Start there. Not with a consultant. Not with a new platform. Open a blank document and write down the one task your team does more than anything else that follows the same steps every single time. That's your first AI project.


What's the one task in your business you wish you never had to do again?
