AI capability is doubling every six to seven months — but most organizations are nowhere near ready to absorb it. Brian Paniccia, Chief Product Officer at nVeris and Managing Partner of TecVeris, joins Alan Shimel on TechStrong TV ahead of his Flowtopia 2026 session, ‘Mind the AI Gap.’ Brian traces his path from healthcare software engineer at Johns Hopkins through Capgemini, GE, and three startups to building nVeris — an AI-powered value stream platform that replaces month-long workshops with collaborative, real-time mapping. He and Alan dig into why value stream management is the missing layer for closing the AI adoption gap, how agentic orchestration across local and mini models avoids token sticker shock, and why the human aspect of being in the loop and on the loop is the deciding factor in whether your organization lands on the abundant side of the AI curve.
