“If you can prove value with a live prototype, selling the business case becomes much easier.”

In this episode of the Data Culture Podcast, Sidharth Ramachandran (Senior Director Data & AI, RTL Deutschland) shares how RTL’s AI Incubator helps bring GenAI ideas from concept to working prototype in 8 to 20 days.

We talk about what makes AI work different from “deterministic” software, why enablement and hands-on workshops matter as much as engineering, and how to scale adoption without turning governance and permissions into a bottleneck.

Key topics we cover

  • What RTL’s AI Incubator does, and why speed beats PowerPoint
  • Prototype to product: when teams can self-serve vs. when you need an incubator
  • Why AI products need feedback loops (and why “it won’t work 100%” is normal)
  • Enablement that sticks: small group workshops built around real pain points
  • AI as “100 interns”: supporting creativity while removing annoying work
  • What “evangelizing AI” looks like in a large organization
  • A teaser for Sidharth’s talk at the Data Festival Munich
