Two decades at the intersection of data, AI, and organizational transformation. Practitioner, author, and advisor to senior leaders navigating the most consequential shift in enterprise history.
Organizations are not struggling to adopt AI because they lack access to models, tools, or talent. They are struggling because transformation is fundamentally a human and organizational challenge—one that requires a systematic, principled approach.
The Adaptive Organization introduces the CATALOG framework: a proven methodology for data and AI leaders who need to move beyond pilots and drive organization-wide change at scale.

Read Article →Replace AI hype and data drift with context-rich, explainable systems that scale trust, not just technology.
Read Article →The Defense Department is moving beyond basic AI automation toward predictive maintenance, cyber operations, and enterprise-wide efficiency -- but scaling requires better infrastructure, cleaner data, and tighter collaboration across agencies and allies.
Read Article →Patrick McGarry is the Federal Chief Data Officer at ServiceNow and a recognized voice in data, analytics, and AI strategy. With two decades of experience advising C-suite executives and building high-performing data organizations, Patrick brings both theoretical rigor and hard-won operational perspective to the question of how organizations actually transform.
His work spans the full spectrum of the modern data and AI enterprise—from data architecture and analytics enablement to executive alignment and organizational change. He has worked across federal, commercial, and technology sectors, giving him a rare breadth of insight into how different institutions approach transformation.
The Adaptive Organization is the synthesis of that experience: a practitioner's guide to the frameworks, decisions, and leadership behaviors that separate organizations that thrive in the AI era from those that struggle.
Patrick speaks to executive audiences, leadership teams, and practitioner communities on the topics at the heart of The Adaptive Organization: AI strategy, data leadership, organizational transformation, and the governance frameworks that make it all sustainable.
A structured approach to AI-era transformation, built for CDAOs and senior leaders who need a roadmap, not just a vision.
Why the organizations winning with AI are investing as heavily in people and culture as in models and infrastructure.
Practical frameworks for responsible AI deployment that enable speed rather than create bureaucratic drag.
How CDAOs and CDOs can step into the organizational role their enterprises need them to play.
