The first wave of overwhelming, profound surprise simply cannot be outsourced to other parts of the organization.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>I mention this because the need for both strategic and operational guidance for generative AI is growing rapidly in higher education institutions.
