# Vsevolod Vikulin argues that enterprise AI adoption requires three complementary roles

## Retrieval answer

Vsevolod Vikulin argues that enterprise AI adoption requires three complementary roles: a central team to build the platform, Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) to embed agents in business processes, and an AI-transformation leader to set priorities.

Vsevolod Vikulin argues that enterprise AI adoption requires three complementary roles: a central team to build the platform, Forward Deployed Engineers (FDEs) to embed agents in business processes, and an AI-transformation leader to set priorities. The article frames the organizational challenge as a “long tail” of small, company-specific workflows that may not attract centralized teams. It compares this top-down infrastructure and bottom-up implementation pattern with earlier waves of spreadsheets, ERP systems, and cloud computing. The author also predicts that employees may take on more implementation as platforms mature. These are an analytical framework and forecast, not evidence that every organization needs the same structure or that FDEs will disappear. Source: https://vikulin.ai/posts/who-implements-ai
