    Shaping AI-Powered Services That Qualify as AI Revenue

    In this episode, Jonathan Corrie speaks with Stephen Elrod, SVP Global Delivery & Professional Services at Degreed, about the intersection of AI, services-led growth, and transformation in Professional Services. Stephen shares how Degreed has positioned services not as a reactive function but as a growth engine. By engaging services early in the sales cycle, his team helps shape deals, advise clients, and reinforce value across the customer journey. He highlights how a strong partnership between Professional Services and Sales ensures services are seen as revenue-generating, not just post-sale delivery. A major theme is AI-powered services: - How Degreed’s AI learning solutions are transforming customer outcomes - Overcoming AI-literacy gaps among clients - Leveraging AI internally to enhance team productivity and delivery quality Stephen also reflects on Degreed’s services transformation - from cost center to profit contributor and what it takes to lead teams through change. Governance, process, and control matter, but success depends on how teams embrace transformation and align around value creation.   Follow Precursive: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/precursive X: https://twitter.com/precursive Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/precursive YouTube: http://ow.ly/RPxH50Chv9k
