In this interview, recorded on-site at Community Summit NA 2026, John Siefert, CEO, Dynamic Communities & Cloud Wars, is joined by Justin Delisle, CEO, Tato. The two discuss how the organization is built to act as a virtual teammate, assisting with project management by delivering consistency across decision-making, and how to consider and apply AI in business processes.
Key Takeaways
- Overview: Drawing from his own experience implementing ERPs, Delisle says he built Tato to be “the virtual teammate that would help you implement.” In the present day, Delisle explains that it’s evolved to be the virtual teammate that helps companies with program management and project management during transformation projects.
- Consistency: Effective project management isn’t about asking complicated questions, but about consistently evaluating the impact of decisions on scope, budget, timeline, quality, and stakeholders. Rather than simply identifying problems, strong project managers come prepared with solutions and recommendations, which is where Tato comes in.
- AI considerations: “I think what’s important is that people stop considering AI as just the thing that changes everything,” explains Delisle, and start to consider the “real problem” they’re trying to solve by using it. In terms of actual AI applications, “we’re really at the beginning, and it’s about going problem by problem and taking things step-by-step,” he adds.
