UPSTREAM TITLE: Forward Deployed Engineers: Closing the gap between AI pilots and value
SHORT SUMMARY: KPMG describes forward-deployed engineering as a core enterprise-AI execution capability that connects strategy, technology, and operations to move agent initiatives from opportunity discovery into measurable production outcomes. Its framework pairs FDEs with AI factories, change adoption, workforce learning, and embedded governance so successful deployments can scale beyond one project while leaving durable capability inside the organization.
