These viewpoints indicate that your role, and that of your team, is not well understood, and it is more than likely that neither you nor the team will be valued and funded.
If you are considering joining an organization where the executives say the things I have listed above, you are probably talking with them because someone at the executive level is advocating for advanced analytics, and that is good, but if other executives hold the views expressed above, it will only be a matter of time before the sponsor and the other executives will be infected with and succumb to the same views.
Of course, it could go the other way too, but I am a firm believer in planning for the downside.
The downside is easy to describe. The executive sponsor who is advocating for the funding and hiring of an analytics team will fight for the funding and hiring of a leader and a team. The executive sponsor wins the ability to fund a small team. The analytics team leader and the analytics team work diligently to engage and illustrate success. The skeptical and unconvinced executives work consistently to undermine the efforts of the analytics team. The executive sponsor loses the will to continue to fight with the other executives. The funding is reduced for the advanced analytics and AI team, the best team members leave, the leader leaves, and the entire effort becomes part of the company history, a footnote of a failed effort. This failure could have been easily avoided if the analytics leader had conveyed the project scope and efforts clearly to the executive team and convinced them.
