Damned If You Do. Damned If You Don't.

The AI Trap Catching Industrial SMBs

Webinar Summary

Most organizations are experimenting with AI β€” but experimentation without strategy is expensive. In this session, we unpacked why 95% of AI pilots fail to deliver measurable business impact, and what separates the organizations that succeed. The answer isn't better technology β€” it's a leadership commitment to treat AI adoption as a change management initiative, not a tech project. Attendees walked away with a clear understanding of how to sequence their AI strategy, what leadership must own before investing a single dollar, and how the right approach can deliver a 2x improvement in free margin before the end of 2028.
