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.
Key takeaways and action steps from the session β formatted for easy sharing with your leadership team.
Before your organization invests a single dollar in AI, you need to know where you actually stand. This 7-minute AI pre-deployment self-assessment uses the SONAR Frameworkβ’ to score your business across the five pillars that determine whether AI succeeds or fails in your operation:
Strategic Leadership
Operational Data
Normalized Processes
Aligned People, and
Risk & Compliance.
