Most companies are treating AI as a “tech race.” They’re buying the latest tools but plugging them into broken, messy processes. The result? They just end up with a faster mess. In this episode of Tech Talk Shorts, I break down why successful AI adoption isn’t an IT project—it’s a business transformation journey.
Key Takeaways:
âś… Why your CIO shouldn’t be the only one leading AI.
âś… The role of the Business Transformation Office.
âś… The “Golden Rule”: Simplify the process before you automate it.
👇 Watch the full short below and let’s discuss: Is your team ready for AI, or are your processes holding you back?
HBR in their July/2019 publication,
had referred to one of their recent surveys where thousands of executives took
part in sharing their thoughts of how their companies use and organize AI and
advanced analytics, with the results being far from encouraging as 8% of
surveyed firms engage AI in core practices that support widespread adoption. While
the rest of them are only applying AI in just a single business process.
Why the slow progÂress? At the
highest level, it can be a reflection of a failure to rewire the organization,
particularly that AI along with other promising digital transformation initiatives
are facing formidable cultural and organizational barriers. Yet, if the
business is blessed with a leader who at the outset take steps to break down
those barriers, then they have a significant advantage of capturing the most of
AI opportunities.
