Building a Robust AI Strategy That Delivers Real Business Value

Most businesses don’t fail at AI because the models are weak. They fail because the strategy is. Too often, AI is treated as a set of disconnected pilots stuck in “proof of concept purgatory.” One team builds a chatbot. Another tries forecasting. Another plays with generative content.
