What ROI? AI Misfires Spur CEOs To Rethink Adoption
💡
Key Takeaway
Only 25% of AI initiatives have met ROI expectations, and just 16% have reached enterprise-wide deployment – numbers that reflect what happens when organizations chase brand positioning instead of solving defined business problems. FOMO-driven spending skipped the foundational work: clean data, internal expertise, and a credible path from prototype to production. Senior leaders who want different results need to tie every AI investment to a specific, measurable problem before the first dollar is committed – not after the pilot disappoints.
