What you'll learn

AI pilots fail due to organizational reasons NOT technical

Clear ownership, workflow alignment, and change management are as critical as technology.

Business outcomes have to be clear from the start

Clear target metrics including user experience, business outcomes, and timing have to be defined upfront.

Pilots need failure criteria as much as success criteria

Know when to pause, pivot, or kill based on cost, performance or market trends.

Why this topic matters

Ninety percent of AI pilot projects fail, often leaving executives who funded them surprised and at risk of losing the trust of their leaders and customers. Most failures are not due to technical issues. In an environment where AI is prioritized at the board level, executives who understand how to structure and evaluate use cases effectively will position their teams and businesses for success.
