I walked the tradeshow floor at a conference recently. And it gave me a TON of empathy for customers.
Every booth:
AI bold claims
AI polished demos
AI fancy coffee
They all say basically the same thing, on posters that were all printed last week.
I run an AI company, and even I can’t tell you what many of these companies actually do.
It’s a market full of promises but not a lot of answers. Which means enterprise leaders are returning to their offices full of questions, like:
• Where should we place our bets?
• What’s actually worth changing?
• How do we get to ROI?
That walk reminded me that it doesn’t matter if you’re building or buying, we all need a clean answer to: what will ACTUALLY WORK in the business?
To anyone running AI transformation at their company right now, ignore the shiny. Start with what business problems you actually want to solve. THEN figure out how to get AI to help you solve it.
