Why most AI rollouts fail
Most enterprise AI implementations fail not because the technology isn't good enough, but because they parachute systems onto teams that were never properly equipped or aligned. 95% of Top-Down AI projects fail to show measurable ROI (MIT NANDA, 2025). The fix isn't a better tool. It's a better sequence.
Top-Down (fails)
- • Executive mandates tool adoption
- • Teams have no context or training
- • Low adoption, wasted budget
- • "AI doesn't work here"
Bottom-Up (works)
- • Individual teams solve real pain points
- • Quick wins build internal momentum
- • Ambassadors scale organically
- • ROI before any enterprise rollout
