AI won’t fix your broken culture

Most new enterprise technology requires you to change how you work to get full advantage and benefits. “Containers won’t fix your broken culture” and all that.

There comes a time in all enterprise new technology where this point has to be made. The most valuable technology doesn’t let you improve how you’re currently working, it allows you to change how you work and what the business does to make more money, and accomplish new goals. Sure, it does that by speeding up and optimizing existing processes, sometimes. But making a shit-product faster and cheaper still ends up in a shit-product.

The latest data-exhaust of this point:

  • 44% of CEOs said it is difficult to demonstrate AI-driven financial returns to stakeholders.
  • 75% of CEOs planned to increase technology investment, even as pressure grows to demonstrate measurable business outcomes.
  • 63% of CEOs identified radically redesigning the operating model as a top move for accelerating tangible financial returns from AI.

AI must move from bolt-on to built-in, redesigning workflows and decision-making rather than simply making existing tasks faster.
