Welcome and event introduction
The Hidden Reasons Most AI Implementations Fail, and How to Fix Them
Most companies are investing in AI, yet up to 95% fail to generate meaningful ROI. The problem is rarely the model, the tools, or the technology. In this talk, I will break down the uncomfortable truths behind failed AI initiatives, including tool first thinking, lack of process orchestration, poor problem framing, and the absence of human and organisational readiness. The session will conclude with a practical framework for fixing AI implementation at the strategy and system level, focusing on where AI actually belongs, where it does not, and how to design for measurable business outcomes instead of hype. Audience takeaway: a clear mental model for evaluating AI initiatives, avoiding common failure patterns, and building AI systems that deliver real ROI.
