Bridging the AI Implementation Gap: Why So Many AI Pilots Stall

One of the main bottlenecks in enterprise-wide AI adoption is transitioning from AI pilots to full operationalization. In speaking to industry experts, I've learned that some companies have activated as many as 50 pilots across their global ecosystem, however they struggle with widespread use of AI. Here’s some stats…

Industry research and surveys (as of late 2024) shows a striking gap:

• 80-85% of medium to large companies have launched at least one AI pilot.

• But only 20-25% of those pilots successfully transition to full deployment and sustained adoption.

The success rates vary by industry:

• Financial services & tech: 25-30% operationalization

• Healthcare & manufacturing: 15-20%

• Public sector: 10-15%

So, what’s holding back these companies from full-scale AI adoption?

• 68% report a lack of a clear adoption strategy

• 64% struggle with workflow integration

• 59% face insufficient change management

• 57% report data quality & integration issues

• 52% find it hard to demonstrate business value

As you see, AI success is more about strategy, change management, and workflow integration than technology. I’ve built Caspius, LLC to address these challenges head-on to help our clients unlock AI’s potential. If your company is experiencing similar barriers to AI adoption, let’s talk.
