Why 72% of AI Projects Stall After Pilots—And How to Avoid It.

Most teams know AI matters. But without a business-first strategy, AI turns into expensive, disconnected pilots that go nowhere. What’s missing isn’t ambition—it’s clarity, prioritization, and a roadmap that moves.

The Strategy Gap That Slows Progress

72% of AI projects stall after pilots

You know AI matters. But defining where it fits, how it scales, and what it impacts? That’s where most teams struggle. Without a clear path, AI becomes a series of disconnected pilots—or worse, expensive distractions.

The ideas are there. What’s missing is clarity, prioritization, and momentum.”

Strategic Use Case Alignment

Pinpoint where AI will actually move the needle.

Operational Friction Removal

Eliminate bottlenecks across marketing, ops, and decision-making.

Balanced Growth Planning

Quick wins now. Scalable wins later.
