Operating models, workflows, and software development processes were never designed for AI — resulting in stalled initiatives, lost momentum, and an inability to deliver measurable business value.
Research from RAND found that 84 percent of business leaders believe AI will significantly impact their organization — yet only 14 percent report being fully ready to integrate it, and more than 80 percent of AI projects fail at twice the rate of comparable non-AI technology projects. Stanford HAI’s 2025 AI Index confirmed that while organizational use of generative AI more than doubled in a single year, most companies that report any financial impact from AI estimate those benefits at low levels. The result is stalled initiatives, lost momentum, and an inability to deliver measurable business value.
Emerj featured three leaders from HTEC on the AI in Business Podcast — Lawrence Whittle, Chief Strategy Officer; Ronny Fehling, Chief AI Transformation Officer; and Tim Sears, Chief AI Officer — in a series examining how enterprises can move AI from isolated wins to repeatable, business‑visible impact.
