THE PROBLEM

Speed Without a Foundation is Why AI Programs Stall

Two years of false starts later, AI projects are still being undone by the same three things: escalating costs, unclear business value, and inadequate risk controls.

Speak to any Intelligent Automation (IA) Center of Excellence (CoE) that has struggled to adapt to AI, and they point to one source of failure. The operating model. Most enterprises either stood up a new AI CoE with none of the standards learned from IA, or extended a deterministic framework to govern probabilistic technology.

Neither works. This guide shows what does.
