AI does not fail because of ambition. It fails because the foundations are missing.
Most businesses we meet already have the appetite for AI. What's missing is clarity over data ownership, quality and governance.
Reports do not match across teams
Nobody owns the critical data
Power BI has grown without control
Data quality issues are hidden
AI tools are tested without governance
