The Problem: GenAI is Booming - But Results Aren’t
Organizations are racing to adopt Generative AI - launching pilots, buying LLM licenses, and hiring prompt engineers.Yet, 70% of AI initiatives stall after the pilot phase. They either fail to scale, don’t align with core business outcomes, or run into organizational resistance.
Why?
Because they skipped the most important step: Discovery.
🧠 Why Discovery Is the Foundation for AI ROI
