Let’s get real – AI isn’t magic. You can’t just plug it in and expect miracles.
| Aspect | Top 1% (Do’s) | 99% (Don’ts) |
|---|---|---|
| Strategy | AI, they tie to real goals. Clear roles. | Toss random tools around. Projects live in silos. |
| Data | Time they spend on clean, secure, trusted data. | Data prep? Nah. Dirty data, all day. |
| Human – AI Synergy | Humans, they enhance. Feedback loops, they build. Training? Ongoing. | Replace everyone? Sure. Oversight? Nope. |
| Measurement | ROI, productivity, impact – they track all of it. | Metrics? What metrics? Success is… unclear. |
If AI doesn’t fix a clear problem, don’t bother.
What were we thinking when we skip the basics?
