Most companies cannot show a return on AI. Not because the technology does not work. Because they are running it backwards.

Business strategy should set the direction. AI strategy should define where AI changes how you compete. Technology should serve both. Most organizations flip that order. Technology leads, AI becomes a list of tools, and neither connects to what the business is trying to win.

The six percent who are seeing real returns made one shift: they put business strategy first and built everything else to serve it.

AI is not a technology initiative. It is a business strategy decision. Read more in our article: https://lnkd.in/eY2S5Kfc

Yesterday, we headed to Chicago with senior leaders for an executive roundtable on one of the biggest questions facing organizations today: How do you move beyond AI pilots and start creating measurable business value?

The conversations were focused on practical strategies for redesigning how work gets done around AI, moving from experimentation to production, and delivering outcomes that drive measurable operational results.

AI is moving fast. Governance isn't.

Most organizations already have AI in production, but when leadership asks how decisions are governed, risks are managed, or compliance is enforced across systems, the answers are often fragmented.

This is where many AI initiatives start to break down.

If you're scaling AI, this is worth a read: https://bit.ly/49cfg6b

Most companies think scaling AI is a technology problem. It's actually a decision-making problem.

The organizations seeing real results aren't replacing people with AI. They're building systems where AI handles speed and scale, while humans provide context, judgment, and accountability.

That's the shift: AI-first → business-first design.

The competitive advantage isn't access to AI anymore. It's the ability to operationalize it responsibly at scale. https://bit.ly/4nsOOeK

What does it take to move from AI pilots to enterprise-wide transformation?

That was the focus of last week's discussion, "Leading AI Transformation: What CEOs and Directors Need to Operationalize Now," featuring Launch's Nick Polachek, CFA at Chicago AI Week.

The most valuable conversations weren't about the technology itself. They were about leadership, governance, adoption, and how organizations can turn AI investments into measurable outcomes.

Thanks to everyone who participated and contributed their insights.

Most companies are approaching AI the wrong way.

They’re adding new tools, agents, and workflows on top of systems that already don’t work.

In this video, Launch President John Cipolla explains a simple truth: AI doesn’t fix broken ways of working—it scales them. The companies seeing real results are doing one thing differently: They align first.
