Faster, Cheaper --- and Missing the Point: Why 95% of AI Is Failing and What the 5% Build Instead - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Nearly every company is using Al. Ninety-five percent of their pilots didn't have a material impact on the P&L. The usual explanations — the technology isn't ready, the data isn't clean, the staff resist it — are all partly true. None of them is the reason.

The reason is the question the ninety-five percent asked when they started: how do we do what we do today faster, and with fewer people? Faster, cheaper. It is how every wave of technology has been sold, and it is why the pilots die. Aim Al at cost and you get, at best, a slightly cheaper version of the company you already have - and usually less than that.

The five percent asked a different question: what could this company do that it cannot do today? Every account watched, every transaction read, a brief before every sales call, service at two in the morning, a finance function they never hired. They built capability - and collected the savings anyway, because a process redesigned around what Al makes possible is cheaper by any arithmetic.

Drawing on more than ninety published studies, court records, and company disclosures, Faster, Cheaper — and Missing the Point shows the owner or executive of a mid-market business:

• Why the pilots die - and how Klarna, McDonald's, Duolingo, and others would have ended differently under a capability charter
• What a hybrid workforce of people and Al actually is, and why capability, not capacity, is the prize
• The nine-workflow discipline the five percent follow - proven practices, put together inside Al
• Who inside the company has to run it, and what to demand of them
• What the platform must do, so you can tell a real one from a chatbot with connectors
• What the first 52 days look like

Capacity is a given. Capability is strategic. Design beats headcount.
