The latest MIT AI study confirms what we at Neura have been saying for a while: 95% of Gen AI pilots fail. Even though this percentage is debatable, there is no doubt that the majority of AI pilots are stalling. Everyone's focused on the "what", the shiny AI itself. But they're missing the "why" so many projects stall. It's not the technology that's failing; it's everything around it. AI pilots fail predominantly because the 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 to make it succeed are treated like a side show. At Neura, developing AI solutions is at the heart of what we do, and we ensure its success by intentionally bringing our "AI Foundational Enablers Framework" to center stage, hand-in-hand with technology; and that’s how we develop Enterprise AI that moves from pilot to measurable value. We tackle the biggest barriers head-on: 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲 & 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲: We don't just launch projects; we make sure they deliver measurable business outcomes. 𝐆𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 & 𝐔𝐩𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠: We equip your people with the structure and skills to lead the transformation themselves. 𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 & 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐀𝐈: We design solutions that scale responsibly.

The right mindset in an AI-powered partnership transforms products into platforms, processes into outcomes, and strategies into measurable impact. In today’s AI-driven world of spanning Agentic AI, Generative AI, and Embedded AI key is the difference between incremental change and transformational impact lies in the right strategic mindset. True value comes from 1. Products that accelerate transformation while keeping enterprise cores clean and future ready. 2. AI-infused solutions that embed intelligence into everyday processes, unlocking efficiency and new business models. 3. Cross-ecosystem integration (ERP and non-ERP) that connects data, workflows, and people across platforms. 4. Execution confidence, where strategy is converted into measurable outcomes & faster adoption, trusted insights, and scalable innovation. With the right partner mindset, AI is not just technology, it becomes a catalyst for enterprise-wide transformation and new consulting opportunities.

What does it take to build AI systems that are not only powerful but trusted, and truly human‑centric? We are delighted to announce Andi 曹-McAleer, Head of Data & AI Governance at the Financial Times, as a keynote speaker at World Summit AI. At the Financial Times, Andi has been a driving force behind award‑winning transformation initiatives, embedding trust, accountability, and enablement into every stage of Artificial intelligence adoption. As a sought‑after voice in global discussion at tech conferences around the world, and with his deep technical knowledge of strategic foresight and cultural change, Andi has been helping organizations not just comply with regulation, but thrive with governance as a catalyst for value creation! “I’m excited to speak at the World AI Summit because it’s a space where global thought leadership meets real-world application. With AI now touching nearly every industry and function, the Summit offers a real opportunity to explore not just what we can build, but how we build it responsibly. It’s a moment to challenge assumptions, share practical insights, and contribute to a future where AI serves people and enhances organisations reliably” Expect this session to be a blueprint for how leading institutions can responsibly harness AI’s potential while advancing innovation and academic excellence. Discuss and explore this topic with Andi himself this October at the only Ai summit that matters. #WorldSummitAI #AIGovernance #ResponsibleAI #EthicalAI #AIInnovation #LeadershipInAI

Many business executives recognize AI's potential to drive value, yet they often struggle to implement it effectively, especially in large enterprises. Challenges include insufficient capabilities, fragmented AI initiatives and lack of measurable objectives. Also, the fast pace of innovation is making AI transformation harder than ever. So where to start? We always kick off our consulting projects by conducting an AI maturity level assessment with our clients, using our SkildMind framework (more info here https://www.skildmind.com/). This assessment helps us understand where they stand on their enterprise AI journey and identify any existing gaps. Based on these results, we then co-design a tailored strategy so they can advance to the next level on our framework and quickly achieve tangible results. To effectively implement their AI strategy, we recommend establishing an AI Center of Excellence. This organisational structure is beneficial to align AI initiatives with strategic objectives, drive AI adoption, and upskill their workforce. If you need help establishing or operating your AI Center of Excellence, please feel free to reach out. #SkildMind #AICoE #AITransformation World Economic Forum Vera Schneider Jaci Eisenberg Mirette Ibrahim

Agentic AI is increasingly being recognised for its potential to automate complex decision-making by moving beyond traditional human-in-the-loop models toward human-on-the-loop governance. This signals a critical inflection point. Agentic AI is no longer experimental; it's moving rapidly into the enterprise core. What sets agentic AI apart is its ability to autonomously evaluate, decide, and execute, not just follow static algorithms or predefined rules. The technology blends reinforcement learning, real-time contextual awareness, and multi-agent collaboration to create systems that evolve dynamically with business needs. However, the leap from automation to true agency introduces new architectural and governance challenges: 🔺 How do we ensure alignment of agentic AI objectives with broader corporate goals? 🔺 What frameworks validate decisions made by systems that continuously learn and self-modify? 🔺 How do we maintain transparency and auditability in autonomous decision loops? Forward-thinking organisations are investing in hybrid governance models combining human expertise with agentic autonomy to mitigate risks without stifling innovation. At Pixelette Technologies LTD., we focus on building these frameworks in tandem with agentic AI deployment, ensuring scalability and compliance. The question is no longer if agentic AI will transform your business, but how you architect your systems and teams to harness its full potential responsibly.

Why do some organisations see 2.1x more ROI from AI than others? It’s not about investing more it’s about investing differently. At BI3 Technologies, we’ve seen that the most successful AI leaders don’t focus on just automating tasks. They reshape entire workflows, prioritise high-impact use cases, and most importantly, they align people and processes with their AI strategy. Here’s what sets them apart: 80% of spend goes toward reinventing services, not incremental fixes They avoid spreading resources thin across too many pilots They stay focused—going deep on what creates real value They follow the 10-20-70 rule: 10% algorithms, 20% tech, 70% people and process They treat AI as a business transformation, not a tech upgrade The result? Better adoption, faster time to impact, and AI that actually scales. Technology enables. People transform. Want to lead with AI, not just deploy it? We can help you get there with strategy, structure, and systems that scale.

Thinking about starting with AI in your company but you don't know where to begin? It becomes so much simpler once you break it down into distinct steps. At Digiteum, we walk teams through a straightforward roadmap that bypasses all the hype and gets results: 1️⃣ Confirm your data & AI readiness Host a brief workshop to review data quality, integrations, and connectivity. A good data layer is the foundation for good AI. 2️⃣ Pick one high-ROI process Choose a process that makes sense — like automating routine reports. Define the benefit you expect. 3️⃣ Develop a proof of concept 10–12-week pilot with definitive success criteria. Be aware of scalability and connectivity so it is not a toy project. 4️⃣ It is essential to involve Nothing kills AI faster than poor adoption. Bring people in from day one so the solution fits real workflows. Begin slowly. Accomplish rapidly. Be driven by data quality throughout the process. That's how you go from ‘AI sounds good’ to ‘AI works for us.’ ▶️ See the entire talk-show recording: AI in Healthcare & Pharma: https://lnkd.in/etRyB3cf 📄 Book your 2-hour Data & AI Readiness Review: https://lnkd.in/ehYdB37a #AI #DigitalTransformation #Data #Innovation #AIinBusiness
