AI has immense potential to assist enterprises by automating routine tasks, analyzing data, and powering applications. While many executives believe AI will create competitive advantages, few have successful AI strategies. There are hurdles to implementing and adopting AI at scale, and adoption varies by industry and function. To maximize AI's impact, businesses should engage stakeholders, set achievable goals, experiment deliberately, measure results, and consider factors like data, change management, trust, ethics and user experience. Data readiness, integrating AI into workflows, and proving ROI are key to successful enterprise AI.
