AI Is Working. Your Strategy Is Not

Share your thoughts with usAI users at proficiency save 67 minutes per task, four to eight hours every week. Yet 6 in 10 enterprise AI deployments return zero, and in 9 out of 10 failing rollouts, the leader signing the checks is not a daily AI user.In this episode, Luis Salazar and Elizabeth unpack why individual AI adoption has never been higher, and company-level results have never been further behind. Shadow AI now accounts for 80% of the workforce. Satisfaction with self-chosen tools hits 78% versus 41% on sanctioned ones. Anthropic and Cursor run two to five times ahead of the most efficient pre-AI giants in revenue per employee because their leaders built the companies knowing what AI can do. Most non-native enterprises announce a transformation, but the org chart stays inherited, compensation rewards yesterday's work, and the workflows stay the same. The company's reason and the employees' reasons never meet.The fix starts with one uncomfortable move. Leaders must use AI daily themselves. Then, listen to the people in their company who are already there.For the structured version of that listening move, see AI Compass: https://ai-compass.aiFor the full article with data tables, sources, and companion research: https://ai4sp.org/ai-is-working-your-strategy-is-not🎙️ All our past episodes  📊 All published insights | This podcast features AI-generated voices.
