The data is in. And data doesn’t lie:
The good news: 11% of companies have adopted Gen AI at scale.
The bad ones: 89% of companies are failing to do so.
The data is from a brilliant Mckinsey article I read this week - take a look here, it's worth a read https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/mckinsey-digital/our-insights/moving-past-gen-ais-honeymoon-phase-seven-hard-truths-for-cios-to-get-from-pilot-to-scale
My hypothesis for why we are failing:
We are focusing too much on the tech, the data and the use-cases.
Not people.
So many are bringing their own AI to work (78%) because they see the value already... and they don't find the tools at work.
So now we need to focus way more on enabling people and BUILDING CAPABILITY by doing 3 things.
And several companies are now doing it, or coming forward publicly with her efforts. During the upcoming newsletters I will share concrete examples - so we can all think what could apply to our own companies.
I believe it’s our collective priority to BUILD CAPABILITY and re-skill entire organisations.
The most urgent and important of all.
And I'm not normally this extreme. But any company that doesn’t have a capability department properly resourced or at the top of their strategic agenda... is going to be obsolete.
In months, not years.
See you next week.

6 个月Love this Marco Andre ??! With so much attention on AI , I am perplexed why companies are missing the need to re-skill the people in their organizations. Looking forward to reading more of your upcoming newsletters on tangible examples.

6 个月I love how you bring humanity into the Tech topic Marco. I’m with you on this one, only few companies teach their people the how and why use AI. And immediately a question comes to my mind. If AI does mundane tasks for us at work, what brings us joy at work? Do we know and do we know how to leverage on that as companies? I often see that even to talk about our successes or strenghts is difficult, we are so much used to move on to another task, push through another problem. If AI can help with that, bright future is ahead of us;)
