AI Transformation: Ready or Already?

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Generative AI promises substantial productivity gains, but many initiatives fail. This column argues that outcomes depend on readiness, not technology alone. We examine AI transformation requirements across organizational, individual, and technological dimensions, highlighting why engineering practices, human factors, and strategic clarity determine success.
