Many organizations struggle to demonstrate the business value of AI despite widespread adoption, often due to a lack of a clear operating model and a focus on visibility over impact. A common pitfall is prioritizing where to implement AI rather than identifying expensive or time-consuming tasks that AI could improve. Furthermore, tracking AI usage by metrics like queries or active users misses the crucial element of labor cost savings, which is essential for understanding true ROI.
