Most leaders have a set of talking points to sound smart on generative AI. Few, however, have a coherent plan for AI transformation. Given the gap between a press release and a blueprint for algorithmic reinvention, this is a problem for any business serious about leveraging AI, rather than chasing the latest technology trend. What they need right now is to know how to scale proof-of-concept pilots and projects into reimagined processes and platforms.

Summary.
The risk with generative AI is not that leaders fail to try it, but that trying is as far as they get. Despite the progress made by vendors, using AI-enhanced productivity tools alone will not give you a competitive edge — just as provisioning smartphones, email, or web access to your team is nothing more strategic than providing electricity or running water. There are three drivers of AI scale: community, commonality, and coordination. Companies should enable their explorers, build platforms instead of buying products, and prioritize for impact.
