AA250 - CEOs Admit There's No AI ROI (But Keep Buying It Anyway)

Episode notes

AI had little to no impact on productivity in the past 3 years. This was according to a National Bureau of Economic Research survey released in February 2006 of 6,000 CEOs and executives across the US, UK, Germany, and Australia. Instead of throwing fruit at us, watch or listen as Enterprise Business Agility Consultant Om Patel and Product Manager Brian Orlando discuss why it won't be the loudest Silicon Valley CEO helping us make the most out of these new tools and technology, but boring old process improvement and org design! Yes, the current research-backed consensus (we review more such articles and research) is that AI adoption doesn't lead to productivity gains, but executives are going to still buy it anyway - they've got "positive vibes." So that leaves us to figure it out... and figure it out is exactly what we do, by discussing: Why Executives Won't Stop The Adoption When AI Becomes the Unquestionable HiPPO Are We in the J-Curve, or a New Baseline Deming & Goldratt 101 (Automating a Broken Process) That's right! Tired of hype and want to understand WHY there's no productivity increases? This is the episode for you!
