Most AI initiatives die the same death: a vendor sells a tool, nobody owns the strategy, and six months later the license is shelfware.
I've seen it 100+ times. The companies that extract real value from AI have one thing in common — senior leadership owning the AI function. Not a CTO adding it to an already full plate. Not a consultant who drops a report and disappears. An embedded operator who owns outcomes.
That's why I serve as a Fractional Chief AI Officer — embedding into leadership teams to own the AI roadmap, evaluate every vendor decision, and ensure implementation drives revenue within 90 days. The agency handles execution. I handle the thinking.
The companies that treat AI as a mission, not an experiment, are the ones still standing when the hype cycle ends.
