AI That Pays The Bills

The Inconvenient Truth

​

83% of CEOs say AI is a strategic priority. 78% of AI projects never move beyond pilot stage. 90% of those that do fail to generate positive ROI.

This keynote reveals why — and, more importantly, how to be part of the 10% that turn AI into real revenue.

 

What Your Team Will Master

The 5 Fatal Mistakes (& How to Avoid Them)

  • Lack of Strategic Clarity

    • How to turn “let’s use AI” into specific problems with measurable ROI.

    • The question framework that clarifies any project in minutes.

  • Wrong Metrics

    • Why “accuracy” and “precision” are irrelevant (and what to measure instead).

    • How to translate technical metrics into P&L impact.

  • Insufficient Data

    • The 5‑minute test to know if you have enough data to start.

    • How to build solid data foundations without spending millions.

  • Organizational Resistance

    • Why 70% of adoption efforts fail (hint: it’s not the technology).

    • The change management process tailored for AI.

  • Shiny Tech Syndrome

    • How to choose the right technology, not the most sophisticated.

    • When to use AI, when to use automation, and when to use nothing at all.

Proven Implementation Frameworks

  • The 5‑level maturity model for enterprise AI.

  • The prioritization matrix: impact vs. complexity vs. data.

  • The stage‑gate process adapted for AI projects.

  • Agile methodologies that actually work with machine learning.

How This Keynote is Different​

​

  • No hidden sales pitches. I don’t represent any technology or vendor — the focus is solely on results.

  • No unnecessary complexity. If automation solves it, I use automation. AI only when it makes financial sense.

  • No magic promises. Real numbers, real cases, real ROI.

 

Audience & Outcomes

​​​

  • Ideal Audience: C‑Level executives, Strategy Directors, Innovation Leaders, and P&L Owners.

  • Outcomes:

    • Clear diagnosis of your current AI projects.

    • Identification of 3–5 quick wins implementable within 90 days.

    • Governance framework for AI with ROI focus.

    • Reduced risk of project failure.

 

Investiment & Next Steps ​

​​

This keynote is ideal for:

  • Investment Committees — deciding where to allocate AI budgets.

  • Project Kick‑offs — ensuring value focus from day one.

  • Strategic Reviews — evaluating your AI initiative portfolio.
