AI is the hottest topic in business right now, but here’s the reality: while adoption is skyrocketing, the number of failed or stalled AI initiatives is climbing just as fast. Too many companies chase the latest tools without a clear purpose, and the result is wasted money, frustrated teams, and strategies that never take off.

In this episode of Unmuted, Jeff sits down with AI strategist Limor Markman to break down why so many AI strategies fail, and what organizations can do differently to succeed.

You’ll learn:
* The most common mistakes companies make when rolling out AI strategies
* Why defining the right problem is the foundation of success
* How culture and change management are just as critical as the tech itself
* The first 3 steps any company should take before signing contracts or buying tools

If your organization is exploring AI or struggling to make it work, this conversation is packed with insights you can put into action right away.
