One of our goals of the Minimum Viable Product is to provide a platform for start-ups, entrepreneurs as well as like-minded to share their thoughts and as such it is our pleasure today to share the thoughts of our former colleague Vladislava Kadija on what you should be focusing on when introducing AI into your organisation.
While running sprints and marathons require different mindsets, some studies have shown that sprints can have multiple benefits in marathon preparation.
But can you excel at both simultaneously?
That is the question we should reflect on looking at today’s CEOs. Balancing the need to demonstrate short-term ROI on AI implementation while sustaining long-term AI innovation within their companies, CEOs face the challenge of delivering immediate value while conserving resources for ongoing transformation.
Looking at research from IBM this can be particularly demanding as:
· 67% of CEOs questioned are facing budget rigidity – “not giving them a chance to capitalize on digital opportunities that drive long-term growth and innovation” (2025 CEO Study - 5 mindshifts to supercharge business growth, pg. 20)
· 52% of CEOs say their organizations understand “the importance of generative AI beyond cost reduction” (Ibid., pg. 53)
· And only one quarter of AI initiatives delivered expected ROI in the last 3 years (Ibid., pg. 50)
So, catch your breath and keep on going!
