Ehsan's Insight
McKinsey estimated $4.4 trillion in annual AI value creation potential. The actual realized value is probably under $500B. The gap is not technical — it is organizational. AI transformation fails when it is treated as an IT project. It succeeds when it is treated as a change management project. The most successful AI transformation I witnessed was at a 10,000-person manufacturing company that spent 6 months training every manager on AI capabilities before deploying a single model. By the time the models arrived, the organization knew what to do with them. Training came first. Technology came second. Every company gets this backwards.
