Business-First AI™
Why Most AI Projects Fail — and the Framework That Fixes It
Most AI projects fail not because the technology doesn't work, but because teams start with a solution before they understand the problem. This talk walks through the Business-First AI™ methodology — a 7-stage framework for building AI products that deliver real business outcomes from day one.

- Understand why AI initiatives fail at the requirements stage
