AI Readiness Blueprint for Enterprises
summary
Claims that 80% of AI projects fail and 88% of pilots never reach production anchor a practical five‑pillar readiness model with stage definitions and stage-gate checkpoints. The blueprint prescribes workshops, a readiness assessment canvas and a 90‑day plan, plus infrastructure guidance (data mesh on Snowflake, elastic compute, observability). Cited validations include JPMorgan ($1.5B fraud prevention, 200k users in 8 months), a cement maker on Snowflake with 50M/day points, Unilever (8 PB, 240 TB/week, 23k trained) and Mayo Clinic (250 projects).
