Artificial intelligence is reshaping the business landscape, with the promise of generating massive efficiencies, cost savings, and competitive advantage. Yet, research shows that most enterprise AI initiatives fail before delivering meaningful results. For CEOs, digital transformation leaders, and innovation executives, the challenge isn’t choosing AI - it’s implementing it effectively for measurable business impact. At Lauren Group, our consultative approach and transformative Now AI workshop address this challenge directly, providing a clear pathway from AI strategy to real, board-level ROI - all in just 90 days.

Why 70% of AI Projects Fail (And How to Be in the 30%)

Despite AI’s popularity, the failure rate for enterprise implementation is staggering - some studies show that over 70% of AI projects stall or fail to meet their objectives. Key reasons include:

1. Lack of business alignment: Projects driven by technology, not company objectives, are easily discarded when budgets tighten.
2. Poor data quality and silos: Fragmented data and inconsistent processes stall progress.
3. Skill gaps and organizational resistance: Without buy-in and change management, teams overlook AI’s potential and resist new workflows.
4. Vendor hype: Over-promising solutions that aren’t production-ready frustrate business leaders and derail execution.
5. Insufficient measurement and communication: When value isn’t reported in business terms, even successful pilots struggle for support.

Lauren Group’s clients achieve success faster by starting with board-level business goals, enabling cross-functional teams, and using a proven, phase-based approach for rapid, measurable progress.
