From buzzword to strategy: The AI compass as the key to success
Why the biggest AI risk is starting without a shared definition
Most AI projects don't fail on technology, they fail on something more human: the lack of a shared language.
Teams talk about AI but each person means something different, and MIT found that 95% of AI projects stall without returns. Ergosign's AI compass tackles that at the source. The compass breaks an early-stage AI idea into eight strategic dimensions, then has the team configure them together and put all expectations on the table.
The result isn't a finished concept, it's a clear AI system profile: what role the AI plays, how much influence it has, how transparent it must be, and the lines it must not cross.
The biggest mistake in AI projects is building too soon.
The second is starting without a shared language.
As editor, writer, and project manager of the AI campaign, I led this piece from concept to publication.
