Despite massive investment in AI…
most organizations are not yet seeing meaningful ROI.
There are many reasons for this, but there is one in particular that is undervalued and underaddressed — with the greatest potential for success:
👉 The impact of constant change on the humans leading the work.
Even the most competent leaders are finding themselves struggling with uncertainty and instability on a new level.
The question is no longer whether AI is worth the investment.
