Even the most meticulously crafted AI business case can fail at the final hurdle - securing Board buy-in. With research showing 88% of AI pilots never reach production, effective presentation isn’t just about gaining initial approval but establishing the path to full implementation. This final article in my series explores how to present AI investment proposals to Boards, addressing their six key areas of concern while building the stakeholder confidence necessary for successful transformation. By understanding Board dynamics, anticipating objections, and structuring presentations that balance strategic vision with implementation rigour, you can navigate the critical journey from business case to production-scale AI.

As I discussed in my article on building and managing AI-capable teams, organisations face a critical challenge in acquiring the right talent for AI transformation. This reminds me of the early days of cloud adoption, when I advised enterprises on their migration strategies. Back then, I witnessed the same scramble for scarce talent, which led me to advocate strongly for upskilling existing teams rather than relying solely on external hiring.

In my previous article, Transforming the Board: Using Decision Analytics for Strategic Advantage, I introduced the concept of AI-powered decision analytics as a transformative approach to board decision-making.

The EU AI Act, which came into force on August 1, 2024, establishes significant penalties for non-compliance, including fines of up to €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover for serious violations. As regulatory frameworks for artificial intelligence rapidly evolve worldwide, Boards face a new imperative: navigating complex compliance requirements while maintaining the innovation speed necessary to compete.

In June of 2024, I introduced the concept of the AI Stages of Adoption (AISA), a framework for understanding where organisations are in their AI journey. Since then, I’ve had countless conversations with business leaders about how this framework helps them navigate their transformation. Today, I want to share a deeper perspective on AISA and how you can use it to accelerate your organisation’s AI adoption.

While here in San Francisco for a business trip, I got the opportunity to spend time with technology innovators and leaders, and what struck me was the contrast in AI adoption approaches, and openness to transformation using AI compared to my experiences in Europe. A new benchmark report from Gallup has confirmed what many of us in technology leadership have long suspected: Europe’s lag in AI adoption isn’t a matter of insufficient capital – it’s a cultural challenge that runs deep.

As artificial intelligence (AI) advances into the workplace rapidly, one of the most pressing questions on everyone’s mind is, “If machines can do our jobs faster, more accurately, and at a lower cost, what happens to us?” It’s true that AI is beginning to redefine the very essence of work, raising concerns about the potential displacement of knowledge workers. However, I’d like to propose an alternative perspective—one where those same workers earn the same or more whilst working far fewer hours.
