AI is everywhere—except where it matters most. It’s in strategy decks, press releases, and boardroom buzz. But behind the scenes, most companies are stuck. 67% of organizations have failed to scale AI beyond pilot projects.

So what’s stopping them? And more importantly—what are successful companies doing differently?

This report unpacks a year of research, including in partnership with Stanford University and University of Pennsylvania, and spanning 112,000 employees and 350 companies—​​to reveal the 5 critical chasms that separate AI experimentation from true enterprise-wide transformation. You’ll learn: 
- Why AI adoption spreads faster in some companies—and how to replicate their success
- Why top-down AI strategies fail—and how to get full-team adoption
- How to measure AI success beyond simple usage metrics 
- The hidden roadblocks most companies miss—and how to break through
- Why “AI influencers” could be your key to success—and how to find them in your organization

Most companies won’t cross these chasms before it’s too late. Will yours? Download the report to find out how.
