Lee, a former Google president, says half of all companies need new leadership for the AI era. Most AI transformations fail because companies just add AI to existing tasks instead of redesigning their business. A typical large enterprise has only 12 AI staff among 8,000 employees, showing why adoption stays slow.
Lee was the ex-president of Google. He says, "I predict 50% of companies will need new leadership because the old management style won't work in the era of AI." That's exactly why I'm seeing 95% of so-called AI transformation initiatives fail. Most are bolting on AI pallets for functional tasks, but never touching the business core. And this is something that we're seeing quite a bit as well. So in this AI executive group, where it's again, it's we're talking multi-billion dollar companies are in there. I don't see a lot when they're talking about AI transformation. They these people have like not these people exactly, but chief AI officer or head of AI transformation or whatever. And then when I talk to them, it's like, "Oh yeah, 12 people." out of 8,000 people are AI-pilled in the company. It's going to happen a lot slower. But here's the good thing. These companies are all more than happy to hire outside people to help them with this. And it's just going to drag out for a long time to this implementation.
