A short monologue (by Tim Davies) about barriers companies face in becoming AI-ready. The speaker emphasizes that poor data conditions are often the main obstacle (e.g., companies still using decades-old Access databases) and stresses the consultancy practice of first identifying a customer's single biggest problem before proposing AI or automation solutions.

Inevitably, there are few companies out there who are ready to go from where they are now to something AI enabled Data condition is normally the biggest one. So if you're wanting something AI to help, but you're still running on a access database from 20 years ago within your company, then there are some steps that we need to take to take you from where you are to being AI ready, if you like. So I think they're the customers. We enjoy those that want something, but they don't know what they want. And whenever we sit down with a customer, the first question is always, what's your biggest problem? Because when it comes to AI or automation, generally, we need to know what the problem's going to be that we're going to solve before we can start attacking a solution.
