    Why Do We Rush to AI

    In this episode of Digital Value Creation, brothers Tamas and Arpad Hevizi explore the psychological and career forces behind AI adoption, from the boardroom to the front line.

    DVC107 - The AI Divide - Success Beyond AI Pilots

    Success Beyond AI Pilots - Discover how AI Leaders deliver value from their projects - in 30 minutes Most companies are racing to adopt GenAI—but only a small minority are seeing measurable P&L impact. In Episode 107 we unpack the “GenAI divide”: why enterprise rollouts stall while employees quietly get value from consumer tools; how to kill vanity metrics and track real outcomes; when to buy vs. build; and what it takes to scale agentic AI safely (orchestration, MCP, human-in-the-loop at the hard edges, full observability, reversibility). We close with an industry reality check and a concrete playbook of where value is landing first. Why the GenAI Divide Matters: Discussing the hype vs. value problem and what “real impact” means for the P&L. 🎯 Watch for: outcome KPIs over adoption stats; greenfield + workflow-embedded agents; partner leverage where you don’t have scale; governance that enables speed without sacrificing control. Chapters: 1️⃣ — ⚖️ Consumer vs. Enterprise AI: The Paradox & Risk - 1:45  Employees get value from consumer tools while enterprise access lags; the rise of unsanctioned use. 2️⃣ — 📊 Metrics That Matter: Productivity ≠ Business Value  - 4:30 How vanity metrics mislead; focus on process change, cost-to-serve, revenue lift, legacy retirement. 3️⃣ — 🛠️ Build vs. Buy: Escaping the Internal-Dev Trap - 9:21 Why internal AI stacks stall; when partnerships more than double success odds. 4️⃣ — 🏁 Comparative Advantage: Focus Where You Win - 11:13 Reallocate scarce talent from platform building to domain-differentiating use cases. 5️⃣ — 🚀 Pilot → Production: Why Pilots Fail & How to Cross the Chasm - 13:06  Why demos break at scale; integrate with core systems; mid-market playbook for 90-day production. 6️⃣ — 🔁 The Missing Learning Flywheel (Trust Gap) - 15:38  Systems must remember, adapt, and improve—otherwise users won’t trust them for high-stakes work. 7️⃣ — 🤖 Agentic AI 101: Orchestration, MCP & Guardrails - 17:50 Goal-seeking agents with tools; MCP vs. APIs; designing for adoption with HITL, observability, reversibility. 8️⃣ — 🏢 Industry Reality Check: Who’s Actually Winning? - 24:18  Tech & media lead; many ops-heavy sectors lag; functional pockets of traction emerge first. 9️⃣ — 🕶️ Shadow AI → Productize, Don’t Prohibit - 26:42  Don’t ban it—productize it. Embed in workflows. Support Learning. 🔟 —💰 Where P&L Value Lands  - 28:25  Early wins are  in legal review, & contracts, AP automation, sales ops, and code generation. AI Leaders use the “Start small, Be Selective, Scale what matters” playbook.  #DigitalValueCreation #GenAI #AgenticAI #EnterpriseAI #AIatWork
