202X Vision: Moving your AI- From PoC to Proof of Profit for a Faster Scale

The AI Scaling Reality: AI investment is moving beyond experimentation into adoption worldwide. Yet a stark gap exists between pilot success and profitable scale.

72% of enterprises run AI pilots showing topline (revenue) or bottomline (cost) potential. Only 10% successfully scale enterprise-wide. The MIT NANDA study found 95% never deliver ROI—with vendor partnerships succeeding at 67% vs 33% for internal builds, recommending "buy, not build" for most enterprises.

Contrasting ROI studies reveal the divide:

• Optimistic view: SAP reports 16% current ROI → 31% expected; Microsoft shows 3.7x ROI for top performers

• Pessimistic reality: McKinsey finds only 6% achieve 5%+ EBIT impact; IBM reports 5.9% average ROI

  
  

Both enterprises and vendors struggle post-pilot. Buyers increasingly demand production-scale proof before committing.
