AI investment is rising, but measurable business outcomes from AI adoption remain elusive. According to IDC, only 11% of organizations report success in more than 75% of their AI projects – and on average, just 45% of AI initiatives deliver measurable outcomes.* But when AI initiatives succeed, the returns can be substantial. Nearly 55% of organizations estimate a 3–4x return on investment from their GenAI projects.**
Episode 1 of the Fujitsu impact series focuses on why so many AI initiatives stall, and what differentiates organizations that successfully move from pilots to enterprise-scale impact.
Listen to Fujitsu AI experts and a guest speaker from IDC who frame AI adoption as a business transformation challenge, rather than a technology roll-out problem. Learn from their real-world experiences with customers and independent analyst perspectives.
