The Al game: How do companies win
summary
Organisations face cultural, not just technical, barriers: Harvard reports 91.9% of executives cite culture as the biggest obstacle, and AWS data shows 54% of GenAI projects fail to reach production. Examples: Rufus ingests millions of reviews to personalize recommendations; Amazon Q Developer/CodeWhisperer cuts repetitive coding and boosts developer productivity by 57%; an ad image generator raises click-throughs by 40%; an account-summary generator produces 70,000 summaries saving ~35 minutes each. Success relies on customer-obsessed leadership, small empowered teams, and the working backwards mechanism.
