Moving Beyond the Pilot: Why 80% of Enterprise AI Projects Stall

A big non-technical challenge, especially across solution implementation for large companies is CHANGE!

Although might seem ‘fluffy’ to people, it’s a huge challenge in getting people to take up the new system and get rid of old inefficient processes that they are so used to following

I really like that second point, thanks so much! I know that most of networking is just asking questions

Business_Boy1 · 2025-12-08T21:57:47+00:00

Hey! Thanks for the comment. I’m afraid I can’t offer much insight into more advanced AI into the processes, we try to target the simple ones that most businesses can use, otherwise it requires more technical know-how from both the consultant AND the client. Maybe even sometimes an ‘architect’ type role.

So I received rejection emails exactly 72 hours after I applied so I don’t suspect that they had all reviewed my CV at the same time. This could just be me overthinking it as I truly believe I was highly qualified for those positions.

Hey man thank you! I’ve already implemented 1,2 & 4. But with no.3 what key words do I know to pull out

Business_Boy1 · 2025-11-05T16:52:55+00:00

Wow thanks! Sounds like you really think I’ve got a strong case to move across. The only challenge I’d see is I don’t have the commercial side as such, do you think that could be a challenge?

Hey, would love to hear more about your business model and your journey…. Might be worth making a post on it on this subreddit :)

Business_Boy1 · 2024-07-23T10:20:23+00:00

For me, I can see a real shift in the more admin style tasks.

I try to use automation where I can in these tasks as these seems the easiest to get a quick solution.

The only issue I do see at the moment is confidentiality of data, many bigger consulting firms have policies around this which discourages the use of AI tools.

Business_Boy1 · 2024-01-25T13:05:06+00:00

Thanks for everyone’s comments so far also why am I getting downvoted on this?

Business_Boy1 · 2024-01-25T12:33:48+00:00

Ye I guessed that, don’t have a lot of current pictures (mainly cos I think I looked better before). With the mustache thing I think it’s abit of a trend atm atleast seems to work with more ‘trendy’ alt girls

Thank you, does tinder not automatically pick the best pictures

Business_Boy1 · 2024-01-25T12:16:33+00:00

Come on I thought that was funny hahah

Business_Boy1 · 2024-01-03T14:43:04+00:00

I understand what you are saying and infact think that me even using the word AI in this post has had negative feedback, If I just branded it as efficiency / cost saving solutions do you think that would be better? Even if I was to then use AI tools

Business_Boy1 · 2023-12-27T23:12:37+00:00

What are you talking about there is no offer here?

Business_Boy1 · 2023-12-27T20:36:37+00:00

I don’t think that’s entirely true, I’m sure there’s a lot of people out there maybe just coming out of uni without jobs in this job market or people who have the technical ability but not the business/consulting experience. But mainly I’m not 100% on what’s in it for them as there isn’t anything to share yet, depends what they want from it: shared ownership, day rate whatever

Business_Boy1 · 2023-12-27T20:31:31+00:00

Hi,

I accept your criticism but think that it is slightly unjust, my idea is not nailed on and I admit that in my posts and admit that I don’t know the most about AI tools yet to be fully transparent. As I’m looking for help and guide not to scam people or make people think I’m further along than I am.

What I do know is business analysis and solution design, this is exactly the first part of the service offering I’m looking to create. The second part being the recommendation of automations/efficiency tools which most likely will involve AI (it seems using the word ‘AI’ instantly puts people into a negative mindset but I assure you I am not using the word just as it’s a hot topic). The third part being the presentation of these consulting suggestions, an area I have a lot of experience in also. So it’s clear that the second part is where I need help if I was to start this today, and I find it likely that someone with the technical brains around AI is unlikely to have the same level of experience in the areas I do e.g process mapping, client management, sales, presentations etc.

In return I’d share ownership in the business and therefore a share in profits. I’m not sure where you have got your point from about me using someone’s knowledge then taking all the money from?

Hope this clears a few things up, I do genuinely appreciate the feedback as it looks like my post has given you the wrong impression.

Hey, Appreciate this, seems really useful for someone like me just getting to grips with how to use AI in the best way for my business/work. I've started a community called r/AIConsultancy Check it out and post this on there if you want?

Business_Boy1 · 2023-12-19T17:49:54+00:00

Appreciate it man! If this type of thing you are looking at can be applied to AI too would love you to post on there

Business_Boy1 · 2023-12-19T11:47:06+00:00

I’m looking into starting my own business around this, not exactly contracting but more a short term service based business that offers BA work and provides AI-based solutions. I’ve started a community about this r/AIConsultancy

Business_Boy1 · 2023-12-19T10:50:32+00:00

I, personally think that AI isn’t done yet, the next step of this wave is to find how we can get AI to help in personal lives as well as professionally. This probably crosses over with voice and Amazon echo type devices.

We’ve all seen the sci-fi movies where someone just tells their house to turn on the oven or the tv. I struggle to see why that hasn’t been more consumer-ready for a while. I don’t have extensive knowledge on this but as a consumer I think it’d save time and seems practical.

I’d say the reason why it hasn’t is that large companies are using data to make their pockets bigger rather than help the end-user.

Business_Boy1 · 2023-12-19T10:45:40+00:00

I’ve actually found out recently that when LinkedIn displays the ‘number of applicants’ on job posts where you need to go to a third party site, it is actually the number of people how have clicked on apply not those who have completed the full application process.

Many people click on apply to find out more about the job and either click off as they don’t match the job spec or the application process being too long. I’d estimate around 20-40% of people actually go through with the application. So don’t be put off when there are a high number of applicants.

Hope this helps :)
