## Resource

Most AI initiatives stall in experimentation mode. Dr. Fern Halper, VP and Senior Research Director for Advanced Analytics at TDWI and founder of the AI Foundations Group, explains why organizations struggle to convert AI pilots into measurable business value. The conversation covers the foundational systems required to operationalize AI beyond experimentation, the organizational readiness gaps that undermine adoption, and how to prioritize a single high-impact focus over the next 12 months to move from testing to results.
