Each organization had its own governance model, collaboration patterns, security posture, identity architecture, and operational culture. The goal was simple: understand why some organizations successfully scale AI while others repeatedly fail despite investing in the same technology. WHY MOST AI ADOPTION FAILS The biggest obstacle to AI success isn't technology.It's governance.Most organizations approach AI adoption as a procurement exercise. They purchase licenses, launch pilot programs, measure usage, and expect business value to emerge automatically. The reality is far different. The simulation revealed that most AI initiatives fail because they are deployed into operating models that were never designed for AI-driven work.Throughout the episode, Mirko demonstrates how identity sprawl, collaboration chaos, automation debt, unclear ownership, and compliance theater create predictable failure patterns that appear in almost every organization.The surprising discovery wasn't that organizations fail.It was how consistently they fail.
