The hidden costs of delaying AI implementation
Delaying AI implementation costs more than the project. Typical leaks: overtime on work a system could take, error rates that do not improve, and competitors who price or fulfill faster. A six-month wait on a $450K/year onboarding leak is a $225K decision.
Not every delay is wrong. If data is unusable, waiting is cheaper than a failed launch.
The test: is the delay buying information, or avoiding a decision? Assessments exist so you can tell the difference in weeks, not quarters.
