In the rush to implement AI, most organizations make a fatal error: they allow strategy to drift with every new trend, while expecting AI initiatives to deliver lasting competitive advantage. This article reveals why this approach guarantees failure and introduces the StrategyOps 2.0 framework.
The Strategic Paradox: Why AI Initiatives Fail When Strategy Shifts | Ruben E. Melendez | 17 comments
AI is transforming industries—but too many organizations are getting their enterprise-level AI strategy wrong. In the rush to adopt AI, they lack a cohesive, scalable approach, yet still expect AI to deliver lasting competitive advantage. The result? Wasted investments, missed opportunities, and a cycle of limited results. In my latest article, I break down why this approach is doomed to fail—and how the StrategyOps 2.0 framework provides a counterintuitive solution: anchoring your enterprise strategy while evolving AI as a tactical enabler. You’ll discover how to: - Define an AI strategy explicitly set to achieve your enterprise’s strategic and financial goals. - Align AI sophistication with your enterprise strategic business capabilities. - Maintain a timing advantage over competitors. - Transform disconnected AI experiments into drivers of sustainable competitive edge. If you’re responsible for shaping your organization’s AI strategy—or simply want to understand how to make enterprise AI work—this is a must-read. Let’s discuss: What’s your biggest challenge in building an enterprise-level AI strategy? #AI #EnterpriseAI #Strategy #Innovation #Leadership #DigitalTransformation #StrategyOps #VALTICS #XtraiveAI | 17 comments on LinkedIn

MSNBC did an amazing job covering the elections, and if you are like me, I started watching less news since Trump won. MSNBC audience has decreased. We must start watching MSNBC again. If you agree, PLEASE RE-POST! @mcuban.bsky.social @markhamillofficial.bsky.social @theatlantic.com
