About this episode
Peggy Smedley and Alex Adamopoulos, chairman and CEO, Emergn, talk about the Global Intelligent Delusion survey and what it has revelated about today's businesses. Roughly 75% of business leaders expect to drive revenue from AI (artificial intelligence) initiatives in the next 12 months, yet 60% acknowledge AI expectations are growing faster than their ability to meet them. He says leaders expect AI to drive growth, but most aren't equipped to deliver at scale, saying the gap isn't even technology, it is capability.
They also discuss:
· If the return is being overhyped and why AI projects fail.
· Why good product management is the bridge that closes this gap between expectation and capability—or ambition and execution.
· Why learning and upskilling remain critical to sustaining long-term progress and profit.
