A company buys ChatGPT Enterprise. Then:
marketing uses it for copy
one engineer automates half their workflow
another refuses to touch it
managers say “we should use AI more”
nobody knows what “more” means
Three months later, leadership asks the inevitable question: “So… are we actually getting ROI from this?”. Silence. Not because AI failed.
Because adoption inside companies is mostly random. And random systems don't scale.
Most companies approach AI rollout like this:
Buy tools
Announce initiative
Hope employees figure it out
That works for maybe two weeks. After that, you get what every company gets:
inconsistent usage
inconsistent output
no shared standards
no visibility into who’s actually effective with AI
Useful? Sometimes.
Measurable? Not really.
The uncomfortable part: most companies still evaluate people like AI doesn’t exist.
Performance reviews ask communication, ownership & collaboration.
Fine.…
