AI Delivery Playbook: From Pilot to Production

A practical delivery guide for the program leaders accountable for turning AI ambition into production systems and measurable business results.

What's inside

Why AI projects fail at twice the rate of conventional IT programs — and the five delivery principles that change those odds, drawn from RAND, MIT, McKinsey, and BCG research.
A five-phase delivery lifecycle (Readiness → Data Foundation → Pilot → Production → Scale), with clear phase-gate criteria so no team jumps ahead before the prerequisites are met.
A use-case selection framework that scores business impact, data availability, technical complexity, stakeholder support, and path to production — before any build begins.
The Data Foundation Sprint methodology: why Gartner predicts 60% of agentic AI projects will fail in 2026 specifically because of inadequate data, and exactly how to gate on it.
A delivery team and budget blueprint, plus a change management section explaining why 70% of AI value comes from workforce and process redesign — not the model itself (BCG).
A First 90 Days action plan with governance checkpoints, KPIs, and the risk mitigations that separate the 34% who reach production from the 95% who stall at pilot.
