The reason enterprise AI programmes stall is not the technology — it is the sequence in which decisions are made before and after the pilot succeeds. In this episode, Ronny Fehling, Chief AI Transformation Officer at HTEC, examines why AI initiatives lose momentum at the production threshold and what organisational conditions determine whether they make it through. The discussion covers production slices, decision gates with kill-switch authority, use case discipline, and why top-down AI mandates tend to reproduce the same failure modes regardless of budget.
