Webinar | The AI Pilot Paradox - Why Failure Rates Are Misunderstood & What Leaders Can Do About It

AI headlines often claim that 80–95 percent of AI pilots fail. But the truth behind these numbers is far more nuanced. In this webinar, Georgetown University Professor and Outcomes360 Chief AI Officer Joe Vallone uncovers what these failure statistics actually mean, why they are frequently misinterpreted, and what leaders can do to improve their AI success rates.

This session brings a practical, leadership-focused perspective for executives and transformation teams who want a clear, realistic, financially sound path to AI success.
