The potential impact was enormous — delays in major infrastructure projects cost millions, and early prediction saves time and money.
The infrastructure sector appeared perfect for AI disruption. Eight out of ten executives expressed strong interest in AI adoption. Yet only a minority were ready for implementation.
Readiness is multi-dimensional. It’s not enough to have executive buy-in or technical capability. Success requires alignment across user readiness (time and ability to engage), organizational readiness (processes and data practices), and industry readiness (standardization and digital maturity).
Success in AI commercialization often comes from starting simple and narrow. Create immediate value, then build toward sophistication.
In AI commercialization, you must sequence carefully: deliver value first, then gradually increase the ask for user investment.
The AI we used was relatively simple — mainly focused on listing localization and management.
Understanding user readiness, organizational readiness, and industry readiness determines your optimal approach.
Success in AI commercialization requires understanding not just what’s technically possible, but how readiness and time-to-value intersect to create windows of opportunity.
Success requires both sophisticated technology and the wisdom to know when and how to deploy it.
