88% of AI Projects Fail. That's Actually the Point

88% of AI Projects Fail. That's Actually the Point. | Supply Chain Unlocked

CIO Magazine dropped an article that captures the whiplash every operator feels
right now. IBM says 25% of AI initiatives delivered expected ROI. The Enterprise
Strategy Group says 92% of companies say their AI investments already paid for
themselves. Both numbers are real. Both are true. So what's going on?

Teddy VonFeldt and Tom Brouillette break down the contradiction — and why the
real problem isn't AI failure rates. It's how we're measuring.

→ The 88% vs 92% paradox explained
→ POC (Proof of Concept) vs POV (Proof of Value) — why the switch matters
→ The PagerDuty play: don't pay vendors until they prove value
→ The metric that actually matters (hint: it's not ROI)
→ Why 65% of CEOs say customer trust beats any product feature
→ The uncomfortable truth: CIOs think it's working, but can't measure it yet
→ 3-part call to action for operators who want quick wins

No hype. No vanity. Just what actually breaks in execution — and how to fix it.
