AI Readiness vs. AI Deployment: Why Getting the Order Wrong Costs Millions


Listen Later

Most organizations buy AI and call it a day. But that's exactly where the real work begins.

Darren Prine sits down with Wayne Butterfield, Founder of STX-AI, to unpack why so many AI initiatives fail — not because of the technology, but because of what happens after the purchase.

What you'll learn:

  • Why procurement is the starting line, not the finish line
  • What post-deployment scaffolding actually looks like
  • How to treat AI as a capability, not just a technology
  • Why customer experience design still gets the basics wrong
  • About Wayne Butterfield: Wayne is the Founder of STX-AI. For more than 15 years, he has helped organizations navigate AI, automation, and digital transformation — from early RPA deployments to today's agentic AI capabilities.
