An AI pilot should not begin with technology alone. A company should clarify scope, value, data access, governance, internal ownership, timeline, supplier role and post-pilot decision criteria.
Pilot readiness checklist
A pilot should have a defined business question, named owner, available data, security review, supplier boundary, success criteria, timeframe and a decision route after the pilot ends.
Avoiding pilot failure
Many pilots fail because they begin as technology experiments rather than business decisions. Early readiness work helps connect the pilot to operational value, stakeholder ownership and realistic adoption planning.
