AI: Trillion-$ orphan?

The paradox is stark... AI firms are valued at ~trillion-$.

Yet, every business leader is working to fill the "AI-adoption" gap.

What can you do for adoption of this trillion-$ opportunity at your org? Counterintuitively, it starts by going small, focusing on ~2.5% of users who are named "early adopters" in Moore's tech adoption cycle. An example is the "Beachhead strategy" used for cloud adoption (believe it or not, that was another billion-$ orphan at one time). Cloud can do anything now, but it got adopted in early 2000's by focusing on low cost, reliable & accessible storage.

Here's a 6-point checklist from #MIT (link in first comment):

  1. Is the target customer well funded and are they readily accessible to our sales force? **[ideally coming inbound]

  2. Do they have a compelling reason to buy?

  3. Can we today, with the help of partners, deliver a whole product to fulfill that reason to buy?

  4. Is there no entrenched competition that could prevent us from getting a fair shot at this business?

  5. If we win this segment, can we leverage it to enter additional segments?

  6. Can we show results in a one to two year timeframe? **[with AI, timeframe is weeks / months & not years] ** -> my view for adapting to the AI-era.
