Cendyn resets hospitality commitment with leadership reorientation

Most AI tools fail businesses not because the tech is bad — but because nobody changed the strategy first.

You've probably been there. You bought the tool, paid the subscription, and three months later your team is still doing things the old way. $200/month quietly disappearing. Not because you made a dumb decision — because nobody told you which problem the tool was actually supposed to solve.

Here's what caught my attention this week.

Cendyn, a major hospitality technology company, just brought in new leadership specifically to refocus their AI around one thing: direct bookings. Not AI everywhere. Not AI for AI's sake. One clear business outcome with a measurable result.

That's the model most business owners never get shown. The companies winning with AI right now aren't the ones using the most tools. They're the ones who picked one revenue problem, matched one solution to it, and measured the outcome within 30 days.

That's where your first win lives too.

Start there. Pick your single most expensive manual problem. Not the flashiest one — the costliest one. That's your first AI target.

What was your experience with AI tools so far — did anyone actually help you identify the right problem first, or did they just sell you the software?
