Databricks Data + AI Summit: How Enterprises Can Scale AI Beyond Pilots and Productivity Gains

Most businesses aren't failing at AI because they picked the wrong tool. They're failing because they skipped a step nobody talks about. You bought the software. You paid the subscription. Your tea

Most businesses aren't failing at AI because they picked the wrong tool.

They're failing because they skipped a step nobody talks about.


You bought the software. You paid the subscription. Your team nodded in the meeting and then went back to doing things the old way. Sound familiar? That's not a you problem — that's an industry that sells tools before asking what problem you're actually solving.


Here's what's interesting from the Databricks AI Summit this week. Only about 30% of enterprises are actually getting real results from AI. They call them "reinventors." And the difference isn't budget or tech sophistication.

The difference is they started with one workflow — not their whole business. They found a specific, repetitive task that was slowing them down, tested AI there first, measured it, then expanded.

That's it. No ripping out existing systems. No six-figure consulting engagement. One workflow, one win, one proof point.


Your action this week: Write down the three tasks your team does repeatedly that feel like a waste of smart people's time. That list is your AI starting point — not a vendor's feature sheet.


What's one repeated task in your business you wish someone else could handle? Drop it below.
