Exclusive Interview: "Innovate or Evaporate" — Why the AI Productivity Gap is the Biggest ...

You bought the AI tool. Nobody used it. $200/month quietly cancelled three months later.

That's not a you problem. That's a rollout problem.


Business Insider just ran a piece flagging the AI productivity gap as the single biggest threat facing small and mid-sized businesses right now. The companies pulling ahead aren't buying more tools — they're making one tool actually stick.

Here's the uncomfortable truth the gurus skip: most AI failures aren't about picking the wrong software. They're about dropping a tool into a team with no clear use case, no owner, and no simple win to point to in week one.

The businesses closing that gap are starting absurdly small. One repetitive task. One person responsible. One measurable outcome in 30 days.


This week, pick the one thing someone on your team does manually that follows the exact same steps every time. Customer follow-up emails. Meeting summaries. Quote templates. That's your starting point. Not a platform overhaul — just that one thing.

One real win beats ten shiny tools nobody touches.


What's the most recent AI tool your business paid for that quietly stopped being used — and what got in the way?
