The companies winning AI awards right now aren't the ones who bought the most tools.
They're the ones who picked one problem and solved it completely.
You're not behind because you haven't adopted AI. You're behind because nobody gave you a clear framework for where to start. That "AI tool nobody uses" isn't a failure of your team — it's a failure of how it was sold to you.
The Hackett Group just recognized their 2026 Innovation Award winners. What stood out wasn't scale or spend. It was ROI-first thinking. Every winning implementation started with a measurable business problem, not a technology budget.
That's the shift most consultants skip. They lead with the tool. Winners lead with the outcome.
Here's the practical takeaway: Before you evaluate any AI solution, write down one sentence — "If AI could fix one thing in my business this quarter, it would be..." That single sentence becomes your filter. Every vendor pitch either solves that or it doesn't.
No coding. No system overhaul. No six-month rollout.
Just clarity on what problem actually costs you the most right now.
What's the one business problem you keep hoping someone will finally build an AI solution for?
