Citi just quietly revealed why most AI projects fail — and it has nothing to do with the technology.
You bought the tool. Your team barely touched it. Now it sits there costing $200 a month while you wonder if you picked wrong. You didn't. The tool probably wasn't the problem.
Citi's wealth management AI rollout succeeded because they did one thing most businesses skip entirely — they fixed their data before deploying the AI. Not glamorous. Not headline-worthy. But it's the difference between a tool that works and one that collects digital dust.
Here's what that means for you practically. AI is only as smart as the information you feed it. If your customer data is scattered across spreadsheets, old CRMs, and someone's inbox — any AI you layer on top will underperform and confuse your team. That's not a tech failure. That's a setup failure.
Before your next AI purchase, do this one thing: spend 30 minutes mapping where your most important business data actually lives. That single exercise will tell you exactly which AI tool to buy — and which ones to ignore.
Clean data first. AI second. In that order.
What's the messiest data problem sitting inside your business right now?
