Why AI Projects Fail

In a recent interview with industriemagazin.at, Jürgen Schmidt, founder and CEO of STRG.at, discusses the key success factors in digital transformation and the right way to handle AI projects within the enterprise. His conclusion: Digitalization is, and remains, a leadership responsibility. He explains that digital transformation cannot be delegated. Successful companies understand that innovation requires its own structures and room to maneuver, emerging outside traditional day-to-day IT work. In Europe in particular, there is often a lack of willingness to experiment. An open culture around failure is the key to genuine innovation.
