AI Budgeting & Post-Implementation Strategy: From Rollout to Real ROI

AI is not a set-it-and-forget-it solution. In this episode, we explore what successful organizations are doing to budget for AI beyond the initial rollout. You’ll learn why treating AI as a tool rather than a headcount replacement leads to better outcomes, and why post-implementation support is critical for long-term success. We also discuss the shift away from open-ended exploratory budgets and the growing demand for measurable outcomes. With real-world examples from complex manufacturing and practical advice on scaling AI across business units, this episode offers a clear approach to driving value through thoughtful investment and ongoing optimization.
