Is your company's AI initiative feeling more like a costly experiment than a game-changing transformation? You're not alone. While 92% of enterprises are investing in AI, a staggering 85% of AI projects fail to deliver on their promises. But why?
The truth is, most organizations are approaching AI implementation backwards. They're buying expensive tools and platforms without first establishing the foundation that makes those investments worthwhile - proper training and education. This gap between AI ambition and AI competency is costing enterprises millions.
Today, we're joined by someone who's been solving this exact problem. Maryrose Lyons is the founder of the AI Institute and a digital marketing veteran with over two decades of experience. Since 1999, she's witnessed every major digital transformation, and now she's helping enterprises bridge the critical AI knowledge gap. With a Master's in Cyberpsychology and professional certification in AI, Maryrose brings a unique perspective on both the technical and human elements of AI adoption. Through the AI Institute, she's helped countless organizations turn their AI investments from money pits into profit centers, with some clients seeing up to 20% increase in performance after proper training.

✨ Training Before Tools - Successful AI implementation starts with education, not software purchases
✨ Cultural Integration Matters - Technical knowledge must be paired with organizational change management
✨ Measurable ROI Focus - Proper AI training directly correlates to improved business performance
