The eBook offers insights into overcoming the seven most common barriers to enterprise AI adoption:

• Strategic misalignment: Structuring AI initiatives to deliver tangible business value and avoiding “pilot purgatory”
• Data fragmentation: Identifying and resolving fragmented data issues through AI-enabled unification and governance
• Lack of trust: Building confidence in AI outputs, platform integrity, and job security through transparency and responsible use
• Pace of change: Establishing policies that balance rapid innovation with responsible deployment
• Technical challenges: Adapting to probabilistic model behavior, infrastructure demands, and accuracy trade-offs
• AI talent gaps: Addressing the scramble for AI expertise through reskilling and role-specific training
• Change resistance: Enabling organizational readiness by redefining processes, promoting AI champions, and managing transformation holistically

Blend developed the “Critical 7” framework to bridge the gap between AI’s potential and its practical application in business settings. By addressing these seven critical areas, organizations can move beyond isolated AI experiments and achieve enterprise-scale impact.

Oz Dogan, President of Solutions & Service Lines at Blend360, emphasizes the framework’s impact: “In an era where AI has the potential to revolutionize industries, many enterprises find themselves trapped in ‘pilot purgatory,’ unable to transition from experimentation to full-scale implementation. The ‘Critical 7’ framework identifies and provides solutions for the most common barriers to AI success, including strategy misalignment, data fragmentation, talent shortages, and trust issues.”

He continued, “Companies that use the ‘Critical 7’ framework are four-times more likely to get their AI initiatives off the ground. Once they’re up and running, success builds on itself to accelerate AI-driven transformation.”
