# The $1.55 Million Mistake: Why AI Is Failing on Old Processes

 

A special panel discussion featuring guests Stuart Winter-Tear and Ritu Jyoti.

### Watch Now

## What to expect

Listen to our roundtable unpacking The AI Process Gap: research revealing why 72% of organizations have seen AI initiatives fail due to process challenges, at an average cost of $1.55 million each.

The problem: 79% of enterprises are bolting AI onto legacy processes instead of rebuilding them, even though 78% know that won't work. What does work?

Stuart Winter-Tear (Unhyped AI founder), Ritu Jyoti (AI startup CEO; former IDC GVP/GM of AI Research), and Kurt Petersen (Camunda SVP Customer Success) dig into the research, debate what's actually happening, and make the case for **The Great Process Re-Engineering** — the shift enterprises need to make to move AI from pilot purgatory into governed, end-to-end production. 

What you'll learn:

- Why 82% of leaders say their AI investment is at risk without serious process investment
- How legacy processes are driving the governance issues 40% of organizations are already facing
- What separates organizations closing the gap from those falling behind
