Navigating Resistance to AI

Turning Challenges Into Opportunities

The rise of AI promises transformative potential for businesses, but adopting it successfully requires more than just technology—it requires people. Resistance to AI, or change in general, can hinder even the most promising initiatives. Ingenium Labs specialises in helping organisations navigate this resistance, ensuring that AI rollouts lead to meaningful and sustainable results.

Studies indicate that a significant portion of AI initiatives face challenges in achieving and scaling value. For instance, research by Boston Consulting Group reveals that 74% of companies struggle to realize and expand the benefits of AI adoption. This underscores the importance of addressing human factors, such as employee resistance and the need for comprehensive training, to ensure successful AI integration.

Furthermore, AI adoption rates are not uniform across differently sized firms; the largest and smallest firms tend to adopt AI at higher rates than medium-sized firms. The highest adoption rate was 7.2% for firms with 250 or more employees, while the second-highest adoption rate was 5.5% for firms with one to four employees. Medium-sized firms ranging from 5 to 249 employees had lower adoption rates. This variability highlights the necessity for tailored change management strategies that consider organizational size and culture, ensuring that AI implementations are both effective and sustainable.

The Challenge: AI-Generated Code and Technical Debt

AI-generated code is revolutionising the development process, automating routine tasks and accelerating timelines. But there’s a critical downside: much of this code lacks the structure needed for long-term maintainability. Without applying proper design patterns, principles, and architectural paradigms, businesses risk building systems plagued by unmanageable technical debt.

AI initiatives frequently encounter high failure rates and often do not progress beyond the proof-of-concept stage before they can deliver any value. Gartner finds that 85% of AI projects fail to deliver the desired outcomes and struggle to move from pilot to production.
