Beyond the Hype: A Pragmatic Blueprint for Generative AI — From First Steps to ROI

Your competitors are already running AI. Most of them are doing it wrong. The webinar that shows business leaders exactly where AI delivers ROI — and where it quietly kills it.

WATCH THE RECORDING NOW

The AI reality gap:

89% of small and medium businesses now use AI. Only 6% generate meaningful returns from it. The gap isn't technology. It's strategy, sequencing, and a realistic view of what AI can actually do for a business your size, with your team, and your budget.

This 60-minute session with Boris Lentini — Sr. Director and Head of AI Practice at Grid Dynamics — cuts through the noise with a practitioner's blueprint.

Proven in practice:

  • 1,200+ business leaders enrolled
  • Real implementations. Measurable outcomes
  • Built for SMBs

Inside the recording

Gen AI: Hype vs. Reality

The real AI adoption numbers for SMBs in 2025 — including why 70–85% of AI projects still fail and what separates the 6% that see returns within 12 months. You'll leave knowing which AI claims to believe and which to ignore.

A prioritization framework that works at your scale

A practical method for ranking AI use cases by business value and implementation feasibility. Designed for lean teams without dedicated ML engineers.

The foundational platform principle

Why the first AI solution you build should make every subsequent one cheaper and faster. How a fintech company went from zero to 5 production AI agents in 12 months.

The pitfalls that derail SMB AI projects

Misaligned expectations, poor use case selection, data quality gaps, change management failures. A frank review of what actually kills AI pilots before they reach production.
