of enterprise AI programs are not delivering the intended business result
MIT's NANDA initiative finds that roughly ninety-five percent of enterprise generative AI programs have not produced a measurable return for the business sponsoring them.
It is rarely one moment. The vendor updates are still confident, the internal teams are still busy, and the metrics still trend the right way. Yet the questions at the top have quietly changed, and the program is no longer answering them.
MIT's NANDA initiative finds that roughly ninety-five percent of enterprise generative AI programs have not produced a measurable return for the business sponsoring them.
Commonly cited enterprise-program research puts misses at about seven in ten large technology programs, well before AI was added to the budget.
Vendors grade their own work. Internal teams protect their roadmaps. The seat that answers only to the executive, with nothing else to defend, is usually empty.
Chander leads the engagement with Cazton as the expert team.
Cazton works with your existing vendors and internal teams. It does not replace them. It establishes what is real, resets delivery against evidence, and keeps every workstream answerable to executive outcomes.
Fast enough for the board. Concrete enough for delivery teams.
Establish what is real, what is blocked, and what is still assumption.
Align executives, vendors, and internal teams to one evidence-backed plan.
Take over the hardest workstreams while existing teams keep moving.
Document, train, and hand back a healthier program with stronger operators.
Not a status deck. A decision package.
One accountability flow from executive question to recovery decision.
Proof is handled privately, not with public filler.
This page stays disciplined: no invented wins, no generic testimonials, and no public proof blocks until they are cleared for use.
You have read this far because something in the program is not adding up. Before the next board cycle locks the narrative in place, a private review puts what is real, what must change, and the first recovery moves on one page in front of you. The vendors stay. The accountability changes.
72-hour first findings. Available for qualifying programs.

If the program is no longer answering the question the board is actually asking, the cleanest path is rarely a new vendor or a new deck. It is an independent accountability layer sitting inside the work, reporting on evidence rather than on intent.
No independent accountability means executive reporting can stay clean while delivery reality slips.
Existing vendors stay. The accountability layer changes.
Diagnosis, blockers, accountability map, and go/hold/reset options.
Approved case studies and executive references are shared during private review once cleared for use.
Bring the program, vendors, and decision bottlenecks into one room. Chander and Cazton will show what is real and what changes first.
