Many companies believe scaling AI is all about choosing the right technology.
Dr. Ulrich Faisst believes the bigger challenge is changing how organizations operate.
In this episode of Digital Storm Weekly, we sat down with Dr. Ulrich Faisst, CTO of All for One Group, to discuss why successful AI adoption depends on business strategy, operating models, and leadership rather than technology alone.
One of his strongest messages:
AI is a business transformation, not an IT project.
Drawing on experience leading technology and AI initiatives across All for One Group, and previously at ZEISS, TRUMPF, Cognizant, and Bain, Ulrich shares practical lessons from helping thousands of SAP-centric and industrial businesses navigate AI transformation.
Some key insights from Ulrich:
• AI initiatives should focus on business impact, not endless proof of concepts • Organizations need a clear AI strategy before investing in technology • Data readiness and governance remain essential for long-term success • AI adoption requires leadership, change management, and employee buy-in • Companies should think in scalable operating models instead of isolated projects • The biggest AI opportunities come from transforming end-to-end business processes
If you're leading AI initiatives in an enterprise or industrial organization, this conversation offers practical insights from someone helping businesses move AI from experimentation to real operational value.
