  • The AI Value Creation Pyramid: Your Roadmap from Hype to Reality

    The AI Value Creation Pyramid: Your Roadmap from Hype to Reality
    Aug 5 2025

    In our first episode, we cut through the noise of Generative AI. While everyone is talking about the hype, we explore the critical question: How do organizations move from ad-hoc experiments to creating real, tangible value?

    We unpack the essential concept of AI maturity, comparing frameworks from Gartner, Deloitte, and McKinsey. But our main focus is a deep dive into the Generative AI Value Creation Pyramid—a powerful model that provides a clear roadmap for success. We explore its four levels, from individual improvements to visionary innovation, and show how true transformation requires a focus on the human element.

    In this episode, you will learn:

      • The key differences between the major AI maturity models and how to use them.

      • A step-by-step guide through the four levels of the AI Value Creation Pyramid.

      • Why the common phrase "someone using AI will take your job" is misleading and what the real systemic shift is.

      • How a "build to learn" approach can help your teams create transformational prototypes in just half a day.

      • The crucial role of company culture and human skills in driving a successful AI strategy.
