Sustaining AI Program Momentum After Launch
AI programs experience peak executive attention at launch. Within two quarters, attention shifts, metrics plateau, and initiatives drift without sustained governance. Programs that compound value maintain executive discipline across years—not quarters.
Institutionalize portfolio governance
Quarterly portfolio review becomes permanent operating rhythm—not project phase activity. Review includes outcome measurement, initiative retirement decisions, and reallocation based on results.
Continuous improvement discipline
Production AI requires ongoing monitoring, model refresh, workflow optimization, and user feedback integration. Budget and ownership for continuous improvement—not just initial build.
