Why Most AI Projects Fail
AI is everywhere, but results are rare.
- 80% of AI projects fail to deliver on their promises
- 42% of businesses scrapped AI initiatives in 2024, up from 17% in 2023
- Only 1% of businesses are considered AI-mature

The reason? Most businesses are jumping straight into tools and tech, with no real strategy.
DIY platforms and low-code agents promise instant transformation. But without a clear roadmap, AI becomes a costly experiment, not a business advantage. And when anyone can build an agent, the value isn’t in the bot, it’s in the why, where, and how of what comes next.
That’s where Affinity AI comes in.
Here’s how we do it:
1. Discovery & Alignment
3. Team Training & Change Management
2. AI Audit & Roadmap Design
"You don’t need more tech, you need clarity."
We begin with you, not the tool.
We take time to understand your business goals, bottlenecks, workflows, customer touchpoints, and team capabilities.
You’ll leave this phase with a clear sense of:
- Where AI can unlock growth, speed, or cost savings
- What’s worth automating, and what’s not.
- How AI fits into your business model, team, and customer journey
- This isn’t a sales process. It’s a strategic conversation grounded in real-world business.

"Strategy first. Execution second."
We conduct a full AI audit across your operations.
We identify:
- Quick wins for efficiency and productivity
- Medium-term automations that reduce overhead or customer wait time
- Long-term innovations that can redefine your business model
You receive a documented AI Roadmap:
- Prioritised use cases
- Required systems and integrations
- Estimated ROI and effort
- Recommended phases of rollout with Implementation options.
This becomes your AI compass, for now and the future.

"The best AI strategy fails without buy-in and behaviour change."
AI success isn’t technical—it’s cultural.
We deliver:
- Practical, no-fluff team training on typical AI tools.
- Hands-on sessions that connect tools to daily tasks
- Leadership briefings on AI-first thinking
- Change management support to integrate AI into daily operations
- Internal communications templates and innovation channels (e.g. AI champions, feedback loops)
4. Implementation & Integration
3. Team Training & Change Management
"We build what your business actually needs—nothing more."
If you want to move ahead, we support (or fully handle) implementation:
- Smart automation of key workflows
- Agent design for inbound support, lead capture, or internal operations
- Integrations with tools like CRMs, project systems, and email platforms
- Real-time dashboards for performance tracking
Because you already have a roadmap, we’re not guessing, we’re building to plan.

"This isn’t a project. It’s a capability."
AI doesn’t stop evolving, and neither should your business.
We offer:
- Ongoing strategic reviews (quarterly or monthly)
- System tuning and performance checks
- New opportunity discovery as your needs shift
- Support to build your own internal AI capability over time
We’re not here to keep you dependent, we’re here to build your independence.
