The Dunning–Kruger Effect of AI Adoption
Confidence in AI often outpaces competence. While 61% of leaders believe AI is fully implemented, only 36% of employees agree. The Dunning-Kruger Effect reveals the gap: enthusiasm from experimenting with ChatGPT isn’t the same as building enterprise AI capability.

Unlocking SAP Data for AI
SAP Data is Rich but Difficult to Access for AI Use Cases SAP holds decades of business truth, but when AI teams try to reach it, they run into locked doors, long waits, and dead ends. Most enterprises already sit on a treasure trove of structured business data — transactions, financial records, supply chain events, […]
Building the Bridge Between SAP & AI
Enterprises often face the same frustration: AI pilots never seem to graduate beyond experiments, while SAP systems keep running flawlessly in the background. The result?
