Most AI implementations fail because people start with tools (the 10%) instead of culture (70%) and process (20%).

In this episode, I break down the 70/20/10 rule for AI and how to use it to actually implement automation.

In this episode you’ll learn:

What the 70/20/10 rule is (and where it came from)
Why “AI consultants” often teach tools with no purpose
The #1 problem: you can’t automate what doesn’t exist
How to implement AI the right way:
- 70% = culture + buy-in + skills
- 20% = SOPs + workflows + integration
- 10% = models, tools, algorithms, automation build
