Is AI an overhyped flop, or is it going to take everyone’s job? 🤖

The reality is somewhere in the middle, acting as a supplement to how we work today. At a recent VP of Operations roundtable, leaders actively testing and scaling AI shared their real-world results.

Here is what top-tier VPs are actually doing in the trenches right now:

❌ They aren’t replacing humans. Leaders are in resounding agreement that AI is an efficiency tool meant to eliminate non-value-added time, freeing teams up for complex problem-solving, relationship building, and proactive planning.

✅ They are slashing training times. By integrating AI support, operations are exploring reducing new hire training and certification from six weeks down to just three days.

✅ They are automating manual QA. Telecom leaders are utilizing AI to near-automatically review and catalog massive volumes of field technician photos for work order closeouts.

✅ They are killing tedious reporting. VPs are actively partnering with AI dev shops, like Imagine Q, to build custom applications that automatically pull tedious weekly reports from ERPs and Excel.

But there is a catch. The biggest hurdle slowing down AI adoption isn’t the technology itself—it is security and data privacy. Operations leaders are highly skeptical about feeding sensitive employee and financial data into public models, fighting internal battles over firewall utilization and bandwidth.

That is why the best leaders are maintaining a “people first” approach, ensuring human experts stay in the loop to write prompts, fact-check outputs, and keep operations running manually during AI failures.

Scaling AI is no longer a futuristic concept—it is a current operational reality. Are you ready to move beyond basic digitization to leverage Artificial Intelligence for continuous improvement?
