Enterprise AI is no longer stuck in the pilot phase. The 2025 AI Adoption Report from Wharton Human-AI Research and GBK Collective makes it clear: for many organizations, AI is already delivering real business value.

🔹 74% of enterprises are seeing positive ROI, especially in productivity, speed, and quality
🔹 82% of leaders use GenAI at least weekly, nearly half use it daily
🔹 70% have opened access to GenAI tools for all employees

It’s a milestone worth noting. GenAI has officially entered the operational mainstream.

But the same report also highlights a quieter, more challenging reality: most companies still aren’t fully prepared to scale AI effectively. Budgets are rising, but confidence in workforce training is falling. Leaders want impact, but they’re still struggling with how to align people, process, and tools.

The Readiness Gap Is Real

According to the report, while enterprise AI adoption is accelerating:

  • Training budgets are shrinking (-8pp YoY)
  • Confidence in upskilling programs is falling (-14pp YoY)
  • Hiring advanced GenAI talent remains a top challenge (49%)
  • Morale and role clarity are still major roadblocks

This misalignment between technology deployment and organizational readiness slows down ROI, even for companies that have already made big investments.

What Practical AI Enablement Looks Like

At Evaila, we work with companies that are ready to move from pilot programs to practical, scaled impact. The key isn’t more experimentation, it’s structured enablement that meets your team where they are.

Here’s how we help:

1. Start with the work your people already do.
We identify high-impact use cases inside your value chain, not just trendy demos.

2. Build a rollout plan your team can actually follow.
We assess data, tools, and team readiness, and create a sequenced roadmap to scale responsibly.

3. Train for real-world usage, not abstract theory.
Our training is hands-on and role-specific, designed to build confidence and reduce risk across the workforce.

4. Align governance with empowerment.
We help you create policies and guardrails that enable innovation without losing control.

The Bottom Line

AI is already reshaping how work gets done. But lasting value comes from more than access to tools—it comes from teams that are ready to use them well.

It’s not about chasing the next big thing. It’s about making your people ready to win with AI.
