· AI Analysis · AIssential

What happened

CGI's 2025 Voice of Our Clients research reveals that 46% of organizations struggle to scale AI projects from proof-of-concept to production despite rising investment. Global AI Research Lead Diane Gutiw identifies three core barriers: legacy systems and data quality, governance, and talent gaps. This indicates that while AI adoption is accelerating, enterprise readiness significantly lags.

Why it matters

Directors of AI/ML evaluating scaling strategies must recognize that foundational investments in data quality, governance, and talent are critical, and should adopt a "governance by design" approach to responsible AI to bridge the gap between AI ambition and enterprise readiness.
