I've worked at a number of non-tech companies the past few years. They bought every SaaS product, Palantir, Databricks, multi-cloud, their dev teams adopted every pattern popularized by big tech and the results were always mixed. Any gains were wiped out by being buried under technical debt. They had all the data catalogs & 'ontologies' with none of the governance to go make it work. Turns out that benefiting from all this tech requires you to re-organize and change your culture. For a lot of companies, they're just not going to see big gains from AI or tech in general at this point.
