Cutting Through the AI Hype (and Cynicism): How to Assess the Real Value of GenAI

Most GenAI projects fail for the same four reasons: fuzzy objectives, misaligned stakeholders, scattered methods, and KPIs that don’t mean much to Finance.

We’ll unpack how to fix each one, starting with how to fine-tune your project so it ties directly to business outcomes, not buzzwords.

Collin will share highlights from Tamarack’s Business Impact Analysis™ of Ardoise where payback lands in under six months, and reveal the patterns that separate stalled pilots from scalable wins.

You’ll leave knowing how to build a credible business case, involve IT and AI governance early, and design pilots that both L&D and Finance can stand behind.

• L&D, HR, and Enablement leaders exploring GenAI pilots

• Finance or IT partners evaluating AI investments

• Transformation teams building measurable business cases

AI promised to transform learning and work. Instead, most pilots stall—too vague, too complex, or too disconnected from business impact. At the same time, the pendulum has swung: hype has given way to cynicism.

So how do you separate what’s real from what’s noise?

In this 45-minute webinar, Annee Bayeux (Co-CEO of Ardoise) and Collin Poage (Partner at Tamarack Growth Consulting) cut through the AI noise to show what measurable success actually looks like. You’ll learn how leading organizations frame objectives, secure stakeholder buy-in, choose a sound pilot approach, and track KPIs that prove value fast.
