Let me ask you something.
Your company invested in AI. Maybe you even made some tough workforce decisions based on what AI was supposed to deliver.
Six months later, are the numbers there?
If you are hesitating on that answer, you are not alone. 55% of companies that made AI-attributed cuts in 2025 already regret the decision. 50% are quietly rehiring. And 95% of enterprise AI investments are failing to deliver measurable returns.
The problem is not the technology. It is what was never built underneath it. No governance framework. No SOP modernization. No readiness assessment before the decision was made.
I am calling it the AI Hangover. And this week, I break down exactly what it is, why it happens, and what leaders need to do right now to fix it.
