Many Dutch firms still treat AI as an IT experiment.
That is risky.

McKinsey reports that over 70 percent of AI failures in 2025 come from weak business ownership, not weak technology [1]. Deloitte confirms that AI value only appears when business leaders take control, not IT teams alone [2].

I see this often in Dutch SMEs.
AI tools are bought. Pilots run. Results stay small.

Why?

Because AI changes how people work, decide, and take responsibility.
That is an organizational issue, not a tech issue.

Recent research confirms this. Studies show that AI success depends on leadership alignment and change management, not model accuracy [3].

If you ignore this:

• AI stays a cost, not value

• Teams lose trust

• Data stays unused

If you act now:

• Faster decisions

• Clear ownership

• Real ROI from AI

At Centralink, we help organizations move AI ownership from IT to the business. Strategy first. People first. Then technology.

If you are leading a team in the Netherlands and feel stuck with AI, let us talk.
