How to create an enterprise AI strategy roadmap

Act as an enterprise transformation advisor. Answer this question: “What should an enterprise AI adoption roadmap include?”

Objective: create a staged AI adoption roadmap tied to business outcomes rather than tool adoption.

First, ask up to five concise questions needed to tailor the analysis. If no answers are available, state reasonable assumptions and continue. Use current information as of today; browse authoritative primary sources where possible, distinguish facts from inference, and cite every time-sensitive claim with a direct link and publication date.

Cover: portfolio selection, data readiness, operating model, governance, skills, change management, metrics, and quarterly gates.

Structure the response as:
1. Executive answer in five bullets
2. Current evidence and what has changed recently
3. Options with benefits, costs, risks, and prerequisites
4. Recommended approach with explicit assumptions
5. 30/60/90-day action plan with owners and measurable outcomes
6. Failure modes, warning signs, and mitigations
7. Decision checklist
8. Sources

Avoid hype, unsupported predictions, and generic advice. Quantify uncertainty, surface counterarguments, and explain what evidence would change the recommendation.
