Скачать или смотреть [Episode 3] AI Innovation Strategy: Stop Building Faster Horses

Most companies aren’t innovating with AI — they’re just building faster horses.
In this episode of The Practical AI Strategist, we explore one of the biggest traps in modern innovation: using AI to optimize outdated processes instead of reimagining the problem from scratch.
Inspired by the famous (and possibly apocryphal) Henry Ford quote, this episode breaks down why so many teams default to retrofitting AI onto legacy systems, why that approach rarely delivers transformation, and how true innovation requires asking fundamentally better questions.
From BlackBerry vs. the iPhone to today’s agentic workflows built on messy data, we look at how organizations fall into the “faster horses” mindset — and how to escape it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why optimizing the old paradigm is the enemy of real innovation
• How AI can amplify dysfunction if the underlying process is broken
• The difference between retrofitting and reimagining
• Why the iPhone succeeded where BlackBerry failed
• A practical framework for innovating with AI (not just bolting it on)
• How to benchmark AI ideas against simpler, deterministic solutions
• The mindset shift leaders need to build meaningful, future‑proof products

Who this episode is for:
Executives • Product Leaders • Innovators • AI Strategists • Founders • Anyone responsible for building the future, not maintaining the past
