Enterprises Waste 90% of AI Spend, Protum's Model Ensures ROI Within 60 Days of Adoption

SINGAPORE - Sept. 29, 2025 - PRLog -- Protum (protum.ai) today announced the launch of its AI-First Operating Model, a comprehensive framework designed to help organizations transform their underutilized AI investments into measurable business outcomes within 60 days. The new operating model addresses the growing challenge of enterprises accumulating expensive AI licenses without seeing proportional business value.

Industry research from MIT shows that 95% of AI pilots fail to scale, while organizations continue investing heavily in tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and Google's Gemini. Despite these investments, most companies struggle to integrate AI effectively into their daily operations, creating what experts call the "AI utilization gap."

"Companies are treating AI like a technology buffet, accumulating tools without a clear integration strategy," said Sandeep Joshi, Creator of Protum. "They're paying millions for licenses from OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS, Azure, and GCP, but lacking a structured approach to turn these tools into business value."

Introducing the Protum Operating Model

The Protum AI-First Operating Model provides a structured framework for AI integration that goes beyond traditional consulting or tool-specific training.
Key components of the Protum approach include:

• Business Capability Mapping: Identifying where AI can create the most impact within existing business functions
• Product-Based Approach: Moving from fragmented projects to integrated product teams
• Workflow Integration: Embedding AI tools into daily workflows for seamless adoption
• Quick Win Methodology: Delivering measurable improvements within 60 days

Addressing Real Organizational Challenges

Based on discussions with senior leaders across Financial Services and Energy sectors, Protum's operating model addresses common pain points:

1. Surface-Level Transformations: Many organizations have transformation initiatives that exist primarily on paper
2. Tool Overload: Companies accumulate multiple AI licenses without clear utilization strategies
3. Integration Complexity: AI tools often create more work rather than reducing workload
4. Adoption Resistance: Employees lack structured guidance on how to incorporate AI into their roles

The Protum Difference

Unlike tool vendors who focus on features or consultants who provide strategies without implementation, Protum offers:

• A comprehensive operating model that addresses funding, flow, roles, and measures
• Practical implementation guidance that delivers results within 60 days
• A business capability approach that connects AI to specific business outcomes
• Structured frameworks for sustainable AI adoption at scale

Moving Beyond Agile Fatigue

The Protum Operating Model represents an evolution beyond traditional Agile frameworks. While Agile transformed how teams work, Protum transforms how organizations integrate AI into their operating model. This approach specifically addresses the "transformation fatigue" many organizations experience after years of methodology changes with limited results.
