Why AI projects fail (and how to make yours work) 

June 2, 2026
By the Blue Print Editorial Team
Artificial intelligence isn’t magic. And it’s definitely not a switch you flip.

In this conversation, John Soderberg, Fastenal's head of IT, breaks down what it really takes to make AI work inside a business, especially in complex environments like supply chain operations.

​Topics include why most AI efforts stall out or fail to deliver ROI, the messy reality of enterprise data (and how to fix it), and why starting small is smarter than trying to do everything.

If you’re thinking about AI (or just struggling to get results) this is a practical, no-hype look at what works.

Learn more about how AI takes real work.
