We’re excited to share that AI News has spotlighted the ModelOp 2025 AI Governance Benchmark Report in a new article titled “The AI Execution Gap: Why 80% of Projects Don’t Reach Production.” The piece highlights a growing enterprise challenge: organizations are investing heavily in AI but struggling to move from experimentation to execution.
Citing insights from our report, the article emphasizes how a lack of clear ownership and accountability for AI governance is a key driver of stalled initiatives. It notes that, despite increasing pressure from boards, regulators, and customers, only 21% of organizations currently assign responsibility for AI governance to a dedicated executive like a Chief AI Officer or similar role.
“Our 2025 Benchmark Report found that 71% of enterprises still have no formalized governance structure for AI,” said ModelOp CEO Pete Foley. “That’s a major contributor to the AI execution gap. Without ownership, visibility, and accountability, great ideas never make it past the pilot phase.”
The AI News article also explores how forward-thinking enterprises are beginning to close the gap by implementing minimum viable governance—lightweight structures that provide just enough oversight to meet regulatory expectations and scale responsibly.
ModelOp’s software helps companies accelerate their AI journey by operationalizing governance in a way that supports innovation, not stifles it. From inventory management to automated risk scoring, we give organizations the tools they need to govern with confidence.
