THE “PILOT PURGATORY” TRAP

A pilot dazzles leadership. Early metrics look good. Then… it stalls. Months pass. Teams shrink. That breakthrough quietly dies.
It’s not a tech problem. It’s a design problem.

Industrial R&D stalls when:
• Users aren’t involved early
• Workflows are idealized, not real
• Adoption is assumed, not designed
• Scaling is treated as “just” a technical issue

The fix? Design for scale from day one:
1. Assess readiness—technical, operational, human
2. Build adoption into workflows, interfaces, and trust
3. Align IT, operations, R&D, and business before scaling
4. Create operational processes that sustain growth

R&D doesn’t fail because the idea isn’t good.
It fails when it isn’t ready to scale.

Start with an R&D Readiness Assessment before your next pilot.
