AI is not just about futuristic tech – it’s about everyday impact. Yet, many mid-sized businesses in South Africa struggle with implementing AI solutions that extend beyond the IT department. The result? Missed opportunities and underutilised potential.

According to Cisco’s 2024 AI Readiness Index, only 18% of South African organizations are fully prepared to deploy and leverage AI technologies. This gap perpetuates a cycle of inefficiency and "busy work" that stifles innovation.
At Scalemind Consulting, we believe that technology should work for you, not against you. Our AI-driven approach helps businesses identify high-impact areas where automation can make the biggest difference – from data consolidation to workflow management.
The Cisco report highlights significant challenges in AI adoption, including infrastructure gaps, talent shortages, and governance weaknesses. Addressing these areas is crucial for businesses aiming to harness AI's full potential.
