The cultural readiness gap is costing your organization millions, and it’s something nobody sees coming.

Hey there, digital warriors! ⚔️

Over the past weeks with Stephan Donzé and Meir Rabkin — the man who built twelve unicorns in just five years — we’ve heard from both CEO and investor perspectives why technical excellence in software is non‑negotiable. Yet somewhere along the way, the industry traded mastery for mediocrity, ditching upskilling and craftsmanship in the name of “cost reduction.”

But at what cost? 💸

We’ve inherited organizations overflowing with disengaged engineers, exhausted managers, and teams that call themselves “developers”… yet 97% lack the fundamental skills to deliver in production a mission-critical application! And when you pour AI into that mix, the cracks don’t disappear: they explode.

Without craftsmanship and technical excellence, AI doesn’t make you faster. It makes you fail faster and with a bigger crash 💥

That’s where today’s guest steps in. Pier Giorgio Vittori, who is playing David against the Goliaths of the AI industry with Spitch.ai. They are rewriting the AI story around the essentials most corporations forgot:

Customer trust. Employee happiness. Ethical adoption. Continuous Technical excellence.

The truth? AI isn’t failing technically; it’s failing culturally. And Speech AI proves that when you build on ethics, mastery, and empathy, you don’t just compete with giants. You outclass them with humanity and creativity.

Because that’s the real battlefield, isn’t it? Not algorithms. Not GPUs. Not even data. In a world busy fighting in the noise, the war is cultural, between those chasing a magic‑button illusion and those who see AI as a mirror reflecting who they already are.

Every rushed decision, every corner cut in the name of “speed,” comes back amplified by the same tools meant to save them. That’s why the giants stumble under their own weight, and why human-centric companies, grounded in patience, nurturing, and purpose, are quietly winning.
