Chart your own path to
value from AI

As we reach the crest of the second wave of Artificial Intelligence (AI), organisations are still struggling to generate the value promised by the hype and hyperbole. We wanted to find out why, so we spoke to over 400 senior leaders from a range of industries. The vast majority recognise the commercial potential of AI-fueled innovation, but just 7% believe their organisations are ready to take advantage of the opportunity. This reveals a disconnect between an external environment full of opportunity and competitive threat and the internal readiness to meet it.

In this report, we address barriers to AI adoption raised by business leaders, providing practical, human-scale answers to the big questions. We also explore what it takes to truly excel in the age of AI, bringing to life lessons learnt from decades of supporting leaders through technology-driven transformation.

• Identify the right opportunities for you: AI is not a silver bullet; take a structured approach to ideating and evaluating opportunities
• Remove the roadblocks to scaling AI: From cultural resistance to data fragmentation, tackle the barriers that define AI success – and failure.
• Move from strategy to reality: Evaluate the external landscape and translate this into a plan that outlines what your organisation needs to do from a cultural, technical and operational perspective.

Take Your Next Step Towards Real World Value

The myriad possible paths to successful AI adoption can seem overwhelming, but it’s a journey that every leader must embark on to unlock the transformative power of AI. Whether you’re just beginning or scaling up, each step brings its own opportunities.  Depending on where you are in your journey, we suggest one of the following next steps:

• Ideate: Bring together an all-star cast from Strategy to Operations, Data Analytics to Customer Relations, and use the AI innovation matrix to identify high-value opportunities to explore or exploit, and drive collaboration in your organisation.
• Scale: Start building the workforce of tomorrow with an honest assessment of your current workforce, mapping maturity of existing skills and capabilities against in-demand future skills to stay competitive in the age of AI.
• Embed: Set personal objectives for how you plan to create a culture of experimentation and a learning mindset. Share them with your team to foster transparency and accountability.
