The Evolution of AI in Business
Artificial intelligence is transforming the way businesses operate by interpreting data and driving value through improved processes and insights.

Generating Value through AI
AI can deliver value through three pathways: deploying existing AI features, reshaping functions through end-to-end transformations, and inventing entirely new business models. Companies pursuing AI strategies should focus on outcomes at scale, combining technologies for comprehensive solutions, and embracing change management for successful implementations.
Challenges and Pushback in AI Adoption
CEOs and executives are focused on achieving rapid, meaningful outcomes from AI investments. They seek tangible results at scale, integrated AI solutions, and a comprehensive approach to change management.
