With 45% already at the Expert stage (up from 35% in 2022), organizations are increasingly realizing substantial RoI, from cost efficiencies in HR to revenue growth in supply chain and sales. 🎯𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬: Systemic challenges like misaligned business outcomes, data quality issues, and talent shortages remain. Bose emphasizes the need for a “leap strategy” focusing on enterprise-grade AI, robust data discipline, and bridging the tech-domain expertise gap. 🎯𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐀𝐈 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥: A balanced mix of internal & external talent, coupled with strong leadership and AI Centers of Excellence, is essential.
