Description

While expectations for artificial intelligence are sky high across industry and geography, few organizations have mastered integrating the technology into their business processes and offerings, and many who want to don’t fully understand the work that lies ahead. Leading organizations have the opportunity to continue to get smarter, while other companies struggle to catch up, or simply don’t see the need to do so. The implications of this dynamic inform how companies establish competitive advantage and shape value creation in their sectors.

David Kiron shares surprising insights about businesses’ appetite for and approach to AI, drawn from collaborative research conducted by MIT Sloan Management Review and The Boston Consulting Group that surveyed over 2,000 managers in companies around the world.
