The bagel they save for the regulars. Don't skim, savour.
Summary
Most companies are falling into the "efficiency trap" with AI, using it merely to speed up old processes and cut headcounts rather than pursuing true transformation. According to L.E.K. Consulting data, successful AI execution boosts enterprise value by an average of 19%, while poor AI strategy leads to a 9% valuation erosion. To capture this "AI Delta," leaders must stop "AI washing" and align AI across three strategic levers: performance optimization, competitive differentiation, and business model innovation.
