Summary
Despite over $250 billion in global AI investment, only 25% of enterprises report transformative effects. The article argues that true AI transformation requires moving beyond simply adding AI to existing workflows and instead systematically redesigning operations, roles, and decision-making around AI. It outlines five key strategies for becoming an AI-first enterprise: redesigning workflows, rethinking talent and roles, shifting decision rights, transforming business models, and embedding AI as a strategic lever rather than a tactical add-on.
