01 / Scaling AI

AI initiatives are almost universal. Enterprise-wide maturity is still rare. More experimentation alone won't close the gap.

Selected findings, not an exhaustive maturity breakdown. 98% refers to an initiative underway, not mature deployment. Source: Omdia eBook p. 14.

02 / Fragmentation

More tools. Less connected work?

When employees navigate a fragmented technology estate, the cost shows up in handoffs, workarounds and unreliable context. AI inherits that complexity.

Report the average employee relies on 7+ tools weekly56%

Agree their environment is largely integrated with minimal fragmentation27%

56% is the share of organizations reporting average employee tool use — not the share of employees. These are separate measures. Source: Omdia eBook p. 18.

03 / Proving value

You want proof of value. Can you measure it?

Formal ROI is the preferred measure for many organizations. Far fewer actually use it. That leaves a critical gap between ambition and evidence.
