Enterprise
Select findings from the global 2023 study with 1,000 decision-makers.

Among business leaders, 73% feel pressure


to increase AI and machine learning (ML) adoption.

Three challenges are holding them back.

Ensure AI and ML are built


1 on a high-quality data foundation. How?
• Maximize data usability by operating with structured, clean, coherent data.
• Leverage AI and ML without the burden of managing additional tech stacks or data integrations.
• Overcome significant constraints of legacy systems.

Establish clear use cases


2 and a strategy to move quickly. How?
• Focus on the top leadership concerns: becoming more competitive, improving the employee
experience, and addressing skills gaps.
• Tailor AI and ML deployments to relevant, impactful use cases throughout the organization.
• Humanize AI and ML by keeping the human in the loop and using these technologies to elevate
and cultivate the best talent.

3 Overcome the skills gap. How?


• Lean on experienced partners to address the skills issue—whether that partnership takes place
before, during, or after the deployment.
• Acquire AI and ML solutions that are transparent and reliable—so internal teams can use them with
confidence and achieve high-impact outcomes.
• Empower decision-makers to build a “right way” strategy as opposed to a “right now” strategy—
leading to simpler management and more effective use over time.

The data is everything.


Poor data foundations prevent many companies from leveraging AI and ML.
Organizations need access to high-quality data, as well as to eliminate data
silos and work from a single source of truth.

If you don’t have an AI strategy, people will feel like this is not a company for the
future. I would say that there’s no public company that is not preparing itself to be
asked each quarter what its AI strategy is, even if it’s not its core business.

career paths.

making significant decisions, rather than allowing the technologies to do it alone.

confident" it will be applied ethically within five years.
