Is Al Actively Transforming Your Organization?
No, Al is not actively transforming organizations like yours. Not yet at least. Over the past year employees, executives, and stakeholders alike have all felt the pressure to leverage Al in pursuit of efficiency and innovation. Yet as we round out this first calendar quarter, businesses are still not doing well with this new technology at all. In our opinion, this presents a huge opportunity to those willing to seize it.
The Underwhelming Reality of Al Adoption
If you’ve been stressed about trailing behind your peers with Al adoption, take a breath- you’re likely overestimating their progress. It’s true that 88% of organizations are, at minimum, experimenting with Al in some part of their business. It’s also true that 81% have no ROI to report at this stage. It follows that:
- 94% of C-suite executives are not satisfied with their current Al solution
- Only 1% would be comfortable characterizing their Al adoption as “mature.”
More often than not, using Al in the workplace does not equate to using Al well. This is how a methodical and results-oriented implementation can still manage to propel you to the head of the pack.
Breaking Barriers, Building Momentum
In McKinsey’s 2026 State of Organizations report, 40% of respondents cite organizational change management as a top barrier to Al adoption. When asked to select top factors that enable Al adoption, respondents chose byproducts of effective change management:
- Ease of use of new technology
- Leadership championing adoption
- Dedicated team to drive Al adoption
- Link to business impact
- Role-based capability training courses
- Clear ethical and compliance guidelines
- Communications plan
- Portfolio of example use cases
