Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the way companies approach their strategic decisions. Despite its potential, a global study reveals that only a minority are realizing significant benefits. This phenomenon raises a crucial question: why are the majority not seeing the expected impact? This article analyzes the reasons and reveals the keys to harnessing AI effectively.  

 

Uneven implementation and its consequences  

AI has driven remarkable advances in sectors such as software, telecommunications and fintech, where its integration is successful. However, almost ninety percent of companies do not see clear financial or operational improvements. This disparity highlights the urgent need to rethink business strategies to avoid falling behind the competition.

Key factors for success with AI  

The global report highlights that companies that effectively leverage artificial intelligence share several key elements. These factors enable them not only to integrate AI into their operations, but also to maximize its impact and gain sustainable competitive advantages.

  • Long-term planning and a strong commitment from the leadership, who also use technology on a regular basis in their daily activities.

  • Redesign of internal processes to incorporate artificial intelligence, thus adapting the structure and way of working to new capabilities.

  • Strong focus on training and developing team skills, ensuring that employees are prepared to handle and leverage AI tools.

  • To have a robust technological base and a solid data infrastructure that effectively supports these initiatives, guaranteeing the quality and availability of the necessary information.

  • Integration of these aspects creates an enabling environment for AI to become a strategic tool that brings real value to the company's day-to-day operations.

Strategic areas and data governance  

Today's successful organizations do not simply adopt artificial intelligence (AI), but integrate it deeply into key areas such as research, marketing, production and IT, positioning themselves at the forefront of innovation and competitiveness.

  • Integration in key areas: AI is used to optimize processes in research, enabling advanced data analysis; in marketing, to personalize campaigns; in production, to automate and improve quality; and in IT, to manage infrastructures more efficiently.

  • Data governance strategies: These organizations implement clear policies and robust structures to protect, manage and leverage their data securely and ethically, which is crucial for success in the digital age.

  • Combination of pre-built and customized tools: Leverage both existing commercial solutions and custom developments that are tailored exactly to your specific needs, thus boosting performance and responsiveness.

  • Efficiency and performance improvements: This strategic integration of AI and data governance leads to significant gains in productivity, cost reduction and more informed decision making, consolidating the company's competitive position in the market.

 

Beyond the initial enthusiasm for AI, the key lies in its proper implementation. Only companies that position it at the core of their operating models, backed by clear vision, robust data, skilled talent and active leadership, can transform this technological innovation into tangible and sustained value.
