How can organisations reshape business strategy with AI?

Using AI to enhance business decision-making, process automation and solving practical problems.

AI is ready right now to boost productivity and decision making. Use cases are multiplying, but strategy will determine the long-term winners.

AI can boost the bottom line—starting now

54% of executives say that AI solutions have already increased productivity in their businesses. These leaders are using AI to automate processes too complex for older technologies; to identify trends in historical data; and to provide forward-looking intelligence to strengthen human decisions.

AI is making back office functions, such as tax and finance, do more with less and see into the future. Other AI use cases (PwC has hundreds, in every sector of the economy) include financial planning, medical diagnosis, customised retail offerings, and models of individual customer behaviour. Soon AI will transform transportation, manufacturing, media, and more.

The place to start is with a business problem. AI will likely be part of the solution, whether for strategy setting, customer experience and care, billing, compliance, procurement, and logistics.. Organisations will need measures of ROI that can catch AI’s indirect benefits, such as freeing humans from mundane tasks or improving effectiveness of decisions.

But solving problems is just the start. Long-term success demands an AI-aligned strategy.
