According to BCG's latest research, only 5% of companies are classified as 'future-built,' successfully leveraging AI to achieve significant revenue increases and cost reductions. These firms enjoy five times the revenue growth and three times the cost savings compared to others. In stark contrast, 60% of companies report minimal value from their AI investments. Future-built companies are characterized by their early adoption of AI and their commitment to reinvesting returns into technology and talent. They plan to increase IT spending significantly, particularly on AI, to further enhance their capabilities. The report emphasizes that the playbook for achieving AI maturity is accessible to all companies, encouraging them to adopt strategies that can lead to substantial value creation. As the gap between future-built firms and laggards widens, the urgency for companies to act is underscored.
