Unlock AI’s True Value: From Hype to High Returns

From Potential to Profit: The AI Journey for Corporate Leaders: AI is like a treasure chest—it holds immense value, but only those with the right key can unlock it... This signals a wake-up call for CEOs: while AI holds immense promise, the challenge lies in execution. Leaders must focus on creating frameworks that enable AI to deliver measurable returns, ensuring investments are not just ambitious but impactful. Two years after its debut, AI remains a top priority for 75% of executives. But the BCG AI Radar report highlights a critical gap: only 25% have tapped into significant returns. As leaders converge at Davos, the mission is clear—transform AI's potential into measurable profit... New York Business Leadership Center and Hillier Consulting deliver powerful insights into this news, offering actionable guidance for today’s CEOs.

For CEOs, this marks a shift from seeing AI as a futuristic trend to treating it as a critical operational tool. The challenge lies in narrowing down focus areas, aligning AI initiatives with strategic priorities, and ensuring measurable returns. Leaders must foster a culture of agility, upskilling, and disciplined execution to unlock AI’s true potential.

Generative AI is no longer just a buzzword—it’s a business imperative. CEOs who focus on scaling the right initiatives, transforming processes, and building their teams will be the ones driving AI’s true impact in the marketplace. Are you ready to close the gap?

From The BCG: The accompanying slideshow lays out the findings and insights of this survey in greater detail—especially the emergence of an impact gap between aspirations and outcomes.

Key findings include:

Most companies aim too low, prioritizing smaller-scale, productivity-focused initiatives. Leading companies allocate more than 80% of their AI investments to reshaping key functions and inventing new offerings.

Companies are diluting their efforts by placing too many AI bets. Leading companies focus on depth over breadth, prioritizing an average of 3.5 use cases, compared with 6.1 for other companies. The leaders anticipate generating 2.1 times greater ROI on their AI initiatives than their peers.

Too few employees have been trained on AI. Less than one-third of companies have upskilled one-quarter of their workforce to use AI. That’s better than a year ago, but far from where companies need to be for workers to feel comfortable with such a job-threatening technology.

Top organizations understand that technology is only part of the equation. The 10-20-70 principle proves that people, culture, and process transformation are the real drivers of AI success. Are you ready to lead your team into the future, where humans and AI work seamlessly together?

Empowering People: The Key to AI’s Full Potential

AI is a high-performance engine, but it needs human workers as the fuel to run smoothly.  Hillier Consulting 

Workers are not just a part of the equation—they’re the foundation of AI success. Companies that maintain and empower their workforce are setting the stage for AI to truly thrive. Without people, AI is just potential waiting to be realized.

In the article, BCG lists its recommendations to CEOs as follows:

Focus, focus, focus. To unlock AI’s potential, CEOs must take a purposeful, hands-on approach by:

Breaking through the imagination gap. Rethink ways of working and organizational and operating models.
Targeting and prioritizing AI efforts. Focus on a few strategic opportunities while also encouraging bottom-up, exploratory efforts.
Putting AI at the service of enterprise ambition. Manage AI like a transformation, with clear outcomes and rigorous value tracking.
Driving the cultural and organizational change. Reimagine workflows, upskill teams, and foster a culture of AI innovation.
Preparing for what’s next​. Anticipate AI’s next value play and accompanying risks.

For CEOs, this highlights the urgency of turning AI investments into tangible outcomes. It underscores the need for disciplined strategies, a focus on measurable value creation, and a workforce equipped to embrace and adapt to AI-driven change.

In 2025, AI stands as a powerful engine of transformation—but only if businesses approach it with precision. CEOs must align their strategies, equip their teams, and focus on delivering real-world value to bridge the gap between ambition and achievement.
