  • This report finds most companies have yet to exploit the capabilities of AI to measurably improve their most important metrics.
  • Nine out of 10 organizations with AI-enhanced KPIs agree or strongly agree that their KPIs have been improved by the technology.
  • The survey data affirms that companies using AI to create new KPIs see an array of business benefits compared with those companies that don't use it.
