BOSTON, Feb. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite tremendous advances in analytics and AI capabilities, key performance indicators (KPIs) increasingly fail to take advantage of them to deliver the information and insights leaders need to succeed.

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.
