Management 'bought the AI hype' and expect value but research shows lack of organizational readiness is primary hurdle: IFS
LONDON, April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- New research from IFS, the global cloud enterprise software company, has found that executive and board leadership have 'bought the AI hype' but organizations are unable to deliver operationally on expectations. The new global study of 1,700 senior decision makers, Industrial AI: the new frontier for productivity, innovation and competition, found that the promise of AI is being held back by technology, processes and skills. Half of respondents remain optimistic that with the right AI strategy, value can be realized in the next two years, and a quarter believe in the next year.
- The hype has become so high that 82% of senior decision-makers acknowledge that there is significant pressure to adopt AI quickly.
- According to IFS, a robust Industrial AI strategy requires a potent combination of cloud, data, processes, and skills.
- 80% of respondents agree that the lack of a strategic approach means they have insufficient skills in-house to successfully adopt AI.
- AI value simply will not be found in a single AI capability but instead by delivering AI across all products and business processes.
