Companies are investing in AI yet struggling to capture the outcomes they expect.
THE AI PRESSURE IS REAL, AND SO IS THE FRUSTRATION:
FALLING BEHIND
My competitors are already using AI, and we’re still setting the groundwork.
OVERWHELMED BY THE SEA OF OPTIONS
We’ve sifted through opportunities but don’t know how make them tangible.
UNDERWHELMED BY ISOLATED GAINS
I’ve had many proofs of concept but few quick-wins.
A SENSE OF CONSTRAINT
My staff wants more autonomy to use AI – but our governance is lacking.
FEELING DISAVANTAGED
Others have big budgets or are digital natives – what can I do with my resources?
WAYS OF WORKING STUCK IN THE PAST
My team uses AI, but in practice they still don’t think AI-first.
AI was supposed to offer quick & easy efficiency and productivity gains
across the organization – why isn’t it working for us?
AI DELIVERS WHEN THE ORGANIZATION IS READY
We help make this happen at all levels: business-first, people-moved, tech-enabled
Integration’s AI Transformation Accelerator is a program that’s business-led, not tech-led. It helps companies outpace deep‑pocketed incumbents and even agile startups – and it starts capturing value now.
Business: the right questions cut through the noise
What can AI do for your business, specifically – instead of what’s possible with AI in general?
-
- AI must be able to deal with the complexity of the business
- AI’s versatility is a strength, but too many priorities turn it into noise
- Scaling from pilot is also organizational – prepare with playbooks, adoption dashboards, partners

business leaders say their organization is
completely ready to successfully adopt AI1
People: AI works through people, not around them
Are your teams involved, supported and empowered to make it work?
-
- People learn by doing, so AI-enabled ways of working must be fostered, not assumed
- Change management starts on day 1 – via resistance heat maps, enablement plans, adoption rhythms
- Involve every level of the organization, with middle management leading concrete change

cite cultural and change management
as principle challenges2
Tech: Get started now, things are constantly changing
Do you have the right basis in place to begin and promote scalability?
-
- Tech should enable clearly defined business needs
- Chasing every new tool will hold you back, so commit to what works and move
- Imperfect data is good enough to start – build from a real as-is data plan
