Create Generative AI Value at Scale
Kevin Schmitt, Gregory Vial, and Ivo Blohm
重要な洞察 Organizations are expanding their GenAI use by implementing coordinated cross-functional structures that draw on domain expertise and user innovation.
主な収穫 Companies that establish a new kind of internal AI organization that researchers have dubbed the “AI spine” are better positioned to expand the scope of use cases, continually improve them, and identify the ones that will improve processes and create real value for the business. The spine model facilitates greater sharing of knowledge and innovative ideas across business units by connecting resources — including users and cross-functional experts — to a flexible technical core. Disciplined project governance keeps resources focused on the areas where generative AI is most likely to have a positive impact.
Scaling AI With Adaptive Governance
Gianvito Lanzolla, Margherita Pagani, and Christopher L. Tucci
重要な洞察 Organizations must implement a new approach to AI governance across a system’s life cycle to manage risks at scale.
主な収穫 As organizations adopt AI systems across business functions, they need to manage increasingly complex risks not only during the development process but also after deployment. Leaders should start by identifying the risks their organization faces and the controls needed to manage them. Then, by adopting adaptive AI governance practices, they can continually realign AI with organizational needs as those systems scale. Organizations that embed risk controls into operations, overcome cross-domain barriers, and institutionalize continuous learning and improvement will have an advantage over those that don’t.
Why AI Isn’t Transforming Finance Yet
Stijn Viaene, Kristof Stouthuysen, and Bjorn Cumps
重要な洞察 CFOs must adapt their leadership approach to balance finance’s traditional role with the use of AI to help shape organizational strategy.
主な収穫 Finance offices have been slow to meaningfully adopt artificial intelligence, often due to a narrow perception of the function’s role as a steward of discipline and consistency. When finance leaders and their teams realize how AI can help them stay alert to changes in the business environment, experiment in the course of their work, think differently about the future, and embed new practices in their everyday processes, they will begin to see opportunities for using AI as a tool that supports broader organizational change.
企業が今すぐ量子コンピューティングを実験すべき理由
Avi Goldfarb and Florenta Teodoridis
重要な洞察 Quantum’s benefits won’t materialize overnight. Companies that start experimenting today can gain a competitive edge.
主な収穫 企業は、量子コンピューティング技術が成熟するまで待って投資すべきではありません。
危機管理スキルをレベルアップする
Rick Aalbers, Killian McCarthy, and Arjan Groen
重要な洞察 Leaders can become more adept at responding to crises by developing stronger skills in seven critical practice areas.
主な収穫 People who have successfully managed crises in governments and large organizations aren’t innately better at it. They’ve learned to apply critical crisis management practices. Interviews with high-level leaders in a variety of industries found that organizations with strong crisis management capabilities have invested time and effort to develop maturity in seven key areas researchers have dubbed the “7C’s”: contingency planning, cross-functional coordination, transparent communication, compassion, confrontation of hard truths, control, and continuity.
データ変換は CEO の仕事です

重要な洞察 Caterpillar’s data overhaul shows the essential transformation work that CEOs and senior leaders must commit to for AI readiness.
主な収穫 A multiyear data transformation project at Caterpillar that made the heavy-equipment manufacturer AI-ready provides an exemplary case for what leadership commitment to such a technology project involves. CEOs must go beyond communicating abstract intentions by setting a tangible, strategic business goal that the transformation will support; giving teams realistic time horizons and adequate resources; and assigning meaningful, instrumental roles to members of the leadership team.
価値ベースの産業用ソリューションを拡張するには何が必要か
Johan Frishammar and Vinit Parida
重要な洞察 Manufacturers can successfully build upon value-based sales pilots by using a framework centered on six core capabilities.
主な収穫 Industrial equipment manufacturers moving to a value-based sales model often find that delivering initial solutions on a one-off basis is relatively straightforward. The real challenge lies in scaling those solutions to more customers, which requires structured, repeatable processes and strong, entrenched capabilities. New research points to two important phases of capability building — scaling prerequisites and scaling execution — and identifies the organizational skills, processes, and relationships that successful companies assemble.
生成 AI で消費者に関する洞察を得る
Neeraj Arora, Ishita Chakraborty, and Yohei Nishimura
重要な洞察 Large language models can transform marketing research by enabling faster concept testing, qualitative research, and data analysis at scale.
主な収穫 Typical marketing research efforts can cost tens of thousands of dollars and take months to complete. LLMs are starting to change the industry by compressing timelines from months to days. How? By enabling the development of synthetic consumer “digital twins” for rapid concept testing, the use of AI-moderated interviews for qualitative research at scale, and the ability to conduct powerful analyses of unstructured data. These LLM-based AI tools allow smaller research teams to conduct larger studies while maintaining quality, thus enabling more frequent testing and experimentation.
リーダーが個人的な障害を乗り越えるための方法
Katherine W. Isaacs and Richard C. Schwartz
重要な洞察 Leaders can overcome conflicting motivators that hinder their effectiveness by applying psychotherapeutic tools while managing others.
主な収穫 Professional growth involves acknowledging and releasing beliefs and behavioral patterns that have been interfering with good decision-making or strong working relationships. A leadership development expert and psychologist explain how simple techniques drawn from the Internal Family Systems psychotherapy approach can help leaders shift persistent attitudes and behaviors through greater self-awareness and cultivate greater compassion, curiosity, clarity, creativity, calmness, confidence, courage, and connectedness.
効率と回復力の間の矛盾を解決する
Vishal Ahuja, Yasin Alan, and Mazhar Arıkan
重要な洞察 Fine-tuned buffers and adjustments to performance metrics can strengthen operational resilience without sacrificing efficiency.
主な収穫 Studies of the airline industry show that achieving resilience doesn’t have to come at the cost of efficiency. Managers in a variety of industries can meet both objectives by ensuring that operational performance metrics reflect true customer priorities; using predictive analytics and data-driven insights to allocate system buffers where they generate the most meaningful resilience benefits; and shaping the options offered to customers to improve the organization’s resilience to disruptions.
