Leading the Human + AI Enterprise: A New Playbook for Strategic Portfolio Management
Most strategies don’t fail. They stall. New research with 308 leaders shows why AI investments aren’t translating into organizational speed: the operating model can’t turn intent into coordinated action. Uncover the new reality for the human + AI enterprise.
Three findings. None of them comfortable. Three reasons your organization can't move fast enough.
Clarity isn't your constraint. Connectivity is.
80% of leaders say their strategy is clear. Only 11% have execution work actually connected to it in a system. The gap isn't communication. It's architecture.
If AI and cloud spend is invisible, your strategy is flying blind.
Only 8% use dynamic, outcome‑based funding. AI and cloud compute are now a major line item — yet largely invisible at the portfolio level, hiding which strategic bets they actually power.
Decisions are slow. Strategy waits.
Fewer than 1 in 3 decide within a week of a performance signal. Nearly two-thirds take a month or more. Mean time to pivot is the gap between signal and action — and where the strategy–execution disconnect shows up first.
