The AI-Fabric™ · Executive summary

Four stages of AI value creation

AI activity is accelerating everywhere, but activity is not enterprise value. The AI-Fabric™ describes how value compounds — from productivity gains to defensible advantage — and the cross-functional operating model that connects strategy, governance, execution and accountability.

  1. 01Efficiency

    Productivity increase

    AI makes existing work faster, more accurate and less costly.

  2. 02Differentiation

    Customer value improvement

    AI improves the experience, relevance and value delivered to customers.

  3. 03Growth

    Value-chain expansion

    AI extends the company's role into adjacent activities, offers and revenue pools.

  4. 04Defensible advantage

    Ecosystem control

    AI strengthens the company's position across the wider market system.
