When it comes to AI, including generative AI (GenAI), companies across all sectors fall into four categories that range from not doing much (25%) to still focusing on proof of concepts (49%) to scaling value (22%) to operating value engines (4%). Companies in the latter two categories—the leaders—are not exclusively digital natives. More than half of the companies in the leader categories are incumbents that have strengthened their capabilities and are using them to drive greater productivity, increased revenue, and even competitive advantage.
