CEOs Champion Customer-Centered AI Transformation Strategies
A new April 2, 2026 report based on a survey of 1,500 AI decision-makers finds that most enterprises struggle to translate AI experimentation into meaningful business impact, while high-adopting firms excel through customer-led strategies, CEO-driven alignment, platform readiness, and higher 'AIQ'. The report urges CEOs to define an explicit 'AI why' focused on customer value, invest in data and talent, and prioritize customer-facing use cases to accelerate outcomes.
