Key insights

By partnering with The Harris Poll to survey 2,000 organizations across the globe, IBM discovered what differentiates AI Leaders (the top 15% of those surveyed) from AI Learners.

Leaders look for the intersection of opportunity, need and internal capabilities to develop an action-oriented roadmap; foster organization-wide alignment through clear and authentic communication; and understand that a strong data foundation delivers the flexibility to customize AI.

AI roadmap

The survey data shows that Leaders build an AI roadmap informed by four dimensions: strategy, toolkits, data management and applications.

Strategy requires vision and investment; toolkits must be supported by a technical staff and flexible infrastructure; data management is grounded in accessibility and governance; and applications should reliably address a broad array of targeted use cases.
