What they're saying:

"Most companies are focused on deploying AI tools. The companies pulling ahead are redesigning how work gets done to take advantage of the unique scale, speed and access to data that AI creates," said Bret Greenstein, Chief AI Officer at West Monroe and a co-author of the report.
"The biggest opportunity with AI isn't raw efficiency. It's acceleration to value," added Erik Brown, a senior partner at the firm. "The companies pulling ahead are using AI to make better decisions, act with speed, measure results and improve."

Zoom in: To help companies gauge their progress, West Monroe introduced its Enterprise AI Transformation Index, a new benchmark designed to measure an organization's capabilities and behaviors on the path to becoming AI-native.

Alongside the report, the firm also launched an "AI Enterprise Strategy Agent" on its WestMonroe.ai platform to help leaders apply the research to their own organizations.

Between the lines: The report and its associated tools serve as a key piece of thought leadership for West Monroe, positioning the firm to capitalize on the demand for strategic advice on AI transformation. By defining the problem and offering a proprietary index to measure it, the firm is creating a framework to engage potential clients on higher-value consulting projects beyond simple tech implementation.
