Half of CEOs say AI drove their biggest productivity gains this year. Only 16% can clearly see what it returns.
That’s from EY’s October CEO Outlook, a survey of 1,200 large-company CEOs in 21 countries. Almost a quarter say AI gains are often absorbed before they reach the bottom line. EY-Parthenon’s Andrea Guerzoni put it plainly: “productivity alone is not a strategy.”
Faster work is an input. Whether it becomes profit depends on where the freed-up time and capital go next — and that is a strategy call.
Strategist is built to check that call: an independent strategy for any public company, with management’s benchmarked against it and every source shown.
