Perspectives
From the team putting data and AI to work for the world’s leading organisations.
Many of your team members already work faster with AI. Here, we share how to carry that speed through to what your teams deliver, what we learned rebuilding our workflows, and three questions for leadership teams.
The lab incidents are a lesson in control for enterprise AI
As AI systems take on more autonomous work, organisations need to extend the governance disciplines they already use to stay in control. Here, we share what that looks like for the AI that now acts on your behalf.
Ten observations on creating value with AI
Frontier models are becoming table stakes. The durable advantage lies in the context you feed them and the capability and discipline to deploy them. Ten observations, drawn from our recent discussions with the world's leading AI companies in the US, and our own lived experience using AI to transform how Quantium and our clients work.
The cost of AI is a design question, not a budget line
Rising AI bills look like a budget problem, but they are really a design problem. Here, we cover what the organisations getting more from their AI spend are doing differently, and the questions boards should be asking.
Your AI is only as good as what it knows about your organisation
Context is the new competitive edge in enterprise AI. The organisations experiencing measurable impact are not running better models; they are running their AI on richer context. Here, we share what is widening the gap and how to close it.
Five conditions that predict whether your AI agent will reach production
Every major platform now offers production-grade agent capabilities. Yet most enterprise agents stall between proof of concept and production, and the reason is almost never the technology. Here are five conditions that predict whether an agent will reach production, and how to deploy once you've chosen.
Your AI can do more than your organisation knows how to ask for
Enterprise AI capabilities have outpaced enterprise deployment, and the distance is growing every quarter. The industry calls it the "capability overhang". After four days with the leadership teams building frontier AI, here is what we learned about why organisations get stuck and what the ones pulling ahead are doing differently.
Stop building for stability
The organisations driving lasting impact with AI are not the ones who made perfect technology bets. They are the ones who built in a way that lets them adapt. Here, we share where to focus investment and how to build for flexibility.
Augment, automate or agentify? Identifying where AI delivers most impact
Not every AI opportunity calls for the same approach. The organisations seeing measurable impact are matching the right one to the right work. Here, we share the three approaches that make the difference.
What the AI failure headlines aren’t telling you
The gap between AI success and failure isn't about the technology – it's about execution. Three factors consistently separate organisations creating real value from those still searching for it.
AI strategy shifts from models to deployments
The latest research from Menlo Ventures confirms what we're seeing firsthand with clients: companies have moved well beyond testing AI – they're now using it to run their key business operations. Spending on AI services has more than doubled to US$8.4 billion in just six months, with three-quarters of companies now deploying AI systems that directly serve their customers and operations.
Why AI agents will reshape work, and the 5 human skills that matter most
The organisations seeing lasting impact with AI aren't just deploying the technology - they're building the human capabilities that create new value.
