Artificial intelligence is often hailed as a game changer, but too many firms discover that their bold AI pilots collapse when their operating models can’t support them. In this article the authors argue that AI success depends less on the algorithms than on the fit between a company’s ambitions and its organizational reality. Drawing on research and using company examples across industries, they introduce a framework built on two dimensions—value-chain control (the degree of influence a company has over the journey from idea to market) and technological breadth (the range and interdependence of the technologies a company must integrate to compete). They examine the four resulting strategies companies can use to turn AI’s potential into performance: focused differentiation, vertical integration, collaborative ecosystem, and platform leadership. ...Less
