Drawing on insights from hundreds of applicants and in-depth interviews, the report recommends embedding AI as a strategic enterprise-wide capability; amplifying human-AI collaboration through redesigned roles and workflows; strengthening data foundations and strategic data sources to advance AI impact and scale; modernising the technology stack through unified platforms and strategic engineering capabilities; and implementing responsible AI practices by design while calibrating human oversight. It emphasises that organisations that address these multiple dimensions – strategy, workforce, data, technology and governance – can achieve scalable results. Conversely, those focussing narrowly on technology or short-term return on investment will consistently struggle to scale AI.
This report by the World Economic Forum, in collaboration with Accenture, presents MINDS – Meaningful, Intelligent, Novel, Deployable Solutions – alongside a series of insights to guide organisations in their journey towards building resilient strategies for the future and scaling up impactful AI adoption.
