The AI Growth Advantage:
How Growth-Ready Organizations Turn AI into Enterprise Value 

AI investments don’t guarantee growth. But our new research shows growth-ready organizations are significantly ahead in turning new technology into enterprise value. 

The AI Growth Advantage:
How Growth-Ready Organizations Turn AI into Enterprise Value

Based on input from circa 250 leaders across markets and industries, our 2026 Catalysts research looks at how high-growth companies organize around AI, compared to those growing at a moderate and low pace. High-growth organizations approach AI differently.

They are more likely to:

Connect AI to growth and innovation

Embed AI into business strategy and day-to-day operations

Invest broadly in workforce AI and human thinking capability

Create cultures where experimentation and learning are expected

How high-growth companies create clear organizational conditions for AI impact.

Our research points to three key findings about the next phase of AI transformation:

  1. What growth leaders are doing differently. High-growth organizations aren’t simply adopting more AI; they’re embracing and embedding it. 
  2. Organizing for the AI era. Sustained impact requires creating a reinforcing system across strategy, leadership, work, capabilities, governance, and culture. 
  3. Leadership is the AI multiplier. As AI becomes an enterprise-wide mandate, leadership becomes the next constraint.
