Institutions are increasingly shifting their AI strategy from individual, task-specific applications to a more integrated, ecosystem-wide approach. This involves connecting disparate systems and workflows to create a more cohesive experience, particularly in higher education where AI can provide better guidance by drawing on data from academics, advising, and financial aid. The focus is moving from the number of AI features a vendor offers to how intelligence flows between systems, as the underlying infrastructure and data quality are proving more critical for realizing AI's value than the tools themselves. This trend is supported by research indicating that AI amplifies existing organizational strengths and weaknesses, making robust systems and clear workflows essential for successful AI adoption. AI
IMPACT Focus on systems thinking and integrated infrastructure is crucial for organizations to effectively leverage AI, moving beyond individual tool capabilities.
