By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Many enterprises are struggling to measure the success of their AI transformations, often mistaking increased activity for genuine progress. A key issue is the shift in measurement units from revenue capacity, as outlined in annual plans, to mere productivity metrics like hours saved or calls logged. This disconnect, highlighted by Gartner and Stanford University research, means that while AI may free up time, organizations are not effectively reinvesting it into high-value activities or revenue generation.

    ​AI GTM Transformation Requires Unlocking Revenue Capacity, Not Just Productivity

    That switch was survivable for a decade because activity and revenue moved in tandem. AI just broke the correlation, and that is why the contradiction suddenly has a price.
