Most organisations are now past the AI pilot phase, yet very few are realising meaningful enterprise scale impact. This video examines why widespread GenAI adoption has not translated into widespread value, despite heavy investment and executive attention.

Drawing on analysis from McKinsey and OpenAI, the discussion explores the emerging $4.4 trillion value gap and explains why the limiting factor is no longer model capability or tooling. Instead, outdated organisational structures, incentives, and operating models are preventing AI from reshaping how work actually gets done.

This deep dive is aimed at senior leaders, transformation teams, and AI practitioners who are responsible for moving beyond experimentation and redesigning the organisation for sustained AI driven productivity.

Practical outcomes and questions answered:

Why most GenAI programmes stall after early pilots
What the $4.4 trillion AI value gap represents in practical terms
Why focusing on efficiency gains alone limits AI impact
Who frontier workers are and why they are pulling ahead
How AI is widening productivity gaps inside organisations
Why organisational design, not technology, is now the main constraint
What leaders must rethink to scale AI across the enterprise

Key concepts covered:

Enterprise GenAI adoption
AI value realisation
Organisational design for AI
Frontier workers
Productivity divergence
Operating model transformation
Scaling AI beyond pilots

Edited transcript notes

The video opens by setting the context for late stage GenAI adoption, highlighting how rapid uptake has not resulted in proportional business impact. Data from McKinsey and OpenAI is used to frame the size of the unrealised opportunity.

The discussion challenges the common focus on efficiency improvements, arguing that this framing understates AI’s potential and leads to incremental change rather than structural transformation. Attention then turns to frontier workers, individuals and teams who are redesigning their work around AI and pulling away from the rest of the organisation.

The session concludes by identifying organisational structure, incentives, and decision rights as the real bottlenecks to scale. Leaders are encouraged to rethink roles, workflows, and accountability if they want AI to deliver sustained enterprise value.
