Takeaway

Enterprise AI adoption is real and accelerating, but ROI measurement is the binding constraint and traditional KPIs don't capture it.

Summary

  • Shares enterprise adoption data: KPMG pulse shows in-production agent deployments jumped from 11% (Q1) to 42% (Q3) of $1B+ revenue companies; McKinsey reports only 7% are fully scaled with AI.
  • Average planned AI spend rose from $88M (Q4 prior year) to $130M; 90%+ of orgs intend to increase AI spend over next 12 months.
  • CEO ROI expectations pulled forward: 1–3 year ROI now expected by 67% (up from 20%); but 78% say traditional impact metrics no longer fit.
  • Superintelligent ran an open self-reported ROI study collecting ~3500 use cases from 1000+ organizations across eight impact categories (time savings, increased output, quality, new capabilities, decisions, cost, revenue, risk).
  • Leaders bifurcate from laggards by doing many AI initiatives at once, including revenue and new-product bets — not just time-saving experiments.
