The rise of the AI operating model – Why every business needs an AI Centre of Excellence now.

In a world where isolated pilots no longer cut it, a silent divergence is reshaping industry: companies that operationalise AI at scale are seeing up to 20% EBITDA uplift, while those stuck in "Use Case Theatre" face lack of AI value realisation, fragmented governance, and diminishing industrialisation of AI capability.

The question enterprises are asking today isn’t “How do we use AI?” The question now is “How can we scale AI value faster than our competitors?”

This article reveals the AI Operating Model as the next critical enterprise layer, institutionalised through an AI Centre of Excellence that:

• Aligns AI with business priorities, not just data science and technology agendas
• Drives reuse, speed, and value realisation across every function, at scale
• Embeds governance, compliance, and AI capabilty enablement by design

Just as ERP redefined the back office, AI is now redefining the front office.

AI transformation is no longer a CIO conversation only. It’s a c-suite and board-level imperative. How your business operationalises intelligence will determine whether it leads, or lags in the intelligent economy.

Discover why the AI CoE is no longer optional, but existential.

• The 3-pillard AI Operating Model that’s helping leaders maximise performance
• The “tale of two futures” reshaping enterprise value
• The new KPIs c-suite and boards must own to turn AI into sustainable competitive advantage

Because in tomorrow’s market, businesses that run on AI will outpace those that merely experiment with it.
