A recent KPMG report reveals a stark reality.

While 93% of Canadian businesses have embraced AI, a paltry 2% are seeing a tangible ROI.

We’re witnessing an “AI productivity paradox” with widespread adoption without the promised gains.

This isn’t just a missed opportunity.

It’s a threat to Canada’s economic competitiveness.

To break free, Canadian leaders need to shift from experimentation to strategic execution.

Here are three immediate action items:

1. Prioritize AI integration into core operational workflows, not just pilot projects.

2. Establish rigorous ROI metrics & accountability for AI deployments.

3. Invest in talent development to bridge the skills gap and ensure effective AI implementation.

Are you proactively assessing your AI deployments for genuine value creation and taking decisive action, or are you contributing to the growing chorus of “AI adoption without ROI”?
