Summary
Asian companies are increasingly adopting AI, but the next phase of enterprise AI will require more than just deploying powerful models. According to McKinsey, companies that achieve the strongest bottom-line impact are redesigning workflows, governance, and decision-making around AI. In Asia, businesses are under pressure to do more with tighter margins and less tolerance for delay, making AI an operating necessity. The first wave of enterprise AI has focused on assistance, but the second stage, automation, will alter the economics of how work gets done.
Our Reading
The numbers tell one story.
Asian companies are treating AI as a tool to bolt onto old ways of working, but the next phase of enterprise AI will require redesigning workflows, governance, and decision-making around it. McKinsey’s survey argues that companies with the strongest bottom-line impact are not just deploying more AI, but integrating it into their processes. Oracle’s pilot with SMRT in Singapore is a strong example of AI in action, creating value by solving real-world challenges. The question is whether organizations are prepared to redesign work so AI can deliver value.
The next competitive divide will be between companies that integrated AI into their workflows and those that kept it at the edges.
