Inside this guide, you’ll learn:

  • Why “percent of employees using AI” is a misleading vanity metric that creates a false sense of progress.

  • The critical difference between usage volume (prompts typed) and usage depth (workflow embedded).

  • How to shift your AI strategy from chasing adoption breadth to demanding adoption depth for measurable ROI.

  • New ROI-first metrics to track that directly correlate AI usage with cost savings, revenue growth, and risk reduction.

  • Practical strategies for training and nudging teams away from basic features toward complex, high-value AI workflows.

  • How to embed AI into core processes so deeply that it transforms workflows, rather than just assisting them.
