Ten Steps To Embrace AI For Innovation – InBrief Analysis

The self-acceleration of frontier models compresses your innovation cycles. The real transformation is operational, not technical. Organizations are not failing to capture the value of AI because models lack intelligence. Rather, they are constrained by outdated operating models and governance structures. This has big implications for innovation activities, which we discuss in the report “AI Agents Are Accelerating Your Innovation Flywheel”. Most business leaders, meanwhile, remain trapped between the urgency to innovate and the discipline required to make innovation a commercial success. Yet those innovation projects that scale beyond pilots to enterprise scale have disciplined execution in common: the definition of clear customer benefits, business outcomes, transparent data and governance frameworks, supported by a clear idea of how AI supports innovation. This report provides innovation professionals with a ten-step guide on how to deploy AI to convert experimentation into repeatable, enterprise-wide innovation.
