In our latest research within the Clover Community, digital leaders reveal that 32.4% of organisations have live AI use cases and just 8.1% have AI embedded at scale.

This report is for senior tech leaders who need to move the conversation from experimentation to measurable business value.

What you will learn?

AI is not “just another tool”. It changes how decisions are made, how processes are designed, and how work gets done. This report is designed to help tech leaders shift the conversation from adoption to outcomes.

Inside the report:

  • Why AI impact is still limited at enterprise level, even as board expectations rise
  • Where organisations expect AI to make the biggest impact next
  • The data barrier and why data readiness is the most cited blocker to AI value
  • The growing risks of shadow AI, and what it means for governance and security
  • What it takes to build a new consensus: moving beyond productivity tools into process redesign and measurable business value
