Nearly three-fourths or 73 per cent of the companies are prioritising investments in artificial intelligence (AI) over all other digital investments with the immediate focus on improving operational resilience in an unprecedented environment, according to a study by Accenture.
The report, Reinventing Enterprise Operations, found that 90 per cent of business leaders are applying AI to tackle aspects of operational resilience such as finance (89 per cent) and supply chain (88 per cent).
The findings assessed organisations across six measures of operational maturity: AI, data, processes, talent, collaboration, and stakeholder experiences.

With a talent strategy that mirrors data and digital maturity, enterprises achieved nearly three times higher productivity by investing in training and specialised skills.
