Return on Intelligence: Move AI ROI Beyond Cost to Competitive Advantage

SHRM research shows AI reduces cost-per-hire by 30%, yet organizations fixating on this metric miss 80% of AI’s true value. In this thought-provoking presentation, Paul Carney introduces the “10 Dimensions of Return on Intelligence” framework, revealing how leading organizations move AI from a cost-cutter to an intelligence multiplier. Learn to reframe C-suite conversations from “What will it save?” to “What intelligence will we gain?” Through real-world examples, master metrics that capture AI’s multiplier effects: time transformation, decision quality, innovation velocity, and organizational learning. Discover why the companies winning with AI measure intelligence gained, not just efficiency. Leave with practical frameworks to design 90-day pilots, build compelling business cases, and turn CEO and CFO skepticism into enthusiasm. This is about more than just implementing AI. It’s about multiplying intelligence across your organization to create competitive advantages that compound forever.
