To avoid a chaotic, ad hoc and, above all, risky AI implementation, all of your people need to be onboarded to your AI strategy and vetted collection of AI tools. It's also great for your people: Research shows that folks who understand AI are more likely to engage with AI tools and less likely to view AI with fear or mistrust. And given the 82% of leaders planning to expand the capacity of their workforce with digital labor, there's no time like the present.

A new report from IFS - a provider of industrial artificial intelligence (AI) software - said there is an "invisible revolution" in which the focus is shifting from productivity-led AI experimentation to "embedded, operational AI across core business processes." The report, titled "The IFS Invisible Revolution Study 2025," surveyed more than 1,700 senior decisionmakers at industrial enterprises around the world. The report noted what IFS refers to as an "execution gap," in which companies moved into AI faster than their team members can upskill.
