BMO data. The bigger hurdle is turning early promise into something that operates at genuine enterprise scale.
Moving AI from pilots to enterprise scale Kristin’ s take is that scaling AI beyond isolated pilot projects comes down to discipline around business value. Any initiative needs to be substantial enough to influence operating leverage, the financial measure of how efficiently a company converts revenue growth into profit.
“ The project has to be big enough that it can be measured against your operating leverage, at the end of the day,” says Kristin.“ If what you’ re trying to do with technology is not going to move operating leverage, you’ re not going to be able to scale something meaningful for the organisation.”
At BMO, that metric is closely tied to return on equity( ROE), a measure of how effectively a company generates profit from shareholders’ investment. Working backwards from that figure forces teams to identify the handful of processes that genuinely matter. bmo. com 9
