A Gartner survey of corporate strategists reveals that 79% see technologies such as analytics, artificial intelligence (AI) and automation as critical to their success over the next two years.

Strategists said that, on average, 50% of strategic planning and execution activities could be partially or fully automated; currently only 15% are.

David Akers

“Leveraging analytics and AI for more efficient, insightful strategy decisions is one of the biggest challenges and opportunities, corporate strategists face this year,” said David Akers, a research director at Gartner. “For years, strategists have told their businesses: If you want to stay competitive and effective, you need to go digital. Now, they appear ready to apply that guidance to their own workflows.”

While most corporate strategists said that they are using descriptive and diagnostic analytics, less than half said they are using more advanced tools such as predictive, prescriptive or graph analytics (see Figure 1).

Similarly, only 20% of strategists reported using AI-related tools, such as machine learning or natural language processing, for their function. However, a large percentage of strategy leaders said they are either piloting these tools or exploring use options. For example, 51% said they are investigating machine learning and 45% said the same for predictive analytics.

Build a use case strategy

One of the biggest obstacles to implementation is establishing a clear use case for new technologies. Fifty-two per cent of strategists report that this is a top-three challenge — the most selected response.

“There are several reasons for this,” said Akers. “Strategists face an unfamiliar vendor market, have too many options to choose from and have little precedent to build upon.”

Much of the advanced technology that strategists said they are aiming to implement is already being used successfully elsewhere.

To build a strong business case, Gartner recommends first mapping existing functionality to specific needs, then considering how to prioritize the different use cases that advanced technology could offer by asking questions about the purpose, impact and suitability of the new tools.
