Current frameworks

Learning VelocityLearning Velocity is the rate at which an organisation turns new information into better decisions, changed behaviour and improved outcomes.
Wide, Not DeepWide, Not Deep describes organisations where AI use is widespread but remains shallow, individual and disconnected from operating systems.
The Three Traps: Efficiency, Pilot, ControlThe Three Traps—Efficiency, Pilot and Control—are recurring patterns that keep AI activity from becoming organisational advantage.
The Efficiency TrapThe Pilot TrapThe Control Trap
AI Is a Human SkillAI capability is not the ability to operate a tool. It is the human ability to frame, question, judge, imagine and learn with machine intelligence.
Mindset → Skillset → ToolsetMindset → Skillset → Toolset is a capability sequence: establish a learning orientation, practise human judgement, then choose technology that serves the work.
Human in the LeadHuman in the Lead means people retain responsibility for direction, judgement and consequences while using AI to expand what they can perceive and create.
Intelligence-Centred EnterpriseAn Intelligence-Centred Enterprise organises work so human and machine intelligence can continuously improve decisions across the whole system.
AI-Native EnterpriseAn AI-Native Enterprise is designed around abundant intelligence rather than adding AI to structures created for scarcity.

Research and evidence

AI adoption and value: synthesis methodologyThe 88% adoption figure and the 5% figure come from separate 2025 studies with different samples and definitions; this is a dated synthesis (updated March 2026). BCG’s 2026 Applied AI Index now classifies 7.5% of companies as future-built and a further 41% as scaling. Alyve compares them as a directional signal of the gap between widespread AI use and uncommon enterprise-scale value—not as one survey, one denominator or a subtraction exercise.The Intelligence-Centred EnterpriseEnterprise AI performance is an operating-model challenge: connect human and machine intelligence through a repeatable learning loop.The Architecture of IntelligenceDecision rights, governance thresholds, capital flows and signal architecture shape AI-era performance.Corporate AI Adoption IntelligenceAlyve’s March 2026 synthesis of mainly 2025 studies found reported adoption widespread while scaled value was uncommon; BCG’s 2026 index shows a larger group now scaling.
