Frameworks
The five frameworks where AI must create enterprise value.
The EAIL Frameworks organise AI value into five executive questions: strategic direction, operating performance, commercial opportunity, economic conversion and assurance control.
AI should not be assessed only by usage, automation volume or tool adoption. It should be assessed by the kind of enterprise leverage it creates. The five EAIL Frameworks help leaders see whether AI is changing the organisation in ways that matter.
AI Strategic Leverage
AI Strategic Leverage is where AI changes choices, positioning, priorities and executive direction. Key question: Is AI changing strategic choice, or only adding activity beneath the strategy?
AI Operating Leverage
AI Operating Leverage is where AI changes the work of the organisation. Key question: Is AI changing operating performance, or only accelerating tasks?
AI Commercial Leverage
AI Commercial Leverage is where AI changes propositions, channels, customer value, partner models, sales motion and revenue opportunity. Key question: Is AI changing how value is created and sold?
AI Economic Leverage
AI Economic Leverage is where AI changes the economics of the enterprise. Key question: Is AI creating measurable economic value, or only unverified productivity claims?
AI Assurance Leverage
AI Assurance Leverage is where AI becomes governable, evidential and accountable. Key question: Can leaders evidence that AI is being used safely, effectively and accountably?
AI adoption creates value only when it changes the enterprise.
Use the five frameworks to clarify which form of leverage is being pursued and what evidence leaders should require.
