ESG and Disruptive Innovation

Our model analyzes the artificial intelligence strategy and seeks to uncover the sophistication, comprehensiveness, depth, and effectiveness of AI strategy. Our model analyzes how the firm views its competitive position and then takes a dynamic view of AI related competitive dynamics. We explore various strategic paths for a firm in an artificial intelligence centric economy and determine the competitive response potential of the firm. We use our own proprietary models and map dominant strategic preferences of companies and their transformation paths considering changes in the underlying assumptions.

We analyze the executive leadership teams of firms to measure their state of awareness about artificial intelligence and about the disruptive impact of AI in the competitive dynamics of their company. A firm with more aware management team is more likely to undertake and pursue disruptive innovation. 

From customer service robots to smart analytics, artificial intelligence is having a powerful impact on Marketing. We measure how firms design and deploy marketing strategies that leverage and incorporate artificial intelligence. We learn the dynamic impact of using artificial intelligence in customer management, service management, and marketing analysis. Our analysis demonstrate the ability of a firm to bring innovative disruption to market. 

We study how firms use artificial intelligence to improve their financial performance. Broad areas are covered and specific examples are provided for financial innovation using artificial intelligence. Based upon the insights we measure how a firm will perform in the AI economy. 

We analyze the impact of artificial intelligence on the supply chains of firms. AI is transforming  supply chain, logistics, and procurement. We calibrate a firm’s performance in accordance with its use of AI in its production, distribution, and product. Furthermore, we understand the impact of decoupling of supply chains due to geopolitical concerns. We also measure risk management in supply chain, supplier relationship management, and procurement. 

We measure the relationship between a firm’s performance and its audit and governance with artificial intelligence. Disruptive innovation can increase the audit risk in a firm. We estimate and study how a firm responds to audit challenges. We use a comprehensive method to evaluate AI in preaudit planning, inherent risk and internal control evaluation, audit procedures, audit reporting, forensic accounting, and assurance. 

Artificial intelligence is redefining the role and strategic participation of HR departments. We measure how organizations apply artificial intelligence to enhance employee relations, skill matching, retention, onboarding, screening, interviewing, compliance and case management. We estimate how a firm uses artificial intelligence technology to improve the employee morale and satisfaction. A firm that fails to build long term talent for AI will likely not perform in the AI economy. 

We analyze and estimate the effectiveness of a firm’s CSR program, its ethics, governance, and social responsibility.  We measure how a firm approaches its materiality assessment, develops CSR strategies, and structures its CSR programs. 

We analyze and monitor operating and financial environment of a firm for risks. Our analysis are designed to measure and report dynamically on risks.
