In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, artificial intelligence (AI) looms large as both a formidable challenge and an unparalleled opportunity. It embodies the promise to revolutionize industries, processes, and competitive dynamics. For members of the C-Suite and boards of directors, understanding the scope of AI’s potential impact isn’t optional—it’s imperative. And we’re not just talking about technology companies.  AI has changed the way that people and computers interact, so in some ways the less technology a company has or uses the more impact AI can have. 

The question is no longer if AI will change the game, but how it will rewrite the rules for your business and the industries in which you operate. 

AI as a Disruptive Threat Across Industries 

From retail to healthcare, financial services to logistics, AI is shaking up the foundational principles of entire sectors. Think of it as the industrial revolution of the 21st century, but fueled by the “steroids” of the revolutions before it – the internet in particular. The automation, precision, and speed enabled by AI approaches means companies must rethink (or at least deeply contemplate) their core competencies. Industry leaders, laggards, and disruptors alike will find themselves staring at an AI-driven reorganization of the market. 

Opening New Doors for Core Business Operations 

One of the most exciting opportunities that AI offers is the ability to reimagine how you conduct business at its fundamental level. For decades, many industries have built their success around efficiency, scale, and optimizing for today’s constraints. But AI invites you to tear up the rulebooks, playbooks and maybe even whatever book has your mission and vision statements in it. 

If you’re a software company, you’re likely already realizing that the speed at which you can create, modify, and deploy software has accelerated drastically. Imagine your developers spending less time patching or debugging and more time innovating, delivering market-ready solutions 10x faster than before. 

And if you’re not a software company, let’s face the sobering reality—one may very well disrupt what you’re doing. Companies you didn't see as competitors (or perhaps even see at all) could leverage AI and emergent technologies to encroach on your market share faster than you think.

Could your industry be next? Remember, though: you aren’t just a spectator. You can take charge, become a disruptor yourself, and outpace those looking to eat your lunch.  You could eat your own lunch. 

Beyond the Core: Improving Non-Core Business Functions 

The magic of AI doesn’t stop at core operations, disruption and lunch. Non-core functions—those vital, behind-the-scenes areas that keep businesses running—are equally ripe for transformation with AI. 

Imagine customer support chatbots trained to handle 90% of routine interactions, drastically cutting costs while increasing customer satisfaction. Or consider AI-driven tools that analyze financial data to identify inefficiencies and recommend cost-saving initiatives. Supply chain operations, human resources, marketing, and compliance can all benefit from a data-driven, AI-enabled upgrade that optimizes performance while directly contributing to the bottom line. 

These savings and efficiencies aren’t just short-term blessings—they free up capital to reinvest into your core initiatives, fueling innovation and ensuring sustained growth. AI, when deployed wisely, becomes a force multiplier. 

And they can be invaluable base camps on your overall AI journey, allowing your team to build skills and experience working with AI that could be applied to core use cases as well. 

The Value of Disrupting Yourself 

One of the hardest, yet most rewarding, challenges the C-Suite faces is the ability to preemptively disrupt one’s own business model. But don't just fear the disruption—wield it. 

A thought exercise: what would your business look like if you started it today with an AI-first mindset? Would your customer acquisition strategy change? Could you automate a historically complex task? Could you introduce a new product or service that didn’t exist in your portfolio simply because you lacked the speed, scale, or technological capacity before? 

Moreover, running proof of concept or perhaps even skunkworks type iunitiatives allows your organization to “fail fast” and identify internal disruptors capable of acting as a catalyst for long-term transformation. Don’t just protect your castle—build a better one.
