Reposting my interview with Value Creation for Private Equity, because one paragraph in it is the whole argument and most people skim past it.
The value creation opportunity with AI is not only in redesigning workflows. It is in automating the complex decisions inside them.
Here is what that actually means.
A workflow is only the scaffolding built around a decision. The enquiry is read so a price can be set. The data is gathered so a claim can be approved. Redesign the scaffolding and you get a tidier process. Automate the decision itself and the economics move.
So this is not a tooling exercise. It requires a new approach and a new mindset. It requires investment, and it requires patience, and organisational change.
Now look at what you get back.
Speed to market and productivity. You decouple your cost base from your revenue, so growth stops dragging cost up with it. You build competitive advantages that compound.
New paradigm = new approach.
