Executive summary

AI is everywhere. But its impact isn’t where most teams expect.

Organizations are under pressure to move faster — faster planning, faster forecasting, faster decision-making. AI promises all of it.

And in many ways, it delivers.

But speed isn’t the same as strategy.

Most teams are using AI to automate tasks, summarize information, and reduce manual work. But when it comes to high-stakes decisions — forecasting revenue, setting quotas, designing compensation — adoption slows.

This is where the gap appears.

The challenge isn’t whether AI is being used.
 It’s whether it’s being used to actually shape performance.

Whats you’ll learn

Inside this report, you’ll uncover:

  • Where AI is already delivering measurable value
  • Why most usage is still limited to low-impact workflows
  • What separates teams using AI for speed vs strategy
  • The barriers preventing deeper adoption
  • What needs to change for AI to influence real decisions

Why this matters

  • AI Adoption ≠ AI Impact Most teams have adopted AI — but primarily for basic tasks, not strategic decisions.
  • Speed Without Strategy Falls Short Faster workflows don’t change how revenue decisions are made — or how performance improves.
  • The Next Advantage Is Intelligence Teams that embed AI into planning and compensation gain visibility, alignment, and adaptability.

AI Is widespread but still underutilized where it matters

  • 81% of sales professionals are already using AI in some part of their workflow
  • Only 28% use AI for forecasting and pipeline decisions — where strategy is defined
  • 62% say AI improves access to data and insights, but not necessarily decisions

AI is improving visibility — but not yet reshaping how revenue decisions are made.
