How AI is transforming strategy development:

AI enhances strategy development by strengthening analysis and insight generation while reducing human biases. It assists in assessing market dynamics and sizing potential markets. AI's ability to connect data sets enhances strategists' efforts and can identify potential M&A targets. AI is more thorough and faster than humans, though strategists must pose the right questions to generate distinctive insights. McKinsey estimates a potential for $4.4 trillion in added productivity growth from AI use cases.
