This post presents the four key metrics to measure software delivery performance.
This guidance paper examines the critical lessons learned from Fortune 500 companies’ GenAI adoption journeys, providing enterprise leaders with a practical framework for successful AI transformation. Drawing from extensive research and interviews across diverse industries—from financial services and software development to retail and manufacturing—the paper identifies six fundamental domains that determine GenAI implementation success: governance, strategic tooling, measurement, financial planning, workforce enablement, and organizational change.
The research reveals that successful GenAI adoption extends far beyond simply purchasing licenses or deploying tools. Instead, it requires a holistic approach that balances innovation with risk management, strategic tool selection with user needs, and technical capabilities with human transformation. Through real-world case studies and proven implementation strategies, this paper transforms industry learning into actionable guidance, helping organizations move beyond experimentation to achieve scalable, sustainable GenAI adoption that delivers measurable business impact.
