PREPARATIONS MUST CATCH UP WITH INTENTION

Two thirds plan to implement autonomous ERP. But a closer look at the figures reveals a gulf between ambition and reality. That gap will be much easier to bridge now rather than later.

YES TO AUTONOMY, BUT LEAVE PEOPLE OUT OF IT

Decision-makers think autonomous AI could handle some business processes from A to Z. But they draw a red line on one category of decision – and it speaks volumes about our attitudes to AI.

WE TRUST AI MORE THAN OUR MANAGERS

The majority of respondents think AI makes better decisions than most managers. Yet AI isn’t infallible, presenting a liability issue that remains largely unresolved. What happens when things go wrong?

LEGAL PROTECTION: A GREY AREA

While most organizations claim they’re ready for autonomous ERP, almost no respondents know exactly how things stand with liability. That contradiction is telling.

OUTSIDE FORCES A DECIDING FACTOR

The things that would reassure organizations the most are out of their control. In addition, almost nobody feels completely ready yet. So, which steps can you take now?
