AI Fit Report

Is your organization AI Fit?

The revolution about to be unleashed by scaled investments in AI has been widely discussed and debated. While the pace of change is yet again increasing, we have seen this type of disruption before. It is not unfamiliar. We can all breathe.

What’s important right now is not the hype but the action. The strategies that firms in every sector need to deploy to make AI into a competitive advantage. Our newly published research with leaders all over the world has revealed that most are under-prepared. And while many are experimenting with AI, much of the efforts might be worthy but are failing to yield positive results. Small scale science projects over wholesale change and transformation.

Mixtape Partners is a management consultancy for marketers, built for the AI era.

The central narrative around AI has been about a dramatic technology driven revolution that is likely to be extremely disruptive. But the way leaders in the space see it, becoming AI fit has little to do with the technology.

For them, it’s about scaling AI as a competitive advantage - taking action to unlock new opportunities.

What’s needed is a combination of leadership shifts, clear compelling strategy, a focus on people empowerment over replacement and technology platform-level integration.

Less about having an AI strategy; more about putting AI to work in pursuit of their strategy.

More than just a strategy firm, we turn strategy into action.

We built Mixtape Partners to create inspiring strategies and ensure their adoption. The big problem we recognized as operators, service providers and consultants was that many large strategic initiatives were insufficient and most were poorly adopted.

We are equipped for the challenge now facing us all - how do we adopt new strategic initiatives at scale, like AI, in our organization and drive significant advantage from it?

The Mixtape Partners bring together deep experience and expertise as CMOs, consultants and marketing agency leaders.
