How AI investments are driving ROI

Weekly Newsletter: March 12, 2025

Companies are increasingly leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance their operations and achieve significant Return on Investment (ROI). For instance, Manulife has rolled out GenAI capabilities to its entire workforce, leading to a projected threefold ROI by 2027 through increased efficiency and innovation across its operations. By embedding AI in various functions, including customer interactions and strategic decision-making, Manulife is enhancing its service quality and operational speed, contributing to revenue growth (Insurance Innovation Reporter, Anthony O'Donnell, 3/7).

Similarly, Instacart has integrated AI to improve product replacements and personalize customer experiences, achieving a 95% satisfaction rate with 300 million replacements in 2024. The deployment of AI in store-shelf scanning and personalized advertising tools is also driving substantial ad revenue growth, showcasing how AI enhances both operational efficiency and income (Grocery Dive, Catherine Douglas Moran, 3/6). In the legal sector, firms are utilizing AI-driven analytics to shift from traditional key performance indicators to predictive insights, enabling legal departments to optimize resource allocation and improve case outcomes, thereby enhancing their overall efficiency and profitability (Today's General Counsel, Colin Levy, 3/6).

Moreover, Coupa has developed an AI-native spend management platform that automates compliance and enhances risk management, allowing finance teams to focus on strategic initiatives rather than routine tasks. This transformation not only mitigates risks but also improves financial resilience, leading to significant cost savings and efficiency (Harvard Business Review, 3/12). The evolution of AI from a tool to an integral part of business strategy indicates a shift in how organizations perceive and measure its value, focusing on long-term strategic advantages rather than just immediate financial metrics (Dataiku, Renata Halim, 3/7).
