Success Highlights

Challenge

Despite early investments in AI, this global technology company faced growing AI adoption challenges that limited its ability to generate tangible results. While multiple solutions had been deployed, the business was not seeing the expected return—creating pressure to justify AI spend and demonstrate impact.

Key AI adoption challenges included:

  • Low adoption across teams, limiting the value of existing AI tools
  • Unclear prioritization of use cases, slowing scale and investment decisions
  • Fragmented user experience, reducing trust and usability
  • Disconnect between AI capability and business outcomes, impacting ROI

The business needed to move beyond isolated AI deployments toward a cohesive strategy that connects use cases to outcomes and embeds AI into day-to-day operations.

Solution

Building on a long-standing partnership, the client worked with Concentrix to overcome these AI adoption challenges. The focus was not on adding more AI, but on activating value from what already existed. Our approach combined real-world observation with data-driven analysis:

  • 100+ hours of live workflow analysis to understand how AI tools were actually used in practice
  • Cross-regional SME engagement to identify friction points and opportunity areas
  • Advisor and leadership input to surface usability and trust barriers
  • Technology and ecosystem review to align recommendations with existing investments
Instead of segmenting solutions by persona, the strategy focused on repeatable, scalable efficiencies across shared workflows, ensuring impact at scale. The assessment identified 12 high-impact use cases designed to directly address AI adoption challenges by improving usability, relevance, and workflow integration:

Near-term value (high impact, high feasibility):

  • Voice-enabled knowledge access: Reduce search time and improve resolution speed through conversational query
  • Real-time guidance: Deliver contextual recommendations during live interactions
  • Content optimization: Improve response quality and consistency with one-click rewrites
  • Sales assist: Provide dynamic, in-the-moment support for conversions and objection handling

Next-wave opportunities (higher complexity, higher upside):

  • Proactive conversation support: Real-time prompts to guide troubleshooting and interactions
  • Self-improving knowledge systems: Continuous learning from resolution outcomes
  • AI-driven containment: Reduce contact volume through intelligent deflection
  • Data integrity improvements: Streamline CRM accuracy to reduce friction and errors

To ensure execution, the strategy also addressed technology alignment by validating that it fit with existing platforms; data and content readiness by improving structure, accessibility, and the integration of knowledge assets; and change and adoption by embedding AI into workflows to drive sustained usage.

We identified 12 unique use cases for Al to enhance advisor efficiency and utilization, using successful examples from other Al implementations across similar clients to provide a benchmark for success.

Outcomes

By directly addressing AI adoption challenges, the client established a clear path from experimentation to value:

9.5% productivity gains across prioritized workflows.

44% projected adoption rates for near-term use cases.

$5-7M in annualized cost savings identified.

$2-3M in new revenue potential through improved conversion and efficiency.

Rather than scaling AI for its own sake, the client shifted to scaling outcomes, connecting AI directly to adoption, productivity, and revenue impact. This approach to its AI adoption challenges demonstrates a broader shift: success in AI is no longer defined by deployment, but by how effectively it is embedded into operations to overcome AI adoption challenges and translated into measurable business performance.
