AI MINDSET
We're all "doing" AI.
But are we winning?
Key insights from the McKinsey 2025 "State of AI" report on what separates the winners from the crowd.
First, the good news:
88%
of companies are now regularly using AI in at least one business function.
Adoption is no longer the question.
But there's a huge gap...
~65%
of organizations are still stuck in the "experimenting" or "piloting" phase.
We're dipping our toes in, not diving.
This "Pilot Mode" trap means...
...almost no one is seeing real, enterprise-level value.
Using AI
88%
Seeing Bottom-Line (EBIT) Impact
39%
The gap isn't technology. It's mindset.
The report reveals two different mindsets.
One is "Playing Not to Lose."
The other is "Playing to Win."
The 94%: Playing Not to Lose
PRIMARY GOAL: "Efficiency"
Focus is on automating workflows and cutting costs.
AMBITION: Incremental Change
Piloting tools in silos without changing the business.
The 6%: Playing to Win
PRIMARY GOAL: "Growth & Innovation"
Using AI to create new products, services, and revenue.
AMBITION: Transformative Change
Fundamentally redesigning entire workflows around AI.
What does "transformative" mean?
High performers are...
3.6x
...more likely than all others to say their organization intends to use AI for transformative change.
They're also 2.8x more likely to be fundamentally redesigning workflows.
The next wave is already here:
AI AGENTS
62% of companies are already experimenting with agents—AIs that can autonomously plan and execute tasks.
This will widen the gap.
AI MINDSET
The barrier to thriving in the AI era isn't your tech stack.
It's your mindset.
Stop just piloting AI.
Start transforming with it.
