// Abstract

Generative AI is poised to bring impact across all industries and business functions. Across industries, while many companies pilot GenAI, only a few have deployed GenAI use cases, e.g., retailers are producing videos to answer common customer questions using ChatGPT. A majority of organizations are facing challenges to industrialize and scale, with data being one of the biggest inhibitors. Organizations need to strengthen their data foundations, given that among leading organizations, 72% noted managing data among the top challenges preventing them from scaling impact. Furthermore, leaders noticed that +31% of their staff's time is spent on non-value-added tasks due to poor data quality and availability issues.
