The Valuation Premium: New Science of Value Appropriation

Description

In an era where “AI-enabled” has devolved from a visionary badge to a valuation liability, leaders must transcend the efficiency trap to avoid the “compute tax” discount.

Success is no longer measured by the adoption of technology, but by the adoption clock, the speed at which organizational change translates into audit-grade, production-level revenue.
