Growth Reinvented – Turn Your Data and AI into Money

How can companies grow and generate more revenues with data and AI? What are the relevant commercial models and monetisation tactics when talking about data and AI as a corporate asset?

Business books, articles and presentations often claim that data and AI can enable completely ‘new business models’, yet there are barely any descriptions of what these new business models could be. Similarly, business leaders often complain that their companies have collected vast amounts of unique high-quality data, but have not yet proved capable of unlocking the business value of these good data assets.

Growth Reinvented is a book that explores new data and AI enabled business models. While current literature commonly focuses on how to companies can use data and AI to amplify their existing product and services, we raise the bar by discussing the commercial opportunities related to using data and AI to create new products, services and business models, thus highlighting this technology as a standalone opportunity.

Building on dozens of practical company examples and case studies, Growth Reinvented offers a playbook of data and AI enabled business models, something that business leaders can easily start to implement in their firms. It also gives guidance on how to drive a coherent business model transformation, as well as a related systemic change in the business.

In a world of unrelenting turbulence, implementation of new data and AI enabled business models, combined with a commitment to transition towards technology-enabled scalable new offerings and revenue models, could be key to building resilience in business. Through these activities, a company can reduce its dependence on legacy businesses and assets, stay relevant to its customers, open new avenues for growth, differentiate from the competition and build an ability to bounce back from any adversity.
