The Integrated Strategy Machine: Using AI to Create Advantage

Before we explore the integrated strategy machine, let's consider technology's potential to enhance strategy--and its limits. Technology has gotten dramatically better and smarter. In the past decade, cognitively inspired algorithms have enabled machines to learn abstract concepts efficiently and without supervision. The expansion of data, by an estimated 2.5 quintillion bytes every day, has fueled more empirical and real-time approaches to business problem solving. And continued advances in hardware (and the surprising longevity of Moore's Law) and scalable computing architecture have reduced computation costs and allowed businesses to take advantage of the explosion of data.
