Measuring AI ROI at the Tool Level Is Missing the Point, Says Slalom UK AI Chief
A new article by Pedro Varela, Head of AI at Slalom UK & Ireland, argues that measuring AI ROI at the individual tool level is counterproductive. Instead, businesses should start with a clearly defined problem and then find the right AI solution, as tool-first approaches lead to unanswerable ROI questions. Varela notes that research suggests up to 70% of UK businesses are using or planning to use AI, and 2026 is seen as the year AI ROI gets real.
