Research & Point of View
Insights & Perspectives
Research from leading firms. Practical perspectives from Juncture.
We curate research from leading consulting firms and industry experts, then translate those insights into practical implications for business leaders focused on business performance, operating models, and AI-era transformation.
Why Now?
AI is accelerating. Most operating models haven't caught up.
Organizations are investing more than ever in AI, technology, and transformation initiatives. Yet recent research from McKinsey and IBM points to the same conclusion:
• Only 27% of leaders believe their organizations are ready to make the organizational shifts needed to realize AI’s value.
• Only 25% of AI initiatives have delivered their expected ROI.
The technology isn’t the problem. The challenge is whether the organization is prepared to realize that value. That’s why Juncture begins with organizational readiness.

The State of AI: How Organizations Are Rewiring to Capture Value
Industry Insight
McKinsey found that while AI adoption is accelerating, relatively few organizations are realizing meaningful business value. Organizations generating the greatest impact are redesigning workflows and operating models rather than simply implementing new technology.
Juncture Perspective
AI is not just a technology initiative — it is an operating model initiative. Organizations create the most value when workforce, structure, workflows, systems, leadership, data, and AI work together as a connected system.
What Leaders Should Consider
Is your organization implementing AI — or redesigning how work gets done to capture its value?

BCG
How a Platform Operating Model Can Drive Agility and Resilience
Industry Insight
BCG highlights how siloed organizations often struggle with duplicated capabilities, disconnected systems, fragmented data, and inconsistent execution. Operating model redesign is frequently required before technology investments can deliver their full value.
Juncture Perspective
Most organizations are not losing performance because people are underperforming. They are losing performance because critical business functions operate independently rather than as a connected system.
What Leaders Should Consider
Where are silos and disconnected processes limiting performance across your organization?
