AI is Already Creating Winners in Private Equity - FTI Consulting
The companies winning with AI aren't the ones with the best tools.
They're the ones who decided what problem to solve first.

The companies winning with AI aren't the ones with the best tools.
They're the ones who decided what problem to solve first.
You're not alone if you've paid for an AI subscription your team quietly stopped using. That's not a you problem — that's what happens when a tool gets purchased before a problem gets defined.
FTI Consulting just published research on what separates AI winners from everyone else in private equity. The answer wasn't better technology. It was execution discipline — knowing exactly which problem you're targeting, who owns the outcome, and how you'll measure it.
That same principle applies to your business, whatever size you are.
The companies losing at AI bought tools looking for problems to solve. The companies winning identified one painful, repetitive process and found a tool to fix that specific thing.
Here's what you can do this week: Write down the one task your team complains about most. Something manual, repetitive, time-consuming. That's your AI starting point — not a platform, not a transformation. Just one problem.
That single decision separates a $200/month waste from a genuine win.
What's the one process in your business you wish someone else could handle?
