AI and Your Firm's Enterprise Value

Everyone's talking about AI making your team faster. That's true, and it's not the whole story. What your firm is worth comes down to two things: how much it earns, and the multiple someone would pay for it. AI that just saves time helps the first number. It does nothing for the second, and the second number is usually the bigger one.

In this issue of The Current News, our team applied that thinking to AI, one lever at a time: growth, margin, technology, talent, and governance. Five new reads, each asking the same question in a different part of the business: does this actually build a firm worth more, or does it just make the current one run a little faster?

New to the five levers? You can catch up on our Enterprise Value Model series here to see how AI changes the picture:  Get the Guide
