EY.ai Value Blueprints

Shift from bolt-on AI to built-in AI with scalable blueprints that unlock innovation, new models and enterprise-wide transformation.

Reactive efforts to quickly bolt on AI to existing processes have led to a proliferation of siloed pilots and tools, not actual business transformation. Functions have each built their own use cases in legacy frameworks, for their own purposes, not the broader organization’s. As a result, executives find themselves stuck in their AI journey where they first started without a unified plan, facing missed opportunities, diminishing returns and unrealized potential.

Instead, the winners emerging from this investment wave share a common characteristic: They’re doing different things — not just doing things differently.

Seizing today’s true potential relies on built-in AI, not bolt-on: reimagining processes and their outcomes with AI at the core, unlocking a new future, not merely automating the past. When AI becomes part of the process architecture itself, organizations start unlocking new business models, new experiences and entirely new value pools.

What’s needed more than ever is the most rarefied of commodities: leadership that sees the full picture and is ready to redraw it to emphasize abundance and growth, not efficiency and scarcity. With that in mind, we have developed EY.ai Value Blueprints — to move organizations from being AI-enabled to AI-native. 

Instead of ineffective pilots based on siloed infrastructure, agentic enterprises are equipped with:

• Interoperable toolsets. New AI capabilities don’t have to exist just within HR, finance or marketing. The democratizing power of recent advances in AI should pave the way for end-to-end transformation.
• Compliance as code. Governance by design embeds controls and guardrails into systems from the beginning.
• Transparent hybrid workforces. Work advances itself through automation, and humans deliver judgment, creativity and innovation. Bots and brains become co-workers across the organization.
• Goal-oriented execution. AI efforts are guided by what companies want to achieve — outcome-focused rather than task-focused. 

Agentic enterprises are constructed blueprint by blueprint in seven layers, unlocking a transformational tomorrow, not merely achieving cheaper ways to do yesterday’s work.

Here’s how aspirational leaders are re-evaluating and reimagining what’s possible.

The EY.ai Value Blueprint difference

The value of leadership, grounded in human qualities such as curiosity, empathy and aspiration, has never been greater. This is a unique opportunity for leaders to add value and enhance their impact by adding more than is subtracted — and delivering positivity instead of uncertainty.
