The GenAI Playbook for 2025

Thrive in the Age of AI Agents

The GenAI revolution is entering its most pivotal phase, and stakes have never been higher. AI agents are reshaping how organizations operate, but with innovation comes challenges: commoditization, ROI pressure, LLM chaos, governance complexity, and workforce upskilling.

This report outlines the five key trends shaping 2025 and provides a roadmap to help you differentiate your AI strategy, stay ahead of the competition, and seize the GenAI moment.

Don’t Get Left Behind in the AI Agent Reckoning

85% of Data, Analytics, & IT Leaders Are Under C-Suite Pressure to Quantify the ROI From GenAI

A Dataiku survey of 200 C-suite executives revealed that 37% are measuring the success and ROI of GenAI initiatives qualitatively and 59% are doing so quantitatively. Top challenges include difficulty isolating GenAI’s impact from other tech or initiatives and a lack of clear metrics or benchmarks for measuring success.

TL;DR: It’s difficult to quantify results now — and it’s not going to get easier with the rise of AI agents, which are inherently more complex.
