GREENSBORO, NC, UNITED STATES, July 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Leadership Execution Institute has published a report in its Momentum Metric research series on why organizations deploy AI faster than they convert deployment into profit-and-loss outcomes. The full report, titled The Momentum Metric: Selecting and Executing for Volatility in the AI Era, is available here: https://leadershipexecutioninstitute.org/research/the-momentum-metric-report/
Legacy execution systems acquire capability without designing for human capacity at every leadership tier. That is a missing operating-system update, not a failure of leadership intent. The Decision Agility Gap is the distance between how fast capability arrives and how fast an organization converts it into decisions that change outcomes.
BCG’s October 2024 research found only 4% of companies at the forefront of AI value creation, with another 22% actively scaling. MIT’s Project NANDA found 95% of enterprise generative AI pilots delivered no measured profit-and-loss impact. That figure is financial outcome, not technical pilot failure.
Most organizations are measuring deployment velocity when the constraint sits at decision velocity, said Jim Rembach, Executive Director of the Leadership Execution Institute. Capability can be purchased in a single budget cycle. The capacity to absorb, decide, and reinforce that capability cannot. That gap is structural, and it is diagnosable.

What does the research briefing show about AI pilot spend and P&L impact?
AI pilot spend often fails to reach the profit and loss statement when deployment outpaces decision speed and reinforcement.
