Future of Professionals Report 2025: Actionable insights for corporate leaders

The vast majority (81%) of professionals in corporate enabling functions anticipate artificial intelligence will have a high or even transformational impact on their work. Yet, less than half (48%) expect significant departmental change this year, and only 19% have an AI strategy in place, underscoring a critical need for clear guidance.

This action paper, based on the Future of Professionals Report 2025, provides that essential framework. It draws insights from over 600 professionals across corporate legal, risk and compliance, tax and accounting departments, global trade, and the wider C-suite, spanning more than 50 countries. The paper offers clear steps for corporate function leaders and C-suite executives to build a robust AI investment and adoption strategy.

Some key steps outlined include how corporate functions should:

  • Focus on assessment principles. Aligning AI strategy with organizational and departmental goals and establishing a clear approach to managing and securing company data.
  • Establish strategic principles. Investing in talent and training, while identifying any skills gaps among their professionals.
  • Prioritize early AI initiatives. Defining key performance indicators (KPIs) to track the success of such initiatives.
