5 AI Metrics That Actually Prove ROI To Your Board
💡
Key Takeaway
Boards that keep asking "where's the ROI?" are getting that question back because their teams are reporting adoption rates and hours saved instead of revenue, cost, and retention numbers. Gartner's framework cuts through that by mapping AI investments directly to metrics finance already tracks – sales conversion, labor cost per output, time to market, collections efficiency, and employee net promoter score. Pick two or three tied to your primary goal, run a controlled pilot, and you'll have board-ready numbers within a quarter rather than a year of promises.
