Executives Measure AI ROI Using Outcomes Not Tokens
💡
Key Takeaway
Four enterprise AI leaders – from BNP Paribas, La Banque Postale, Tata Consultancy Services, and NTT DATA – have publicly abandoned token consumption as a primary ROI metric, shifting instead to employee productivity, customer outcomes, and cost-per-impact. The move reflects a growing recognition that raw usage volumes obscure whether AI is actually improving business performance. If your organization is still reporting token counts up the chain, you are measuring activity, not results – and that gap will cost you credibility when budget scrutiny intensifies.
