HCLTech has released a synthetic research report, "Hidden In Pl(AI)n Sight," based on over 1,000 AI personas in the global wealth management industry. The study reveals that 84% of firms acknowledge the need for an operating model reset to fully leverage AI, yet less than 10% are prepared for this shift. While 98% of leadership teams are pursuing an AI agenda, only about 7% are actively building agentic AI capabilities. The report identifies three critical blind spots: ambition (funding AI for efficiency over transformation), execution (lack of investment in proprietary data), and strategy (failure to measure AI's impact on growth). HCLTech emphasizes that competitive advantage will come from combining AI with proprietary client knowledge and human expertise, not just AI adoption. The research, conducted with Evidenza, showcases a new model for insight generation using AI at scale and human judgment.

HCLTech's new research report, 'The Silicon Shift: When Every Industry Becomes a Chip Industry,' reveals that integration has surpassed supply chain issues as the primary challenge in the semiconductor sector. The report surveyed 300 senior leaders globally and found that 98% of enterprises are more dependent on semiconductors than three years ago, with 71% citing AI as a driver for increased semiconductor architecture importance. Industrial automation shows the most acute dependency. Enterprises are increasingly seeking engineering service providers for hardware/software integration, supply chain support, and industry expertise. The findings suggest that competitive advantage will increasingly hinge on engineering partnerships and integration capabilities rather than just silicon performance.
