The ROI of AI-Powered People Decisions: A Founder's Guide to Measuring What Matters

Here's the question that stops most founders when considering AI for people decisions: "Show me the actual numbers."

After analysing industry research across organisations of all sizes, I've discovered something remarkable: AI-powered people decisions deliver ROI faster and more significantly than most business leaders expect.

Recent studies from Harvard Business School and MIT show organisations using AI for people decisions achieve:

  • 25% improvement in overall business outcomes within 12-18 months

  • 60% reduction in team dysfunction

  • 35% faster problem resolution

  • 40% improvement in retention for high performers

This comprehensive guide explores real ROI calculations, measurement frameworks, and implementation strategies. From a professional services firm achieving 773% ROI in year one to technology companies saving £125,000 in management time, the evidence is compelling.

The magic isn't in the technology itself—it's what happens when you finally have clarity about which people decisions actually work.

Ready to measure what matters? This data-driven analysis includes practical ROI frameworks and real-world case studies to build your business case for AI investment.
