AI as a Productivity Booster

The H&Z Playbook for Practical Impact

AI is moving from experimentation to everyday work. This playbook shows how organisations can use AI to deliver real productivity gains, not just pilots or proofs of concept.

AI is moving quickly from experimentation into everyday work. Yet many organisations still struggle to translate pilots into real productivity improvements. This playbook outlines how AI can achieve efficiency across core workflows and what foundations are needed to scale impact. 

The paper outlines the AI capabilities creating value today and the organisational conditions required to move from isolated pilots to sustained performance gains. Sector snapshots from automotive, rail, industrial goods and procurement illustrate how leading organisations are already putting these principles into practice. 

The focus throughout is practical: where to start, which capabilities matter most, and how governance, data readiness and workflow integration accelerate measurable ROI.
