Our partners at KPMG recently published an article on unlocking Total Value through Agentic AI. They describe Total Value as the intersection of Total Experience, bringing together customer, employee, and partner interactions into a unified system, and Total Performance, how effectively front, middle, and back-office operations work together to drive growth, resilience, and profitability. Their core argument is: the biggest returns from AI won’t come from isolated deployments inside individual functions. They’ll come from connecting experience and performance across the enterprise. As agentic AI matures, the measurement framework also shifts from function-level KPIs to outcome-based value like retention, lifetime value, and revenue growth. We’re seeing the same pattern in our own work. The organizations pulling ahead aren’t simply deploying more AI tools. They’re building the operational infrastructure needed to turn AI activity into measurable enterprise outcomes. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/ebdwMtHU #Shibumi #ThoughtLeadership #Partner #KPMG #AI #ROI #TotalValue

There's nothing worse than walking into a steering committee meeting and learning an initiative is off track for the first time, in the room. That's exactly why we built the RAID Log. Every risk, issue, assumption, and decision across your portfolio lives in one place, so nothing slips through the cracks. 🔎 Ask our AI chatbot "which initiatives have the most dependencies?" or "what's currently at risk?" and get an answer in seconds. 🤖 Your team can spend less time chasing status updates and more time actually acting on them. 🔗 Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/e6kJGX6M #Shibumi #WhyShibumi #RAIDlog #AI

PwC's 2026 AI Performance Study found that the organizations pulling ahead aren't the ones that automated the most. They're the ones using AI to reinvent their business models and pursue growth they couldn't access before. What's striking is that the strongest predictor of AI-driven financial performance wasn't efficiency. It was using AI to surface and act on growth opportunities, including ones outside the boundaries of your core business. This is exactly the pattern we see in large-scale transformation programs. The organizations that realize meaningful returns from their strategic investments aren't the ones that deploy the most tools. They're the ones with the infrastructure to translate initiative-level activity into enterprise-level decisions. Pointing AI at growth instead of just productivity is a different operating posture. And that distinction is exactly what we're building around at Shibumi, it's where the real gap between leaders and everyone else is opening up. 🖥️ Read the full study: https://lnkd.in/eU6mBCbV #Shibumi #Partner #PwC #ThoughtLeadership #AI #AIGrowth #Study

KPMG US's Q1 2026 AI Pulse report puts a striking number on a problem most enterprise leaders are already feeling: U.S. organizations are projected to spend an average of $207 million on AI over the next 12 months, nearly double last year, yet 65% report difficulty scaling AI use cases, up from just 33% last quarter. The investment appetite is undeniable. What's lagging is the infrastructure to turn that spend into something measurable. Throwing more capital at AI without solving the scaling gap isn't a strategy, it's a larger experiment. What KPMG is really diagnosing is a work management problem dressed up as a technology problem. The organizations closing the gap between AI deployment and ROI aren't necessarily running the most sophisticated models. They're the ones who know exactly what they're trying to accomplish, who owns it, and how progress connects to value. That operational clarity is what Shibumi is built around, and it's what separates firms that can answer the ROI question from those still struggling to ask it the right way.

What if every portfolio company could tap into the collective intelligence of the entire portfolio? Most firms are drowning in spreadsheets, decks, and manual updates with no real visibility into what's working. Shibumi brings every value creation plan into one connected system, and that's just the start Watch to see what's possible when the whole portfolio is working together. 🖥️ https://lnkd.in/eHTuVRRY

Most transformation programs don't fail because the strategy was wrong. They fail because the risks were visible too late. A 2026 analysis found that globally, failed transformation efforts cost organizations an estimated $2.3 trillion per year, and a big part of that comes down to dependencies and blockers that weren't flagged until they became real problems. By then, course correcting is expensive, slow, and sometimes not possible at all. Shibumi was built around the belief that risk shouldn't be a retrospective conversation. With dependency tracking and real-time portfolio visibility baked in, your team can see what's at risk before it derails, not after. Proactive beats reactive every time. 💻 See how it works: https://lnkd.in/ev9strNR #Shibumi #DependencyForecasting #RealTimeVisibility #BusinessTransformation

Medline manages hundreds of strategic investments across one of the largest medical supply organizations in the US. But with reporting cycles stretching six to eight weeks and data scattered across systems, getting a clear picture of what was actually working was a real challenge. With Shibumi, they cut that reporting time by more than 7 days. 📥 The full results? Worth a read: https://lnkd.in/eQrrj5Gg #Shibumi #CustomerStory #CaseStudy #Medline
