The Day PowerPoint Died

Gone are the days when Fortune 500 giants depended on traditional consulting firms, spending millions on reports outdated upon arrival. Today, global leaders from automotive to insurance and energy are turning to AI-powered platforms like FifthRow, dramatically cutting strategy execution timelines from months to mere days—or even hours. Take the Fortune 500 automotive leader that needed rapid validation of new business models. Instead of waiting months for static consultant reports, FifthRow leveraged real-time data to deliver actionable insights ten times faster at a fraction of the cost, accelerating market entry and competitive advantage. Similarly, a major insurance firm transitioned from slow, consultant-led productivity assessments to FifthRow’s dynamic, AI-driven approach. The result? Two to three times productivity improvements and continuous, adaptive strategy execution that immediately responds to market shifts. For a prominent French energy company, the move from traditional consulting to FifthRow's AI-driven strategy led to rapid identification of lucrative market expansion opportunities. Rather than relying on dated insights, the company adapted strategies in real time, resulting in quicker, more profitable growth. These stories aren’t isolated—they signal a fundamental shift from static strategy decks to adaptive, real-time strategy execution powered by AI. Companies embracing this transition aren't merely saving money; they’re redefining agility, reclaiming valuable time, and positioning themselves at the forefront of innovation.
