What is a Frontier firm
A Frontier organization is not defined by how fast it ran its first AI pilot. It is defined by how effectively it scaled intelligence across employees, customers, processes, and innovation. A Frontier Firm operates with Intelligence on Tap: AI that is embedded, proactive, and deeply integrated into how work
It is a structural shift.
