How DXC AdvisoryX Aims to Address the AI Execution Gap

DXC Technology has launched AdvisoryX, a consulting group that will work with enterprises on AI deployment. The company is releasing research that shows a gap between corporate enthusiasm for AI and the ability to implement it.

While 77% of leaders say AI is a board-level priority, 65% cannot build a clear enterprise business case for the technology and more than nine in 10 organisations hit problems when trying to deploy AI at scale.

“Enterprises are under intense pressure to ‘do AI’, but most still lack the fundamentals – optimised data, clear business cases, aligned leadership and the right technical architecture,” says Pete McEvoy, Global Head of AdvisoryX Group at DXC Technology. “It’s why 94% hit execution challenges and pilots fail to scale.”

AdvisoryX covers corporate strategy, technology transformation, finance, risk and user experience, with the group combining consulting work with DXC’s engineering operations.

DXC study shows rush to implement agentic AI

The research found that 30% of organisations plan to implement agentic AI within months. That timeline sits uncomfortably with the execution problems most companies report.

Half of the leaders surveyed expect hybrid models where AI operates with partial autonomy and humans approve key decisions. Another 31% expect AI to primarily assist humans and only 15% see fully autonomous AI systems coming in the near term.

By 2028, 81% of leaders expect AI to increase workforce demand in IT, data, cybersecurity and software development.

“AdvisoryX helps close that gap, enabling organisations to build from the ground up by establishing solid technical foundations, reimagining processes around value, implementing disciplined operations and validation, and designing interfaces that make AI work for people,” Pete says. “The result is AI that scales responsibly and delivers measurable impact.”

DXC rolls out five AI solutions under Xponential framework

DXC has built five products that address different stages of AI implementation. AI Core handles data, modelling, governance and platform architecture. The company describes this as the foundation layer for enterprise-grade AI systems.

AI Reinvent provides industry use cases across different operating models, from human-assisted systems to semi-autonomous and fully autonomous operations. AI Interact redesigns workflows and interfaces to enable collaboration between people and AI systems.

AI Validate runs continuous testing, observability and governance to check accuracy, quality and safety. AI Manage handles production operations and lifecycle management as models and infrastructure evolve. The company positions these under Xponential, its framework for enterprise AI adoption.

The products are designed to address what the research identified as five interconnected execution challenges: strategy, deployment focus, leadership alignment, organisational readiness and technical capability. DXC says the approach helps customers manage risk whilst delivering value across their organisations.

DXC updates brand identity alongside AdvisoryX launch

DXC has refreshed its brand identity alongside the AdvisoryX launch. “Our visual identity now matches the pace and ambition of our strategy,” says Anthony Pappas, Chief Marketing Officer at DXC Technology. “This refresh reflects who we are becoming as an organisation: more focused, more unified and more aligned to the AI-driven future our customers are navigating in this era of exponential change.

The company works with large organisations on core banking, insurance, healthcare, public sector and transportation systems. DXC has standardised its design language, tone and digital experience across markets.

“It captures our evolution and reinforces our commitment to helping enterprises run smarter today, modernise their foundations and transform with confidence for the future,” Anthony says.
