Can AI Make Your Research More Relevant?

88% of companies now use AI in at least one business function and around one in six use GenAI tools. It is no surprise, then, that our recent study shows growing adoption of these tools in the thought leadership space – particularly for more direct engagement.

As AI becomes ever more sophisticated, its ability to generate increasingly targeted thought leadership content is changing creative and distribution strategies alike. In December 2025, Phronesis Partners surveyed over 1,300 executives globally on the future of personalized thought leadership.

In addition to the survey, the study included interviews with Rene Stranghoner, Head of Thought Leadership Research at ServiceNow; Jonathan Dahl, VP, Chief Content Officer at Korn Ferry; David Gentle, Global Head of Corporate Content at Fujitsu; Mara Stefan, VP of Global Insights at Manpower Group and Josselyn Simpson, Vice President and Global Editorial Director at Heidrick & Struggles.
