Generative AI promised transformation. For most CPG companies, the reality was fragmented tools, untrained employees, and no clear governance. Mars, a privately held CPG firm valued at approximately $55 billion, sought a company-wide AI strategy and guardrails. Working with Tredence, Mars built an enterprise-grade AI platform from the ground up in just 12 months — turning cautious curiosity into measurable, company-wide adoption.
This case study, authored independently by Forrester, captures exactly how they did it: the strategic decisions, the governance framework, and the real-world outcomes.
