Transformation to Stakeholder Management Offers Enormous Opportunities

Using Costco as a benchmark, I asked ChatGPT 5 to evaluate the average US business as well as the top 1,000 companies. Both the average company

and top 1,000 score far behind Costco, this analysis suggests.

Given the significant resources available to large companies, the difference between small and large enterprises is surprising. This suggests that the management consulting and corporate coaches used by these firms have not suggested this opportunity for performance improvement.

Please note that the EEA does not consider anything produced by AI as fully confirmed, so these results should be considered food for thought rather than fact. It would take an enormous application of human resources to objectively validate these ratings, so judge for yourself.
