Why it matters now

While many organizations are exploring generative AI, few succeed in scaling it into daily operations. Fragmented data, document-heavy workflows, and increasing demands for transparency, compliance, and control continue to slow adoption. GenAIQ addresses these challenges by combining agentic AI, domain-specific intelligence, and deep enterprise integration in a single, modular platform - turning experimentation into scalable execution.

Business value and adoption

GenAIQ supports organizations at every stage of their AI journey - from task-level assistance to fully automated, end-to-end processes. Powered by 60+ industry-specific agents and proven workflows available through its agent store, the platform reduces manual effort in knowledge-intensive work, improves output quality, and accelerates time to value.

BearingPoint supports clients end-to-end, from identifying high-impact use cases to implementation, enablement, and long-term scaling.

“Many organizations are experimenting with generative AI but struggle to scale beyond isolated use cases,” says Tomas Chroust, Partner and Head of CoE Data Analytics & AI at BearingPoint. “GenAIQ provides a scalable, integrated platform that transforms agentic AI into a reliable foundation for business automation.”

“GenAIQ was built to evolve with our clients’ ambitions,” adds Tessen Fritzsche, Product Manager GenAIQ at BearingPoint. “Whether starting with task-level support or moving toward end-to-end automation, the platform delivers flexibility, transparency, and enterprise-grade control.”

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said Tuesday that he had survived a vote on his leadership among his own party’s lawmakers, after recent slumps in the polls prompted speculation he might be ousted.

The vote was held behind closed doors during a routine meeting of Luxon’s center-right National Party lawmakers and was sought by the Prime Minister himself. Luxon emerged afterward to read a brief statement announcing the vote and departed without taking questions from reporters.

“The last week, there has been intense media speculation about my leadership,” Luxon said, adding that he had called for a confidence vote “to put that media speculation to rest.”

His party caucus had “answered clearly and decisively,” the Prime Minister said. “It has backed my leadership.”

He did not say that the vote had been unanimous. Nicola Willis, the party's deputy leader, said later Tuesday that vote had been a secret ballot with only scrutineers knowing the final tally, but that Luxon must have received a majority.

The confidence vote happened months ahead of New Zealand’s next national election, scheduled for Nov. 7. Recent drops in the polls for National had prompted speculation from analysts that he would face a leadership challenge.

That was seen by party lawmakers as an unwelcome distraction in an election year for National, which has governed New Zealand in a right-wing coalition government since the 2023 vote. Luxon, a former airline executive who entered Parliament in 2000, has led the party since 2021.

While two recent New Zealand prime ministers — National's John Key and Labour's Jacinda Ardern — have voluntarily quit the post, it would have been extremely unusual for lawmakers to oust a sitting prime minister.

Luxon blamed reports of unrest within his party's ranks on news outlets, but one political poll released days ago appeared to have made a discussion of leadership unavoidable. The 1News-Verian poll suggested slumping support for Luxon and for National in a hypothetical election.

The levels of support in the most recent poll implied the right-wing bloc led by his party could come in behind the left-wing bloc led by Labour if an election were held immediately, though the vote won’t occur for more than another six months.

“If the media want to keep focusing on speculation and rumor, I am not going to engage,” Luxon said Tuesday.
