Most businesses are considering how Artificial Intelligence can be deployed to improve business performance, or at a minimum to stay relevant in the future and not get left behind by the competition.
Some of these businesses have started AI pilots. Often, these are technology led initiatives, with little or no involvement from the board or senior executives other than initial sign-off. Business outcomes tend to be poorly defined and success poorly monitored. As a result, the vast majority of AI pilots are not delivering any positive results. What is worse, AI pilots that do not deliver often put the organization off trying to use Artificial Intelligence in future.
Good AI initiatives start with a strong vision from the top of the organization around what future business outcomes are key to long-term survival and profitable growth of the business.
From this vision, an innovation roadmap is defined which clearly defines a set of achievable and measurable business objectives that will contribute to delivering this vision.
These business objectives need to be prioritized, and will lead to a set of initiatives that should include well-conceived projects that can start delivering results based on the ‘as-is’ status of the business and grow in ambition as the business transforms.
At the same time there need to be change management initiatives to ensure buy-in and involvement across the organization. The most successful AI projects are inspired by the top but brought to life by staff across the organization.
