Set Out on Your AI Journey

A prosperous AI implementation begins when you are equipped with the right tools for taking action. Understand the AI challenge that businesses face today. Then, using our roadmap, set out on the four phases of the AI journey. It's simple, straightforward, and easy to follow. Don't delay. Start now.

The AI Challenge in Numbers

90%

of business leaders say that improving the use of data is a top priority, yet only 15 percent of them are actually getting what they need from their data.

81%

of business leaders do not understand the data and infrastructure required for AI. Even if they did, 80 percent of data is either inaccessible, untrusted, or unanalyzed.

2.5 quintillion

bytes of data are being created daily, in a variety of forms. This increases the complexity of capturing and managing data to drive meaningful insights.

Less than .5%

of data is analyzed and used by organizations. Without the right tools, organizations are unable to keep up with the growing complexity of data.

A Tactical Journey in Four Phases

Phase 1

Establish your AI-enabled business strategy

Your strategy must come from the top of your organization. Ensure that it has clear and attainable business outcomes, and focus on instilling the mandate throughout your organization.

Phase 2

Keep the focus on your data

Each organization has data that is clean and ready for use. Don't let poor data quality or quantity be an excuse to delay the journey to AI. Rather, begin with the data you have. Then, use AI as a driver for investing in a solid data platform, one that brings together external licensed and public data, to unlock broad data sets that enable the training of AI algorithms.

Phase 3

Move from strategy to execution with speed

Choose a starting point that works for your organization and your business objectives. Execute quickly, show repeated results and demonstrate the need to scale. Throughout the process, ensure that you are communicating regularly and openly with your stakeholders.

Phase 4

Construct a path to scale AI

Ready your team with the appropriate skills and change management practices to grow and leverage AI. To achieve this step, you'll want to tap into internal hires as well as strategic partners while practicing sound stakeholder, cultural and change management. At this point, you'll be fully prepared to execute on the business transformation mandates set out by your leadership.

Questions to Ask

  • Data: Who owns and maintains your data? How strong is your organization's data proficiency?
  • Focus: What are your strategic imperatives? How can you reflect them in a three-year action plan?
  • Organization: Where are your most substantial skill gaps? How can you fill those gaps?
  • Value: What are the leading value drivers for your organization? How will you measure the benefits of AI?
