The Authentic Process of Implementing AI Initiatives

Implementing AI initiatives requires a thoughtful and comprehensive approach tailored to the brand's needs and stakeholder engagement. A rushed process, where a consultant merely asks for a short timeframe to devise a strategy, is ineffective and unproductive. Lasting transformation occurs through an authentic process of understanding the business context, collaborating with involved parties, and fostering a culture of trust and credibility. Establishing this foundation helps to align AI strategies with the overall business objectives, ensuring that any technological advancements make sense within the existing framework.
