The Importance of Discovery Sessions

Discovery sessions are crucial for aligning AI initiatives with strategic business goals. Often, clients come with preconceived project ideas, such as implementing recommendation engines, without fully understanding how these solutions fit into their broader objectives. The process requires educating leadership on the importance of connecting AI strategies with business strategies, which facilitates the identification of relevant projects that offer high ROI. By elevating discussions to a strategic level, consultants can better engage clients in co-creation, ensuring that proposed AI projects align with long-term business needs.
