Critical thinking and insights – For leaders, managers

AI should always be linked to business outcomes. Many companies still need an integrated AI strategy. This may be creating issues with AI model deployment. Recent research shows that many AI models do not progress to live status. A solid AI strategy linked to data and business strategy will improve cohesion and effectiveness.

Shift the focus from AI being an IT problem to a business problem fulfilling a specific business need. Also, good to create a solid AI/data culture with clear decision intelligence.

Critical thinking and insights – For developers and engineers

Every organisation has challenges when implementing AI across its teams. There needs to be concerted effort in focussing on the AI models’ outcome. This means there should be a complete buy-in from the team with a unified AI/data culture.
