An AI Workshop
Expert Instruction to Accelerate Your Journey
Artificial intelligence is a powerful technology that can drive quantum leap improvements to business strategies and operational execution. However, the most successful AI deployments are less about implementing tools and technologies and more about applying them to get top line revenue growth and bottom-line profit impact.
This AI workshop provides expert instruction for the planning, procurement and advancement of AI technologies that drive company results.
Why Attend This AI Workshop
Aligning people, processes and artificial intelligence technologies throughout the company is no easy effort.
But it's made easier with the practical instruction, research-based insights and best practices delivered in this workshop.
We share how to design and deploy AI technologies to achieve business results. We show how to advance and optimize the technology using a maturity model. We advise how to leverage your existing technology with new technologies to achieve synergies and lower costs. And we show how to advance and scale tools and technologies to achieve business transformation.
But more than anything, our AI experts share the success factors to ensure that you achieve your strategic objectives in the least time, cost and risk.
Agenda
From more than two decades of experience we know that adopting AI in a technology vacuum misses the mark. We also know that getting the most value and ROI can be accomplished in a four-step process.
Start with Strategy
As the saying goes, 'Well begun is half done.'
That's why we start with a strategy and methodology to maximize your technology and business impact. These two integrated steps show how to sequence actions into a roadmap that drive predictable and measured execution to a defined destination.
That roadmap prioritizes business outcomes. And it shows how the technology can be directly aligned with best practices and metrics to deliver the most important employee, customer and company results.
We'll share a repeatable 4-step methodology called Ascend.
It's a business-led, and technology driven approach.
And it shifts your journey from what can look like a random pursuit to an orchestrated, automated and scalable program.
Apply Use Cases
Once the business outcomes are defined, we show how to develop the use cases to achieve them.
We also share some of the most popular use cases so you can accelerate your journey.
As an example, for companies seeking to apply this technology for company growth objectives, we start with the use cases below.
We show how to append use cases with attributes such as investment, time to value, complexity and payback. This allows the use cases to be easily prioritized and sequenced.
Precision Execution
You will achieve the best results if you apply the use cases in a value chain that includes evidence-based best practices, the most salient metrics and the forecasted payback.
We show how to use an Execution Blueprint that defines the pathway to targeted results.
This model shows how to focus the company's limited resources on the best opportunities. It designs and communicates clear goals. It identifies the actions to achieve those goals. It mobilizes resources to execute the actions and measure progress in real-time.
Specific objectives, prescriptive methods, resource allocation and real-time analytics collectively create more favorable outcomes than would occur otherwise.
AI Tech Stack
We show how to maximize your technology investment using an AI tech stack.
It's unrealistic to purchase every application at once. So, a tech stack helps you procure what you need in a planned order based on value and payback.
It also creates several other benefits.
- It defines a holistic software portfolio. This is far better than the more typical approach of acquiring a mix of ad hoc and piecemeal systems.
- A strategically designed tech stack will define the fewest technologies to achieve the most objectives. This reduces fragmented systems, data siloes and the need for system integration.
- It lowers your overall IT cost and future proofs technology decisions.
A tech stack is an IT strategy that will result in less maintenance, greater utilization and higher ROI.
Why This Event is Worth Your Time
- It's fast. During the course of a day, expert instructors will deliver research-based insights, field-tested best practices, an operating methodology, and supporting templates to plan, deploy and scale a highly effective artificial intelligence program.
- It's data-driven. Recommendations without supporting data are just opinions. We skip the theoretical debates and apply real-world use cases, performance benchmarks, and technology accelerators to fast-track your progress.
- It's results focused. We put the spotlight on the actions that drive the most important business results.
