With a plethora of AI tools, platforms and products vying for your business with amazing capability claims, where do you start to make a real and practical difference to your business? With a toxic mix of product claims, business assumptions and knowledge based on hype, it's easy to go down the wrong track trying to make the most of the AI revolution. But there are some simple steps you can take to manage this risk.
Don't be afraid to put forward an ambitious improvement proposition based on AI.
There's usually some truth in what you may have heard about what AI can do for you, but the claims are often overplayed. Think big but then be prepared to cut back to what's really workable and affordable.
Have a firm idea about what the real savings and opportunities are
Don't get too carried away with your AI solution idea without properly weighing up the true benefits. Then you can look at the cost implications of various solutions - there's always more than one way to skin the AI cat - before you press the 'go' button.
Be prepared to invest in experimentation and aim for incremental benefits
Learning and adapting is key to successful AI solution deployment. Things may not behave as you expect first time round. Learn from the set-backs and build on the wins to keep improving.
