5 Key Pillars of AI Success to Transform Your Enterprise Business

Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities have developed rapidly, allowing us to do more than we ever thought possible. Our team has met with countless business leaders over the past few months, and many of them are asking similar questions:?

• “What can I do at this moment to help prepare myself and my organization for successful adoption of these impressive new capabilities?” ?
• “Am I putting the correct systems in place to make sure I am focused and delivering on the most meaningful scenarios for my organization or team?”?
• “How can I establish effective risk controls in my applications to protect data and responsibly integrate AI??

These are areas where our team at Mesmerise can guide you. We assist companies in safely powering their AI transformation in a few different ways. We bring an unbiased view to business leaders in your organization to be both more productive and also more creative. We elevate you as business leaders to deliver transformational experiences by guiding you on modernization, leveraging existing applications, or building new applications with a foundation of trust and security. We’re helping companies develop with safety and responsibility front and center and directly designed into their AI journey.?

We’ve learned many things along the way from our customers, from large to small. We’ve also seen patterns emerge and will share some of those learnings with you. ?

5 Key Drivers of AI Success emerging:?

1. Your Business Strategy?

Clearly defined and prioritized business objectives, use cases, and the measurement of AI value.?

2. Technology Strategy?

?An AI-ready application and data platform architecture creates parameters for build vs. buy decisions and plans for where to host data and applications to optimize outcomes.?

3. AI Strategy & Experience?

Applying the right models to the most appropriate use cases is paramount on the path to AI success within an enterprise. ?

4. Organization and Culture?

Strong leadership and knowing where you are currently in your AI journey is key to unfolding a successful AI driven transformation.?

5. AI Governance?

Trust, risk management and the responsible use of AI need to be built by design into processes and applications for successful implementation.??

Business Strategy:?

One of the biggest drivers of AI success is the degree to which an organization aligns their objectives to the strategy and then prioritizes AI use cases and considers how it will be measured. Rather than asking what AI can do, start with examining what are you trying to achieve with your business and explore how AI can help. ?

Technology Strategy:?

The pace of AI innovation is fast, so you need to choose an application and data platform architecture that can keep pace with your organization’s requirements. Your choice will determine the technologies you need and whether you’ll buy a prebuilt solution or build something yourself or use a combination.??

AI Strategy and Experience?

We’ve also learned through our conversations with business leaders that customer focus is imperative, and a systematic AI strategy and experience are essential for success. Paramount here is applying the right model to the right use case and application, so you can extend the capabilities across your entire organization. ?

Organization and Culture?

As exciting as AI and technology is, you need your business and people ready for it. Before deploying any technology it’s important to assess your organization and culture and their appetite for new technologies. That means defining a clear AI operating model, understanding data readiness, having strong leadership support and the right change management process in place. It’s also about ensuring effective relationships with many different SMEs so that learnings can be shared and dispersed quickly.??

AI Governance?

What we can achieve with AI depends on its responsible development and use and that includes trust, security, risk management and privacy. Organizations exploring AI for their business should apply processes, controls and accountability structures to govern data privacy, security, and ensure the responsible use of AI.??

Mesmerise Group believes AI technologies must be guided by an ethical control framework. Everything should be built upon a foundation of trust which is why we are led by risk experts and began our responsible AI journey years ago. ?

Our team is committed to each client’s success and that includes making sure AI technologies are created and deployed safely and responsibly. We know there isn’t a single model that can account for every situation and every organization is unique, but we hear from so many different companies turning to AI technologies. It’s clear – AI is now recognized as a key differentiator for future success. One that will not just change the game but redefine it. The companies most successfully leveraging AI today are prioritizing the five pillars I’ve described above.?
