Issue 5 - Chief Analytics Office: Deploying AI and Analytics across the enterprise?

In recent posts, I’ve outlined three key platforms (EPM, SAP 4/HANA and ISC) upon which IBM is transforming digitally to create growth and value. Today, I want to focus on IBM’s Chief Analytics (CAO) office, which is also an essential part of IBM's digital transformation.

What does the CAO do?

If platforms are the foundation of our digital transformation, CAO serves as architect of our digital future. The team partners with business units across IBM to embed AI and advanced analytics into workflows, delivering data-informed insights and machine learning recommendations to ultimately drive business value and make a smarter IBM.?

How does CAO drive transformation at IBM?

The CAO is focused on infusing AI into our strategic technology platforms to enable key business personas to drive growth, speed and organizational capabilities:

·??????Growth?– CAO connects the synapses of the corporation through data. For IBM Consulting, CAO streamlines staffing and pricing insights in an attempt to improve revenue, cost and profitability.

·??????Speed?–With speed and intelligence built into the pricing process, our Sales team is set up to work more effectively.

·??????Organizational Capabilities – CAO leads the way for new ways of working. Combining institutional knowledge with industry best practices, we can help accelerate and standardize workflows, freeing team members to develop new capabilities take on higher order tasks.

?Who benefits?

Through its visionary work, CAO’s goal is to transform IBM’s enterprise. They continue to reimagine AI workflows to make IBM smarter and drive value into every corner of our digital enterprise, optimizing how we work and creating a blueprint for how we support our clients on their own digital transformation journey.
