I have been working on AI enterprise applications for some years. I have seen many companies that want to implement AI driven innovation on their organisation but struggle to do so because the C-level decision maker was convinced he needs a new AI tool that the vendor promised to deliver immense value to his organisation.
One of the biggest mistakes I have seen on this kind of approach is the leadership relying too much on the technology without taking in consideration the staff.
AI, like any emerging technology, comes with a lot of promises and hype. It's crucial to have realistic expectations and a clear understanding of its potential outcomes when assessing the impacts on an organisation.
If the leadership is not prepared to support, encourage and guide the staff, it will be just a waste of time and money. Leaders need to have a clear understanding of AI’s capabilities and limitations. They should champion the technology and foster a culture of learning and adaptation. This means providing employees with the necessary training and resources to feel confident using AI tools.
I have created a simple strategy guide to help leaders encourage AI transformation on the organisation:
When to Use AI: Provide examples of scenarios where AI can add value (e.g., automating routine tasks, enhancing customer service).
Where to Implement AI: Discuss specific areas within the business where AI can be most impactful.
How to Incorporate AI: Offer practical steps for integrating AI, such as piloting projects, gathering feedback, and scaling successful implementations.
Case studies: Share stories of businesses that successfully integrated AI by prioritising preparation over jumping straight to tech adoption.
I would love to hear other stories and examples of members of the sub who are also working on organisations adopting new AI tools or pushing innovation from AI initiatives in corporate environment.
If you are also interested in a more deep dive into my idea for people centric approach on AI corporate innovation, I made a complete post about it.
