Accelerating AI Journey Envisioning Service
Organizations face challenges identifying quality use cases for AI and generative AI. AHEAD assists to take a key first step by cataloguing all proposed uses and classifying them on dimensions like expected value, feasibility, and ethical risk. AHEAD rigorously qualify each use case against criteria such as data availability, technical maturity, and compliance to determine overall viability. By mapping all opportunities to a standard taxonomy, we can strategically prioritize quick wins while tracking more complex use cases for future consideration. To identify valuable AI use cases, AHEAD facilitates collaborative workshops with technology and business teams. These sessions align on priorities and objectives, ideate opportunities, and assess potential value and implementation viability for each use case. The output is a catalog of use cases mapped to critical dimensions like expected business impact, policy and metrics to gauge success.
