Despite great visions, 80% of Artificial Intelligence (AI) initiatives fail to create value for organizations. The answer is not having better technologies, rather is how to implement and manage them at work. This program is tailored for hitting to the core of this challenge for those who want to turn AI initiatives into effective and sustainable value for organizations.
The potential of AI is undeniable to elevate efficiency, enhance effectiveness, create new ideas and foster innovation. However, many organizations struggle to turn this potential to actual value. Moving from pilots to practice, and turning explorations into effective initiatives integrated into the day-to-day work requires different mindsets, tools, approaches, and techniques.
