The strategy "Designing an AI corporate implementation strategy" is focused on facilitating AI adoption across small businesses in a company's investment portfolio. It comprises three main elements: conducting readiness assessments, developing tailored training programs, and implementing pilot projects.
Conducting an AI readiness assessment involves evaluating a business’s technology infrastructure and workforce AI literacy, identifying data quality, and analyzing industry adoption trends. This approach helps prioritize which businesses should receive AI solutions first. For example, a business with a robust IT setup and high data quality will score better on the readiness scale.
Developing tailored AI training programs focuses on identifying industry-specific AI concepts and creating adaptable curriculums. Interactive workshops and case studies are integrated to enhance practical understanding, leveraging partnerships with industry experts for real-world insights, thereby ensuring the workforce is well-prepared.
Implementing AI pilot projects allows for hands-on trials, setting objectives and KPIs, and leveraging partnerships with tech vendors. Businesses can fine-tune AI solutions before scaling, based on continuous monitoring and feedback.
