How AI is used and the technology, models and tools that are available are rapidly changing. Mainstream providers are releasing new models and technology frequently and keeping up can be exhausting. So how do decide how your business will embrace AI?
AI isn't a magic wand. It's a tool—one that can either sharpen your competitive edge or become an expensive distraction. Before you jump on the AI bandwagon, you need a clear, practical strategy. That starts with asking the right questions.
What’s the Core Function of Your Business? Be brutally honest. What do you actually do? AI isn’t about chasing trends; it’s about enhancing what already exists.
Where Are the Pain Points? Identify bottlenecks. What’s stopping you from hitting your targets? Are processes slow? Are customers dropping off? Fixing these gaps should be the primary aim.
Why Do You Want AI? Nail down the goal. Cost savings? Streamlined operations? Better forecasting? Don’t implement AI for the sake of it—have a clear business outcome in mind.
What Technical Skills Do You Have? AI needs people who know what they’re doing. Do you have the talent in-house? If not, plan for serious up-skilling or external partnerships.
What’s Already in Your Tech Stack? You don’t need to rebuild from scratch. Understand your current platforms and where AI can plug in without unnecessary overhaul.
Preferred Technology Stack? Avoid chasing the latest shiny tools. Stick with technologies that align with your existing infrastructure and team capabilities.
How Good Is Your Data? AI is only as good as the data you feed it. If your data quality is poor, focus here first—garbage in, garbage out.
How Will You Adopt New Ways of Working? AI requires cultural change. How will you drive adoption internally? Who’s going to resist, and how will you deal with that?
What’s the Budget and Expected ROI? Be realistic about costs. AI projects often balloon without a clear ROI model. Set expectations early and measure rigorously.
Who’s Driving AI Adoption? Is there executive sponsorship? Without a clear driver, AI initiatives stall and die.
Do You Have Pilot Projects in Mind? Start small. Identify pilot projects that can deliver quick wins and prove the value of AI before scaling.
Put bluntly, an AI strategy is not a vanity project. It’s a roadmap to solving real business problems with clear, measurable outcomes. Answer these questions upfront, and you’ll save yourself time, money, and a lot of headaches down the line.
