- Leadership education (Keynotes / Presentations): What is AI? How does it affect organizations and decisions? What organizations are more strongly affected? How can leaders respond to these new challenges? Through a series of educational presentations, I can guide your team of managers in finding answers to these questions.
- AI strategy definition (Workshops): Working with your team of leaders, we can analyze your current business- and operating models and identify the areas subject to change in an AI-driven world, thereby creating your long-term AI strategy.
- AI use case identification (Workshops): Working with your subject-matter experts, we will analyze your current processes and workflows across organizational areas relating to the delivery of your products as well as back-end tools, and identify the most promising areas of AI application. We will then derive the most useful approaches to use case implementation.
- Change management (Project work): Identifying what AI can do is one thing - getting the organization on board is another. By working with your employees and driving the ramp-up of knowledge, we can alleviate fears around AI and get your organization ready for the future.
