This webinar will explore three crucial insights that transform how organizations approach AI implementation:
The solutions-first trap that derails AI initiatives before they start
The outcome-first methodology that forces alignment with business outcomes
How to identify and prioritize outcomes for AI opportunities
Event Overview
Weāre kicking off our 3-part AI Advantage Series: How Leaders Turn AI Strategy into ROIwith our first webinar, Outcome First, AI Next, a practical look at how defining outcomes first helps leaders align AI strategy with real business results.
Most organizations approach AI backwards, starting with impressive technology capabilities and hoping to find valuable applications, yet most fail to achieve meaningful ROI.
In this webinar, Laks Srinivasan, AI Transformation Leader at Scaled Agile and Founder and CEO of the Return on AI Institute (now part of Scaled Agile), will reveal why the most successful AI implementations reverse this approach by defining specific business outcomes first, then deploying AI as the solution mechanism.
You’ll discover the proven methodology that improves pilot-to-production success rates, and learn how to avoid the problem that causes organizations to lose their AI investment value.
