AI will be the most transformative technology in a generation

Many companies are already undergoing significant changes in response – and yet the technology is still in its infancy.

Organisations need to understand what this technology will mean for them and how they will respond. They need an AI Strategy.

Some of the questions and challenges we hear are:

  • Is GenAI a threat or an opportunity for our business?

  • How do we build a business case around the use of GenAI?

  • Our customers and leadership are asking us how we’ll use AI.

  • Our competitor has just announced they're using GenAI and we need to keep up.

  • We find it hard to translate the excitement around GenAI into a robust strategy.

  • We are uncertain about the right time to “jump into” GenAI given the rapid pace of change.

  • We struggle to articulate the risks, rewards and roadmap having never undertaken a GenAI project.
