AI Journey: The EPMA Way
Navigating the complexities of an AI implementation can be daunting. Whether you’re hesitant about AI or uncertain where to start, we provide expert guidance from education and awareness to seamless integration and continual improvement. EPMA brings together business leaders and IT operational teams to identify where and how AI can be used effectively in the organization. Success hinges on meticulous planning, encompassing suitable solutions and preparing data, processes, and personnel to best leverage the power AI. EPMA follows a structured 4-step approach to implement AI solutions effectively.
AI, if deployed successfully, will be your organization’s competitive advantage and differentiator. Implementation of AI can create new and disruptive opportunities to drive increased revenue, create customer engagement, reduce costs, and improve overall productivity.
AI is not about implementation of a simple app or tool, or one function in isolation, but about scale and critical touch points. EPMA focuses on where your organization can get true value through AI initiatives that have the potential to transform processes, systems, data and upskill your workforce.
Understanding the vision and value is critical to ensuring long-term success and avoiding potential disaster. Additionally, understanding the risk to your organization is equally critical. These risks come from internal and external elements, such as regulatory, reputational, competencies, security, and IP.
Adoption or implementation of an AI strategy bears the same hallmarks that our consulting teams have practiced for decades. Any implementation requires people, process, and technology to be all part of the solution. With AI, we deal with the same principles: do your people have the skills necessary to use AI, do you have the data that is necessary for AI, and ultimately do you have the technology infrastructure to handle AI.
