Prioritize Your Most Impactful Goals

Perhaps the most important takeaway from this report is that you need well-defined business goals that focus on real value, ones that go beyond productivity and operational improvements. And you need to prioritize your goals effectively. This will allow you to get to the finish line faster and drive a greater impact for the organization.

Hire & Train for the Right Skills

Once you have your goals in mind, you’ll have clarity into what skills your organization needs — and what skills you already have that might not be leveraged appropriately. Let this drive your hiring and training programs.

Modernize Beyond Your Tech

By modernizing your business’s way of thinking and working as well as setting your teams up for success with top enablement programs, you can pinpoint what actions you need to take to achieve your goals. Let those goals be the thread that ties together your modernization journey. 

Address Your Biggest Security Threats

No matter how sophisticated your tech stack is, it’s clear that every business could benefit from a stronger security program, one that’s built into your strategy and infrastructure by design. Spend time with your engineers to learn what the biggest problems are — and define how to solve them.

Invest in Your Governance Program

The journey to AI governance will be continuous. To speed it up, your business needs to invest in the right people, platforms and best practices that can help you get the necessary building blocks in place.  

Keep an Eye on Regulations ...

As more and more regulations get introduced around the globe, it’s vital that your business understand how they could impact your current and planned AI programs. Your governance strategy will enable you to continuously monitor and adapt to them along the way. 

... But Don’t Put off Progress

In the face of the accompanying uncertainty that comes with AI, it’s crucial that businesses don’t let analysis paralysis hinder their innovation. Businesses must keep doing all of these things alongside running their business, collaborating with their technical teams, and improving their current programs.
