Phase 1: Identify target business processes that can be optimized with AI and ML, estimate the business value that can be realized with these improvements, and document a practical vision of the ideal future state
Phase 2: Establish practical requirements and create a roadmap for development of teams and business processes necessary for AI and ML to help achieve this vision
Phase 3: Select technologies and tools that align with your organization's target maturity level for AI and the degree of specialization required
Phase 4: Identify “low-hanging fruit” and other initial projects that can quickly return ROI, build momentum, and establish organizational confidence in the AI program
Phase 5: Present this plan to senior leadership and other stakeholders, generate interest, and establish buy-in that will be required to establish a successful program
