Executive sponsorship, a strong data foundation and having ‘analytics artists’ are among ways to scale up AI initiatives beyond the pilot stage
Most business executives believe they need to harness artificial intelligence (AI) to stay ahead of the pack and grow their business, but they often fail to scale up their AI initiatives across their organisations, according to an Accenture expert.
Citing a global study by Accenture, Lee Joon Seong, managing director for applied intelligence in ASEAN at the consulting firm, noted that while 88% of global executives believed they needed AI for their business to survive, the same proportion also struggled to scale AI initiatives beyond the pilot stage.
