GenAI is creating a massive wave of use cases and experiments—and there's the rub. Such efforts are relatively easy to launch but can chew up resources without creating much value.   It is certainly possible to capture real value from GenAI, but it’s more difficult than meets the eye. To steer clear of death by a thousand pilots, leaders must concentrate on GenAI applications that will genuinely impact the business. They need a business-led technology roadmap, a skilled team, and a clear focus on the essentials. What does this look like in practice?

A lot goes into determining what is the right set of AI solutions- an AI strategy - before a solution is built (or most likely adapted)

Simply put, only go for GenAI if you have identified a meaningful use case that will make a real difference for your business. Don't adopt technology just to get started. #GenAI #McKinsey

The emergence of AI has sparked interest among enterprises. What's more important: deploying AI because it's readily available, or using it as a tool to enhance services and solve problems? Just because AI is easily accessible doesn't diminish the fact that it's a tool, similar to SDA, SDWAN, Cloud-based solutions, and Agile methodologies (and many more). Don't rush into deployment and try to be a pioneer in your industry but not realise the benefits. Remember, the competition isn't solely about having the latest and most advanced technology. There are other factors at play, such as strategic deployment and thoughtful utilisation. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #EnterpriseAI #AIDeployment #TechStrategy #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #BusinessStrategy #Techtrends #Agile #CloudSolution #SDWAN #ServiceEnhancement #TechAdoption #StrategicPlanning
