Overview

AI transformation using SWOT-driven, reality-based action planning

Nearly 90% of digital transformation projects are considered failures by senior leadership. Many of those projects are focused on AI implementation. There is no template for how to correctly implement AI, it is dependent on the industry, competitors, an organization’s technology base, and the organization’s culture.

The SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) is an excellent tool for understanding the landscape in which an organization operates. Applying SWOT to an AI implementation provides insight for planning the initiative. A company needs to build on its strengths and isolate the weaknesses to reduce their impact. The company needs to leverage the opportunities, which may be fleeting, and mitigate the threats, which are also changing.

The SWOT enables an organization to create an action plan that is grounded in reality and biased towards success. This program focuses on the SWOT elements that are common in AI implementation initiatives.
