Byte-size Briefing: Successful AI Projects

Turning AI hype into reality

This Byte-size Briefing covers how you get started with AI and then develop it in a way that adds value and keeps you secure.   

Many leaders are conflicted about AI and automation.

Some believe AI offers great opportunities in theory, but in practice, it is overhyped, yields poor returns, and carries considerable risks.

Their instinct is to lead in AI to avoid falling behind, or worse, becoming irrelevant. But how do you capitalise on this new frontier in work and get a good return?

This Byte-Size Briefing is non-technical and addresses common concerns of leaders:

• “I know we should be doing something with AI, but what?"
• “I feel behind, and I don’t want to be. How do I progress?”
• “We’ve tried things but haven’t seen real value yet.”
• "We're enthusiastic, but is AI use well directed?"

We've broken down the half-hour briefing into these valuable Byte-size videos:

Facing the challenge

How and why AI moves fast. A framework for understanding your AI maturity and successfully building your internal AI skills.

Real-world use cases

What kinds of successful AI projects are organisations running when they start using AI? How do they then develop AI into more operational areas?
Steve, The Final Step's Technical Director, describes real-world use cases that start at a "crawl" and progress to a "walk" as your AI use evolves.

Advanced real-world examples

At the most mature level of AI development, how are organisations using AI to fundamentally transform the way they work?
Alex Cheshunt of Pax8 explores successful real-world use cases.

To integrate AI successfully, you need supporting structures.

Regulation and AI

A warning about why it matters. The five principles of UK AI regulation. The role your sector's governing body plays in regulation. Your own responsibilities.

Prioritise your goal, not the AI tool

The best return on investment is realised by those who focus on choosing and then solving the most appropriate business problem. Have lots of ideas, sift them and prioritise them using a solid methodology.

Human-centric AI

We all have the same tools; it's how we use them that makes a difference. Your people are your differentiator and embody your values and culture. Get the best out of your team in order to get the best from AI.

Measuring your return on investment

How to measure, both quantitatively and qualitatively, at all stages of your AI project to demonstrate a return. AI tools, regulation, and your data will constantly change, requiring ongoing monitoring.

Data is your crown jewels

It's easy to forget, amid the excitement around AI, that there are considerable risks. You can share sensitive data inadvertently, AI can hallucinate and misdirect you, and what is the emerging regulation around AI?
