Artificial Intelligence (AI) Advisory Services

The exponential growth in data and computing power has fuelled the advancement of data-driven technologies such as AI & Machine Learning. AI applications have penetrated various industries, from automotive, healthcare, and financial services to software, robotics, and electronics. AI can be used by organisations to provide new goods and services, boost productivity, enhance competitiveness, ultimately leading to economic growth and better quality of life. As with any new technology, however, AI also introduces new risk, ethical, legal, and governance challenges. To survive and thrive in the coming mega-disruption, boards and C-suites must proactively deal with the AI challenge and opportunity. Embedding AI into corporate strategy and governance does not need to be overwhelming. As with other technological developments, a company needs to understand the competitive landscape, evaluate the risks, identify the controls, and build organisational talent and resilience to deploy the proper strategy and governance for AI. We provide a suite of AI Advisory Services to help organisations with the development and deployment of their AI strategy, products, and services.

AI Ethics Risk & Governance

As the use and impact of Autonomous and Intelligent systems (A/IS) become pervasive, there is a growing need for organisations to become more ethically aware, increase levels of transparency, create a sustainable culture of AI ethics, and mitigate bias within their A/IS. Adopting and practising an ethics by design approach is a critical differentiator for organisations, it can help build trust with stakeholders employees and customers, avoid a business or communications crisis, and build competitive advantage. Business leaders understand the value that A/IS can bring, and the risk of ignoring the ethical AI issue. Using our proprietary AI Ethics Risk & Governance tools we help organisations understand and prioritise the actions that will have the greatest impact on AI in their unique context, and understand the debates that guide AI regulation. Our team of AI Consultants provide consultation on the overall process of AI Ethics and Governance.

AI Data Readiness

Having the ability to harness and operationalise data at scale is fundamental to building AI applications. However with the vast amount of organised and unorganised data available, teams need solutions to enable the underlying data to successfully support A/IS use cases. Insufficient training data, lack of a data strategy, data quality, poor data governance, and misalignment to business priorities are among the most common reasons why AI projects fail. To combat this and help our clients leverage the power of AI, we used our extensive data and A/IS experience and developed our proprietary AI Data Readiness Assessment tools which have been proven to save huge amounts of time, effort and expense while tackling complex AI products. The AI Data Readiness Assessment is a foundational step for developing an effective AI Data Strategy that identifies high ROI AI projects, assess AI opportunities, and guides the overall AI strategy.

AI Maturity

Identifying the areas with the biggest potential to enhance AI utilisation, and the policies and principals needed to establish AI capabilities are major challenges for many organisations. Operationalising AI requires more than determining what pain points can be eliminated using AI. It requires focus and investment across multiple domains – data, strategy, product and service development, ethics and governance, technology, and organisation and culture. Each domain should be designed help organisations understand and prioritise the actions that will have the greatest impact in their unique context. Our proprietary AI Maturity Assessment tools help organisations understand their level of AI Maturity and assess their ability to adopt AI across each of these domains. After undertaking an AI Maturity Assessment clients typically find some areas need further attention. Our other AI Advisory services can be used to drill down into specific areas and create an action plan to address the problems they are trying to solve. All of our AI services have been designed to be part of our ‘AI Enabled Business’ framework to help you understand where you are in your AI journey and implement the changes needed to deliver Autonomous and Intelligent Systems (A/IS).

A/IS Product Development

AI product development

Successful AI product management is about uncovering the right data and then figuring out how to use that data to design an innovative product that delights customers and drives business objectives. Our A/IS Product Development Service is designed to help Product Teams, Project Teams, and other stakeholders to understand and prioritise the actions that will have the greatest impact on their A/IS programs. It will help to undertake a technology assessment, develop a business case for the product, define success metrics, scope the dataset, plan the model development, and build a post deployment monitoring plan for best in class results. Whether the demand is for an initial Proof of Concept (POC), or bringing a new AI product through the development, pilot, and production phases, our A/IS Product Development service will help you get answers to questions about the viability and impact of an A/IS product/ service to your organisation and/or your consumers.

 

A/IS Project Deployment

It is not easy for organisations to incorporate autonomous and Intelligent Systems (A/IS) into their existing Business Intelligence (BI) systems. However combining A/IS with BI can have a widespread impact on the insights an organisation can get from its data. We provide experienced AI leadership and a safe hand to help marshal the delivery of your AI projects.
