Setting an Organizational Strategy for AI to Drive Business Transformation

Contributors: Elise Watson

Companies across industries are confronted with technology disruption that regularly impacts decision-making at all levels of the organization. Digital transformation has been on the minds of CIOs for almost a decade, yet as soon as their organization grasps a new technology, there’s a new frontier changing the way teams collaborate. Business leaders who stay at the forefront of transformation do so by leveraging technology to enable change and empower the organization to be part of the transformational vision. They also prioritize setting an organizational strategy for AI that helps drive that transformation.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is another frontier of digital transformation evolving even faster than other technologies, with promise to enable organizational change for the better. AI can enable employees to increase productivity, improve well-being, and streamline manual repetitive tasks and more that ultimately lead to organizational-level improvements, ranging from topline growth to bottom-line cost efficiencies. 89% of employees and business decision-makers with access to automation and AI-powered tools feel more fulfilled. This fulfillment is believed to be attributed to their ability to spend time on work that truly matters. The spectrum of AI tools is broad – ranging from predictive analytics, Machine Learning (ML), generative AI, chatbots, and more. 

To truly harness the power of AI, business leaders will need to set an intentional organizational strategy that offers the right balance of flexibility and control. We are just scratching the surface of what AI can do to empower employees and organizations, so it’s imperative to create a sustainable vision for what the organization’s future could look like and ultimately gain buy-in at all levels of the company.
