Many organizations are looking for a tailored framework to get started in their AI journey and help them prioritize potential projects based on relative effort and estimated return. EK’s Strategy approach consists of five core factors that are within the fabric of any organization that unify all aspects of operationalizing AI, resulting in the creation of practical recommendations and an actionable program roadmap.

EK will evaluate your organization on the following five components of Enterprise AI, providing detailed reports on your assessed current state, desired target state, and customized roadmap activities to reach your target:

• Organizational Readiness
• Current State of Data & Content
• Technical Capabilities
• Skill Sets & Roles
• Operations & Sustainability

EK will create a detailed design and framework based on prioritized needs, including customized AI models and solutions architecture that leverage secure and sustainable AI tailored to your organization’s core data, content, and systems. We will then develop a customized, iterative, task-based plan to achieve organizational AI use cases, and implement your prioritized pilots that take into account your organization’s pain points, pilot value, and technical complexity.

By the end of the AI Readiness, Benchmarking & Strategy engagement, your organization will have:

• A deeper understanding of the building blocks needed to leverage AI across the enterprise.
• A completed assessment that will uncover existing gaps in any of the five core AI dimensions, enabling you to set clear organizational priorities to address them.
• Short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals for establishing, sustaining, and evolving your AI maturity.
• Measurable success criteria and key performance indicators (KPIs) for tracking progress over time.
• A roadmap and AI pilots backlog with fully customized, iterative, task-based plans to achieve your AI transformation, alongside considerations for making decisions that will prevent the accumulation of future technical debt.
