Why It's Important

An Understanding of advanced analytics and artificial intelligence (AA&AI) is an imperative for Boards of Directors, CEOs, and Division Presidents

Fiduciary responsibilities

The investment strategy for AA&AI is not only an IT issue---success requires a range of investments to capture value creation.

Monetizing data assets is critical for business success, and is also emerging as a contentious issue with stakeholder and advocacy groups.

Strategy creation and oversight

AA&AI represents an opportunity for strategic advantage but also poses a threat from disruptive, non-traditional, data and software driven competitors. Score-carding and readiness assessments are particularly valuable for companies to build advantage and prevent disruption in industries where AA&AI will increase in importance in the near future.

Talent and succession planning

Senior executives need to have a working knowledge of AA&AI in order to fulfill on their strategic business planning and change management responsibilities. BODs and the C-Suite need a clear framework and definition of what this means for their business.

What We Do

We help senior leaders master the intuition behind advanced analytics and AI so they can drive business growth.

Success with advanced analytics requires a cultural transformation. New skills, new practices, and new organization structures. We help senior leaders succeed with this transformation. We believe that executive management must have a 'working knowledge' of these topics in order to lead that transformation.

How We Do It

Our services are focused on three types of engagements:

We help senior leaders master the intuition behind advanced analytics and AI so they can drive business growth.

  • Short, intensive executive training
    These sessions ground senior leaders in the challenges and opportunities that AA&AI present for competitive advantage and improved business results. We believe the effective application of AA&AI is more of a leadership opportunity than a technical issue.
  • Score-carding organization capabilities
    Company efforts are assessed for organization readiness and effectiveness with AA&AI. We believe that many companies are not gaining the full benefit of AA&AI due to issues with prioritization, organization strategy, and skill sets.
  • Executive coaching
    Our team includes executive coaches who have the knowledge and skills to engage senior people who are responsible for increasing the business value from AA&AI. Our broad field of view and executive business experience enables us to accelerate the learning curve for these executives.
