Decide what AI should change and what it should not
An AI strategy connects the board's question to choices about where to invest, what to build, and how the company will run it.
Strategy is a set of choices
It gives the leadership team one direction for investment, implementation and governance.
-
Choose what should change
Name where AI can change customer value, cost, speed or the way the company works. Leave the rest alone.
-
Choose what happens first
Rank the opportunities as one portfolio. Decide what starts now, what depends on something else and what waits.
-
Choose how it will run
Set the data, ownership, governance and capabilities each decision requires. Strategy has to survive contact with implementation.
What it must settle
A useful strategy gives the leadership team answers it can use when the next AI proposal arrives.
Where to invest
The business areas and decisions where AI can create an advantage worth funding.
What not to do
The ideas that do not fit the direction, lack the required ground or should wait.
Build, buy or partner
Which capabilities should belong to the company and which should come from somewhere else.
How it will be governed
Who decides, who owns each use, what data it may reach and how results are reviewed.
Make the strategy concrete
The capability is broader than one engagement. Start with the question your company needs answered.
