Organizations around the world are trying to determine the best way to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into their day-to-day operations. It’s important that whatever decisions are made, they align with the organization’s overall goals.
This is how the leaders in Sparta’s health technology operations say organizations can approach the incorporation of AI:
- Education – Don’t assume anything based on a flashy advertisement. Before incorporating AI, gain a good understanding of which technologies perform what type of tasks. Artificial Intelligence can support three key business needs: automating processes, gaining insights from data, and engaging employees or customers. Keep these points in mind when reviewing technologies.
- Realistic goals – There are a lot of tools on the market that claim to be lifesavers, but managers should not be dazzled by every flashy new tool. They should focus on what the needs are within the organization, what their budget is, and what the calculable return on investment will be.
- Platforms vs Solutions – There are AI solutions and there are AI platforms. If you are looking for a one and done solution to a single challenge, then an AI solution may help you. Many organizations come to realize that a platform is best if you want to develop an approach for more AI adoption in the future.
According to financial experts, technology transformation is driven by the need for a competitive edge, growth opportunities, and new regulatory standards. Whatever reason your organization has for considering AI, you want to get it right. So many organizations have wasted money and time with the wrong technological solution, but if you have a good understanding of different technologies, as well as your needs, your company will be better positioned to make a good choice.
