In Brief
Experts and leaders exchanging about the key components of Setting up an AI Centre of Excellence that lay the foundations for strategic scaling and industrialization.
In Detail
An increasing number of C-suite executives recognize the importance of leveraging AI to achieve business objectives, stay ahead of competitors, and tap into pioneering long-term opportunities. In fact, many even fear, if AI is not being incorporated in the organization, they run the risk of becoming irrelevant in their industry. Nevertheless, even with knowing the importance of adopting and scaling AI, many organizations get trapped in the Proof of Concept (PoC) loop.
We ask 20 leaders and cross-industry experts to shed light on the fundamentals of setting up an AI Centre of Excellence (AI CoE), take it to the next level, and even reveal the practical approaches of how organizations can break out of the PoC cycle, generate ROI faster and scale AI across the organization successfully.
Main Focus Points
– Fundamentals and key components
– Data availability, accessibility, and technological infrastructure
– Talents, teams, partners, and leadership
– Program planning from AI CoE kick off to PoC, strategic scaling, and industrialization
