BASIC AI ASSESSMENT STRATEGY

Companies with a requirement to learn and adopt AI basics should focus on AI as ethical, secure, productive and affordable. Generative AI can be used to deliver profitable and successful AI adoption. GenAI is very easy to use and offers an interesting approach to learning AI which can be practical, effective and an be fun; especially with the proven steps that are rewarding results and encouraging progress. Here's a high level outline of our approach:

1- The look back
2- The look forward
3- The look inside
4- Think like a neural network
5- Act like a robot
6- Match AI's power and inexhaustible data with the deep space in your brain

We can help you do all of the above tasks to learn, adopt and leverage the best fitting generative AI. In addition we will do a data assessment, data preparation (if required), as well as train on prompt engineering (to help you talk to AI).

AI Strategy Assessment with a Trusted Advisor

A professional AI strategy and assessment starts with a trusted advisory relationship. Here is a definition of a trusted advisor:
A trusted advisor combines deep expertise in artificial intelligence with strong business acumen to guide organizations in effectively understanding, adopting, and leveraging AI technologies to create real, measurable value. This role goes far beyond simply recommending tools or writing code — it positions the consultant as a strategic partner (often at the executive or senior executive level) who builds long-term trust by delivering honest, pragmatic, and outcome-focused guidance.

AI Strategy in Summary:
A clear, actionable AI strategy aligned with overall business goals.
Prioritized AI project(s) for practicality and measurable outcomes.
A sustainable framework for ongoing AI innovation and risk management.

AI PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Project management has, in the past, been a very challenging job. The skills for multi-level communicating, planning, risk monitoring, budget controlling, resource balancing and issues resolving can demand almost super human ability for this role. AI is making all of it much easier. AI's has an affinity for automating repetitive tasks and for discovering important patterns/trends in project progress. This is only surpassed by AI's ability to seamlessly (when setup correctly) access, analyze and virtually memorize vast amounts of data. As project management teams, adopt AI tasks work as listed below are growing .

AI Regulations and guidelines

The challenge is identifying repetitive tasks and setting up AI to automatically use data to complete needed and routine tasks. his includes the safeguards and vetting as well as the regulations and policies for your organizations AI adoption.

AI Integration Plan These plans blend Data Science & AI consulting into project management. In other words to use AI to facilitate project management deliverables. This can be done by integrating generative AI with basic and everyday project tasks works. This starts with a practical, measurable and obtainable AI integration plan which progressive builds on the power of AI while allowing your employee to learn AI.

Enhancing and automating project communications

AI tools today can take meetings dictation; then identify issues, actions, questions, and other pertinent data from meetings; draft required post meeting communications, assign action items, draft communications to ensure actions are delivered and assist with monitoring actionable tasks.

Create structured documents

ChatGPT exploded this process which now allows AI to draft virtually any type of document like reports, designs, project documents, risk mitigation plans, risk matrixes, and issues logs. AI is not limited to text file generation but can create many other files like spreadsheets, charts & graphs, diagrams, images, audio file. All with automated language translation.

Integrating Additional Repetitive Tasks

If AI is a strong tool for delivering reminders, resource scheduling and project reporting where does that leave the project manager> First and foremost all AI work should be vetted and approved, this is a project manager task. Secondly, if many short cycle and high frequency project management tasks can be mostly handled by AI, the project manager has more time, and probably more creative energy, for the truly complex issues and collaboration and strategic thinking; which leads well toward strategic planning and profitability.

AI as Personal Assistant (the GenAI bot)

AI as a personal assistant - Since AI services mimic intelligent tasks assistance that can work 24/7, 7 days a week without breaks or coffee using them as a personal assistant make sense. After multiple AI integrations are successfully done one option to bring AI onboard with the organization is to share it with others. Making AI a personal assistant; even giving it a personal name or nickname can be done. Then setup up training, access, piloting or Prototyping is an step towards corporate AI delivery. A recent class of 150 teachers and administrators met for 1 hour to learn how to create personal AI bots. This soup to nuts training lasted 30 minutes (for instruction) and left 30 minutes remaining (for students to design, build, test and demonstrate working AI bots). And they did it very successfully. They perceived a problem; collected and vetted data with access, defined their role and background to the GenAI; then added the requirements for what they wanted their working chatbot to do. In a series of 3-5 sequential steps (depending on the complexity of their request) students successfully presented their brand new working chat bots.
