AI Adoption

Getting Started with AI: Proven Best Practices of Adoption

Artificial intelligence is transforming industries, and it is providing a competitive advantage to early adopters. But the headlines hide the fact that success isn’t the norm. While some companies are adopting artificial intelligence to great advantage - most companies are spinning their wheels with fruitless AI projects that go nowhere. This compact 25-page report is broken down into five key chapters: 1. Critical Executive Expectations in AI Adoption - Overcome the early hurdles to AI adoption by understanding how to assess costs and resources, and grounding your project in the right expectations of an AI project’s requirements. 2. Short-Term and Long-Term AI Investment - How to lock in the near-term benefits of AI by positioning your firm or department to win the long term, and handle unrealistic ROI-based objections or unrealistic ROI expectations. 3. AI Adoption Motives - Discover the three reasons for AI adoption that lead to successful outcomes and more likely ROI, and the two mistaken AI adoption motives that almost inevitably lead to wasted money, setbacks, and embarrassment. 4. Timing and Purchasing of AI - Learn when to adopt artificial intelligence, what to do directly before beginning an AI initiative, and a simple, powerful framework for build vs buy decision-making. 5. The Three Phases of AI Adoption - Discover the crucial importance of a post-pilot “incubation” phase for AI projects, and critical insights to turn a successful AI proof of concept (PoC) into a truly functional business solution - without making the costly errors that stop many PoCs cold.

Challenges, Trends, and AI Opportunities for Insurance Carriers

Challenges, Trends, and AI Opportunities for Insurance Carriers - An Executive Guide

Yet despite widespread data showing in detail the massive problem that is insurance fraud, many remain perhaps willingly ignorant as to the ubiquitousness of the problem. Insurance carriers don’t want to pay millions in fraudulent claims, but not at the risk of slowing down and upsetting already-on-edge claimants. In this white paper, we will take a closer look at two use cases from Shift Technology that demonstrate the promise of AI in the insurance space: detecting network fraud and integrating external data sources into fraud detection workflows.

How to Add Predictability to the Unpredictable

Increasingly, technology and business leaders look to project managers to make the execution — and success — of their AI projects more predictable.

Yet any AI project manager hoping to deliver on those expectations knows that success in AI projects requires end-to-end thinking rarely found in leadership today. In turn, educating executives that there is no magical black box with AI becomes mission-critical so that the development and execution of the project can satisfy the right expectations.
