We envision AI business success can only be possible if there is constant attention to the transformation at hand within your organization. It should be contstantly driven and steered. This continuous drive can stem from someone internally or through the adoption of an AI Advisor to the Board.
In our Transformation-as-a-Service model, the AI Advisor to the Board holds a central position in crafting the company's long-term AI strategy. The main responsibility is to guide top-level decisions, setting the overall direction in AI. To ensure the Board remains updated and aligned, recurring sessions are organized. During these sessions, the Advisor guides Board members through the latest AI trends, provides updates on progress of current internal AI initiatives using KPIs, and references the AI Roadmap. Alternatively speaking, it can act as your virtual Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer (vCAIO).
Our '7 Pillars of Successful AI Transformation' framework serves as the basis for these AI Update sessions.
Although the Advisor primarily focuses on the broader AI vision rather than daily operations, they collaborate closely with other organizational stakeholders, to keep a keen eye on AI applicability within your organization.
The Advisor to the Board is a constant point of contact for everything concerning AI. Thus, he/she is well-acquainted with your organization and can provide you with the best advice.
The Advisor to the Board provides advice based on his/her experienced perspective, knowledge and skills. Ultimate decisions always rest with the Board of Directors or CEO (unless agreed otherwise).
