What's included in the Data to AI Roadmap program?

The Data to AI Roadmap program is delivered in phases to ensure both strategic alignment and practical outcomes.

Phase 1 – Discovery, process mapping, and preparation

Firstly, we get familiar with your business, its strategy and goals, to get the full picture of what we’re dealing with. 

We then analyze your current processes, workflows, existing data solutions, and your whole operational environment to uncover automation potential and pain points, while mapping data flows and existing system capabilities. 

Phase 2 – End-user and business workshops

Together with your teams, we run structured workshops to surface the challenges, requirements, priorities, and user perspectives. This helps to ding possibilities for the needed data solutions and improves the users’ commitment to the final solution.

Phase 3 – Use case evaluations

We identify use cases and assess them for complexity, feasibility, impact, and strategic importance, as well as their relation to one another on a high level. By the end of this phase, we have defined a clear set of “quick wins” and longer-term opportunities for you. 

Phase 4 – Summary and action plan including recommended next steps 

We create a tailored roadmap that outlines the required data capabilities, integrations, and governance practices needed to move toward your new data-driven operating model.

We create a high level plan of implementation of the chosen use cases, and you’ll get a summary and description of the findings during the design work as well as the expected benefits. Finally, you’ll have clear definitions of the recommended next steps to proceed with case prototyping and a foundation for implementation, including readiness for AI and advanced analytics. 

Each case is weighted together with your team, based on the criticality, importance, added value and relationship with other development work. This gives you a clear vision on how to proceed with the development.

Business value and expected outcomes

As a result of the Data to AI Roadmap program, your organization can expect the following benefits:

• Recognize data development opportunities that are meaningful for your people and your business
• Improves understanding of data requirements within business processes
• Organically improves desire for data-drivenness and engagement of your people
  • More often than not, people better engage with the end result and are more willing to adapt new ways of working when they participate in design work and are allowed to communicate their own needs. More on that here. 
• Provides a structured way to design data products and recognize use cases for data based solutions
• Opportunity to scale your initiatives from one business area to another.

A: Yes, though the best results come from a mix of on-site workshops and online sessions. Observation days and co-creation workshops benefit from direct engagement.

Q: Will we get concrete next steps or just analysis?

A: Yes; you’ll walk away with a prioritized roadmap, use case evaluations, and actionable recommendations ready to be projectized.

Q: We are already data-driven. What more can you improve?

A: A follow-up question: do you have all the following in place?

• Reliable data foundation: trusted, well-governed, and accessible data that everyone can rely on

• Data-driven culture: decisions are guided by data, not gut feeling, and employees have the literacy to use it

• Embedded analytics & AI: insights and automation are built directly into everyday processes and products.
