Luiz Cesar Baptistella, CEO, Aoop, the leading consultancy capable of solving automation and acceleration of digital strategies for companies in Brazil, says Digital Transformation with AI is not a destination but a continuous journey.
It is undeniable that Artificial Intelligence is the technology of the moment. Thanks to its high analytical capacity and task automation, practically all companies, regardless of sector or size, are reviewing their processes to find optimization methods through this technology.
It’s no surprise that, according to Stanford University, almost $1 trillion has been invested in technology solutions in the past decade. More than that, 98% of global organizations, as reported by Iron Mountain, believe that defining an AI-specialized leader will be crucial in the near future.
Despite this promising scenario and the fact that the theoretical concept of AI benefits is already “worn out,” many corporations still find it challenging to define the best path to harness the technology’s potential in practice.
The first step to optimizing routines through AI is to identify the corporation’s needs and goals, to then find solutions and tools that can enhance functionality.
To assist in this process of revitalization based on current trends, a step-by-step guide on how to optimize corporate routines through technology can help:
Structuring Strategy The first stage for AI implementation in companies is a detailed internal review of current systems. It is through this preliminary work that areas and activities where automation and data analysis can have the greatest impact can be identified.
In this planning stage, specific scopes and objectives that the technology should meet will be defined. Once this stage is completed, the integration phase begins – selecting the most suitable AI tools and training teams for the new digitalized role.
From the start, clear communication of the purposes and expected benefits of the implementation minimizes internal disagreements.
During the execution of changes, continuous monitoring and adaptation to emerging needs are fundamental, as AI is a technology that learns and evolves with its users. Therefore, constant feedback and adjustments to algorithms are necessary to fine-tune solution accuracy.
Technology advances rapidly, and keeping the system updated with the latest innovations is essential to sustain market competitiveness. Thus, once the implementation is complete, the process should not be considered finished. Maintenance must be part of the company’s routine.
Future always closer With well-executed meticulous work, corporations can ensure various gains through the application of AI in their routine. Successful implementation can revolutionize practically all areas of corporate operation, from internal operations to final customer relationships.
Given the range of improvement possibilities, I emphasize the importance of continuous study on AI trends. Staying updated with new developments ensures a significant competitive advantage, as it guarantees constant modernized operations.
It is worth noting, however, that despite the benefits, AI implementation in corporate operations is far from challenge-free. Resistance to change, integration with legacy systems, lack of technical expertise or financial resources, and security concerns are just a few common obstacles that hinder this work.
Even so, it is important to overcome these difficulties to be closer to an enhanced operation in all spheres.
Digital Transformation with AI is not a destination but a continuous journey of adaptation and learning.
Companies that recognize this and invest in evolution position themselves to lead their markets.
