How to find business-aligned AI opportunities

If you plan to catch the AI train at some point in your business dealings, there are two ways to discover AI opportunities that are aligned with your business.

The First starts from a new business problem you are looking to address. The breakdown of the problem reveals that parts of it can benefit from AI. As this happens organically, I’ll refer to this as the “organic discovery” of AI opportunities.

The second approach is to actively investigate existing processes, customer pain points, and legacy systems in the organization with the goal of finding opportunities that would benefit from AI. I’ll refer to this as “proactive discovery” of AI opportunities.

Both approaches can give you better insight into great opportunities for AI usage that are tightly aligned with your business.
