Gen AI is the current disruptor in the business world with its advanced AI and machine learning capabilities. It's not just for those cutting-edge tech firms anymore; its user-friendly interface and content creation tools are quickly being implemented by businesses into programs and systems that are used every day across the globe.

Having the ability to:

  • Summarise and analyse large sets of data or documents quickly
  • Create content and begin ideation
  • Built virtual assistants
  • Translate documents from different languages
  • Develop and write code

All at this is at the tip of your finger, and in doing so, has sped up and improved efficiency across many different functions from marketing to procurement to HR.  However, its success hinges on good data and smart prompts. To really make an impact, Gen AI must be woven into the fabric of your business operations.

Gen-AI solutions across different functional areas may provide short-term benefits, but it is unlikely to deliver significant long-term advantages. In fact, it could create a technology legacy problem in the future. Instead, a more strategic approach is recommended, in which Gen AI can complement and enhance existing transformation initiatives and can be ingrained within the organisation’s operating and technology model.
