A comprehensive framework encompassing all the vital parameters is necessary before making the business case for working on an AI use case.

Here is a simple, yet powerful, use case prioritisation matrix based on a combination of business impact and ease of implementation considering existing capabilities and limitations of the enterprise. The below framework, prioritises the use case categories and provides a directional view for enterprises who want to start or scale their AI journey.
Enterprises can start with “Quick wins” – use cases that have high business impact and but are also easy to implement, or “Big bets” – use cases having high business impact but also higher implementation effort, or retailers can look to implement “Incremental” use cases – uses cases that are easily implementable but may not have a huge impact on business.
The above graphic highlights illustrative use cases in each category.
