The AI Roadmap – Executing AI Strategy within your Organization
Blog: NASSCOM Official Blog
Having a strategy for AI implementation and/or digital transformation isn’t enough. Let’s face it, you’re seeking to redefine processes within the organization by restructuring its fabric. AI implementation must result from measuring internal and external capabilities of the organization along with adequate risk assessment.
Join the puzzle pieces together
If you’ve limited strategic mapping and the applicability of AI to specific parts or processes of an organization, you will end up losing focus of the organization as a whole. The Gestalt School of thought in Psychology works as a great example in this case. When trying to make sense of the world around us, the human mind tends to perceive objects and beings as parts of greater and more complex systems instead of being isolated or in parts according to Gestalt psychologists.

Similarly, as business owners or leaders initiating AI change, you need to have a macro perspective for the firm by gauging the capability to select the appropriate taxonomy of AI and clearly define KPI’s for success measurement instead of having a micro perspective on domain specific costs or processes within specific verticals.
The solution? Sharpen the Axe
Yes, Lincoln’s theory of sharpening the axe before chopping a tree still works.
You must prepare well to execute well.
Preparing to execute AI strategy in your organization involves focusing on and having clarity with respect to:
- Budget Allocation
- Resource Allocation
- Assessment of Organizational Capability
- Process Awareness
- Risk Assessment
So far so good, but how do I execute?
Let’s get to business. The real deal.
