📉 Is your IT team struggling to keep pace with innovations in AI and advanced analytics?🤔 Are you having a hard time moving from POCs to actionable analytics for your business? 🤩 Do you want to transform your business to be data-driven, cost effective and to improve your bottom line?For 20 years in advanced analytics I've witnessed firsthand from clients, consultants, and thought leaders that old methods and tools are not sustainable to deliver analytics and AI innovation at the pace required today. 🤑 However, there is an alternative approach that does not require massive budgets or multi-year timelines and that delivers innovative solutions and business benefits in weeks vs. months or years. I've visited hundreds of retail stores and helped dozens of Exec teams transform their businesses and have realized several key areas where business leaders struggle with innovation and analytics:1. Focus, time and skills - IT teams are overwhelmed with business-as-usual tasks and don't always have the startup mentality and technical skills required for rapid innovation2. Data hygiene and silos - dirty data makes integration across silos difficult, won't be trusted by the business and limits the benefits of advanced analytics3. Complexity and business value - why should business teams adopt AI and analytics if they are not understood or don't demonstrate clear business value4. "I need AI" - AI is not a cure-all or "easy button" that always provides the best solution for the use case at hand5. Need a Playbook - how to find and focus on Quick Win benefits for business teams while also delivering the overall strategy for the E-suite?To solve these challenges, I built an "A" team of cloud and AI developers, data engineers, business analysts, and decision scientists with an understanding of the industries we serve. We created a repeatable approach of rapid prototyping and iterative development that accelerates AI and analytics innovation for our clients so that we deliver intelligent solutions and tangible business benefits in weeks.
