Accelerating AI Adoption: A 4-Step Approach for Organizations
By Dr. Leon Herszon, Ph.D.
Abstract
In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not just an advantage but a necessity for organizations aiming to remain competitive. This white paper presents IIL Consulting’s structured, four-step approach to accelerating AI adoption. A follow-up paper will focus on practical applications and case studies.
These four steps—Knowledge Alignment, AI Maturity Assessment, Opportunities Identification, and Implementation Plan—offer a framework for organizations to start harnessing the full potential of AI and drive sustainable growth. It can also be applied to a business unit or region within the organization.
