Webinar: From Pilot to Profit - How Financial Leaders Drive AI Impact, Not Abandoned Projects
The Economist recently reported that 42% of companies are abandoning their AI pilots. This isn't just about data silos or legacy systems; it's often about making bad choices on where to apply AI. In the UK financial services sector, where 75% of firms are now leveraging AI, the challenge isn't just what AI can do, but how to deploy it at scale, embed it into core processes, and ensure it accelerates the things that truly matter to your business. This webinar is for financial leaders eager to move beyond isolated experiments and ensure their significant AI investments deliver measurable, strategic impact. We'll draw upon key insights from our "Artificial Intelligence for Leaders" course, which helps leaders define clear purpose and value for AI initiatives.
Join us for an insightful discussion with:
Oliver Munn, Director of AI Capability, Faculty: A leader at the forefront of AI capability, helping Faculty's clients upskill their teams and deliver AI-driven improvements in their performance. Their expertise is in making change happen, helping organisations to transform their operations and performance through the use of technology. They will share Faculty's proven methodologies for identifying high-impact AI opportunities and ensuring successful, scalable implementation.
Key Points We'll Cover:
The Pitfall of Unclear Ambition: Many AI initiatives start with a 'solution in search of a problem,' or focus on 'low-hanging fruit' that doesn't move the needle on core business objectives. This often leads to pilots that fail to scale or deliver real value. We'll explore why 42% of AI pilots fail and how in financial services, where the stakes are high, making bad choices on where to apply AI can be incredibly costly. A clear ambition is your compass.
Defining Your AI Ambition: The Three Pillars: Learn how to ask the right questions to ensure your AI initiatives focus on core business objectives. A 'good AI ambition' isn't just a vague aspiration; it's a statement that guides your entire AI journey.
From Ambition to Actionable Use Cases & The 6-Step Process: Discover how to turn broad AI ambitions into focused, viable AI use cases that align with strategic goals, leveraging Faculty's structured approach to AI roadmap design. Once your ambition is clear, the next step is translating it into concrete, actionable AI use cases. Gain insights into constructing a strategic AI roadmap that ensures sustainable growth and innovation, moving from fragmented initiatives to coherent integration, including Faculty's 6-step process for designing an AI roadmap.
Embedding AI for Operational Impact: Discover how to move AI beyond analytics and into embedded, intelligent software that enhances your product or core business functions. Understand how to implement the "boring-but-important details" of adoption that drive success and scale.
