Discussing and prioritizing existing business challenges is a critical step to ensure that the AI solutions developed later are focused on addressing real, impactful problems. By carefully organizing and selecting the most relevant challenges, participants create a strong foundation for a successful and targeted AI initiative.
Let’s summarize what you’ve learned:
- Presentation of Challenges: Begin the workshop by having participants present the challenges they prepared in advance. If not prepared, give them 10 minutes to write down their challenges using the provided template.
- Discussing Challenges: Review the existing business challenges presented independently of the technology to ensure AI addresses real problems.
- Organizing Challenges: Challenges are shared on a whiteboard, with duplicate ideas being discarded and similar ones grouped together for clarity.
- Prioritization: If there are too many challenges, participants must prioritize and select the most important ones to focus on, ensuring relevance.
- Team Division: If the workshop has more than 6 participants, divide them into breakout teams, each working on up to 4 selected challenges to maintain focus and manage time effectively.
