Strategy & Transformation (2024)

AI only creates value at a high level of maturity, but most companies are just starting their journey.

To create value through the application of AI, your company should systematically reach a higher level of AI maturity. This will enable your company to remain competitive and to actively achieve competitive advantages through the application of AI. appliedAI offers you support in the AI transformation of your company: from the analysis of the competition to the definition of a suitable target for the application of AI. In doing so, we consider not only technical aspects but also organizational and personnel aspects and, thus, develop a holistic AI strategy.

We draw on our proven approaches, which we have already used to support many companies, among them EnBW and MTU Aero Engines, in their AI transformation. For this purpose, we have developed the appliedAI AI strategy house, which considers all relevant dimensions necessary for a successful AI transformation: starting with the AI ambition and the use case portfolio to the enabling factors such as the organizational design, expertise, data and technology, and execution competence.

In order to achieve value creation through Artificial Intelligence, your company must embark on a journey towards higher AI maturity. This will enable your company to gain a competitive advantage through the use of AI.
