Obvious areas leaders can use AI
You can get a robot to make you coffee. But AI will better serve you if you let it have fun with data.
Decisions driven by data and insights are less questioned and make more sense. Being backed up with data on your side makes your decisions trustworthy.
Intuition will be there, but why not use data you already have? Find trends, gaps, and insights.
AI-powered leadership touches:
Predictive analytics: Forecast future trends, outcomes, and events. No need to wait until it happens, predictive analytics can help you get ahead of the game. See potential opportunities and risks and adapt your strategy and goals.
Automation: Automate everything repetitive. Streamline routine tasks, pipelines, capacity management, processes, etc. Free up time for more strategic thinking and innovation. Automation helps optimize workflows, improve productivity, and reduce operational costs.
Customer insights: AI can get you insights about consumer behavior, preferences, and needs. You may love market research. But the truth is, you probably have loads of data you can already use. Understand the target audience and customer satisfaction. You will be on track to personalize marketing efforts.
Does it mean you don’t need analysts anymore?
No. Because to make data-driven decisions, you need both algorithms to process large volumes of data and intuition. Data needs a story.
