Your AI Prototypes Are A Waste of Time

Building AI prototypes before mapping your processes is like putting the cart before the horse. It’s a recipe for wasted time and resources.

Here’s where people go wrong: they get dazzled by the potential of AI and rush to build prototypes without a clear understanding of their existing processes. In most cases, this leads to solutions that don’t align with the actual needs of the business.

What we see is that companies often end up with AI systems that are impressive in isolation but fail to integrate seamlessly into their operations. They miss the mark because they haven’t taken the time to understand the nuances of their workflows and the specific pain points that need addressing.

Moreover, without a clear process map, it’s challenging to measure the ROI of an AI initiative. You can’t optimize what you haven’t quantified. By mapping your processes first, you gain clarity on where automation will have the most significant impact, allowing you to prioritize efforts and resources effectively.

Instead of rushing to build, take a step back. Start by understanding your operations inside out. Identify the bottlenecks, the repetitive tasks, and the areas ripe for innovation. Only then should you consider how AI can be a part of the solution.
