AI-driven revolution: How to drive your business success with strategic AI use cases

AI, a black box for some, a miracle cure for others. That is why it is important to understand the potential and limitations of AI in general and in business applications. We have identified a variety of successful AI use cases in different industries and functions. The Applied AI Use Case Compass helps you navigate through the landscape of possible AI applications and find the most relevant use cases for you!

How can AI be used in a meaningful way?

Before looking at identifying relevant use cases, it is important to understand the capabilities of AI. AI encompasses a wide range of technologies, including generative AI to create text, images or code, as well as areas such as machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision and more. These technologies allow systems to learn to think logically and make decisions, often beyond the capabilities of humans. Understanding the possibilities, but also the limitations, of artificial intelligence forms the basis for identifying potential applications.

What do you want to achieve with AI?

Start by aligning AI initiatives with your overall business goals. Consider what goals you want to achieve, whether it's increasing operational efficiency, improving customer satisfaction, automating repetitive tasks or building new business lines. This clarity creates a strategic framework for identifying use cases that directly impact your strategic goals.

Where do you find entry points for optimisation?

A crucial step is to identify inefficient areas or bottlenecks in your business processes. These can be manual, time-consuming tasks, areas with high error rates or those where human judgment is subjective and could benefit from data-driven insights. These bottlenecks are often ideal for the use of AI.
