Building AI Strategies for Businesses
The art of crafting an AI strategy through Wardley Maps
Background — Spearheading AI Strategy at an Established Bank
Prior to founding Data-Centric Solutions, I spearheaded the development, execution, and implementation of the AI strategy at an established bank. Although relatively green in delivering at such scale, I accepted the job with enthusiasm. Dispelling the initial feelings of imposter syndrome, I reassured myself that the worst-case scenario would involve making a few mistakes, learning lessons, and professional growth.
It became abundantly clear that AI strategy was significantly more intricate than I had initially perceived. Throughout my career, I have had the good fortune of being involved with both successful and unsuccessful strategies. I want to share some of the valuable insights I gained, and hope this can serve as a foundation for others to build on.
Inspired by Wardley Mapping
I initially discovered Wardley maps via recommendation from a trusted mentor. For those unfamiliar, Wardley maps are an approach to system mapping. As the name suggests, the method was developed by Simon Wardley.
