Data Strategy vs. AI Strategy with Haroon Abbu, Bell and Howell

Overview

The imperative around Generative AI is clear: embrace it or be left behind. Service Council research continues to show that AI investment continues to climb in terms of priority. However, while service leaders are readily getting the go ahead for AI pilots, many are hitting a wall when it comes to bringing AI to scale. One of the primary impediments is the lack of a foundational data strategy which serves the purpose of building a platform for AI to achieve scale.

On the next episode of the inService™ Podcast Live, host John Carroll taps into the AI expertise of our guest, Haroon Abbu, SVP of Digital, Data and Analytics at Bell and Howell. Haroon will address the “how-to” of implementing AI: how do service leaders build the right team, data strategy, change management initiatives and business case to successfully realize AI at scale?
