Avoiding AI Pitfalls: Why Process Optimization Comes First

Maximize the Potential of AI: Your Guide to Smarter AI Implementations 

From streamlining workflows to boosting productivity, the potential of AI-driven automation is undeniable. But here’s the truth: AI isn’t a magic wand. If you try to automate broken processes, you’ll end up with faster chaos, not efficiency. 

 

Consider this: 

• 64% of business owners believe AI will increase productivity. 

• 42% say it will streamline job processes. 

• Yet over 80% of AI projects fail. 

The problem isn’t the technology—it’s the processes AI is being applied to. 

 

Why Optimizing Process is the First Step 

In our white paper, Don’t Automate Chaos: Optimize Processes Before AI Implementation, we share the cautionary tale of a fictional property damage insurance company that despite investing heavily in AI strategies failed to address their root problem. Four years later, they remain stuck in a cycle of costly quick fixes and inefficiency 

 

Key Questions for AI Success 

Before jumping into AI implementation, here are the foundational questions to avoid making these costly mistakes.  

1. What are we trying to achieve? 

1. Are our processes documented and aligned across teams? 

1. Do we have a clear data management strategy? 

By answering these questions and optimizing processes upfront, you’ll create a solid foundation for AI to thrive. 

 

Proven Steps to Implement AI Successfully  

Here’s what we’ve learned from helping organizations implement AI: 

• Perform an AI Discovery: Identify the specific problems your business needs to solve and evaluate whether AI is the right solution. 

• Start with People: Engage your team to map and refine processes. They’re your greatest resource for identifying inefficiencies. 

• Focus on Data: AI thrives on clean, organized data. Build a robust data management strategy before implementation. 

• Take a Team Approach: Success requires collaboration across roles—business analysts, engineers, designers, and change management experts.
