Seth Earley will be teaching: "Developing a Metrics-Driven Governance Playbook" Governance is boring, and no one wants to own it. But the success of any information program depends on thoughtful and deliberate decision making. Too often this means going with the opinions of the most senior people in the room. There are two problems with this approach: When those opinions are not aligned, conflicts arise, which lead to decisions driven by organizational politics. When those opinions are shared, unless they are based on real data, they are just that: opinions. The answer to this challenge lies in a metrics-driven process for decisions. Every project involving ecommerce, user experience or more broadly digital transformation requires measurement of outcomes at multiple levels. This process allows for validation of course corrections and ongoing improvement based on data rather than opinion. In this session attendees will learn: Various structures for decision making bodies, and the pros and cons for each. Ways to align measures of data quality and completeness with processes, business outcomes and organizational strategy. How to connect ROI to data and content programs. A framework for a metrics-driven governance playbook.

Enterprisers Project: 8 habits of successful AI teams

Jun 25, 2020

The Enterprisers Project published "Artificial Intelligence (AI): 8 habits of successful teams" on June 25, 2020 quoting Seth Earley: Being successful with AI programs requires that organizations create working teams with representation from multiple disciplines, says Seth Earley, CEO of Earley Information Science and author of The AI-Powered Enterprise. Vodafone, for example, tried to build their AI capability by looking for “cognitive engineers.” “The problem is that cognitive engineer is a new job role and there were none on the market,” says Earley. “Instead, they built their own by assembling a team consisting of data scientists and programmers (obviously), but also linguists, information architects, user experience experts, and subject matter experts from the business.” The particular mix of skills required will vary based on the flavor of AI. “Predictive analytics would not likely require a linguist, for example,” Earley notes.

TechTarget: AI's impact on business

May 19, 2020

TechTarget SearchEnterpriseAI published an Articles "AI's impact on business: The quest to make money" on May 19,2020 including this quote from Seth Earley: Break down a vision into actionable steps with measurable outcomes. Many executives still struggle to move from AI ideas to implementation, Earley said. "Translating a vision -- which is high-level and ambiguous by nature -- into something actionable is the biggest challenge that organizations face with AI," Earley explained. "The vision needs to be broken down into a concept of future operations that will describe what the future looks like: How will the organization operate in this future state? Who is impacted and how?" Breaking a large transformation program into actionable steps with clear measurable outcomes is critical to realize revenue from AI, according to Earley. Because multiple workstreams are generally required to make an enterprise AI capability a reality, each workstream needs to describe how individual processes will be impacted. "The key is to define your problem, business scenarios and use cases and not be sold based on the vendor's business scenarios and use cases," Earley said.
