The challenge
The board felt pressure to "do something with AI" but had loose proposals from several vendors and no way to compare them or know where to start.
The approach
Diagnosis: interviews with twelve managers and a survey of the data available in each area.
Plan: each opportunity assessed by expected return, effort and risk, in a decision session with the board.
The solution
A roadmap with five initiatives, the order of execution, estimated investment and the data and systems prerequisites for each. The first — maintenance planning — moved on to a pilot.
