Training Overview

Creating a Roadmap and Addressing the Challenges of Operationalising AI

AI presents the Public Sector with an opportunity to completely reimagine how you deliver, plan and strategise. Despite this untapped potential the application of AI in government still falls behind the transformation that seen in the private sector.  

A recent EY survey commissioned by Microsoft found that AI is a digital priority for government – but only 4% of agencies surveyed had managed to scale its use to achieve real transformation in services. 

There are several barriers: Cultural resistance, the effort, skills and resources to ensure AI adoption isn’t just successful but is sustainable, repeatable and scalable. This course has been developed to tackle these barriers. It will provide participants with tools and insights to operationalise and scale AI and ML for your organisation. It will shed light on the challenges that you will face and discuss strategies to mitigate them. 

You will leave the course will allow you to envisage the future state, assess your current state and come up with a roadmap on how to get there. It will enable you to assess information, data, people, process and technology to plan your next steps.
