AI: Transforming Business with AI. Synetec's Tailored Discovery Process for Strategic Growth

Case Study: AI Discovery Process for a Financial Services Client

Using our structured AI Discover Process we consulted with this client to explore and uncover how AI solutions could overcome their business challenges.

The discovery process and the external perspective early on is hugely valuable, and can save a lot of time and effort further down the line. It’s time well spent.”

Business Challenges:

1. Board-Level Concern: The Board of Directors feared falling behind competitors who were quicker to adopt AI, putting the company's strategic positioning at risk.
2. Management-Level Uncertainty: The Management team struggled to identify the areas where AI adoption would create the most value and deliver a strong return on investment (ROI).
3. Operational Scepticism: The Operations team expressed doubts about their readiness to integrate AI into existing processes effectively.

Using the AI Discovery Process, Synetec conducted a comprehensive evaluation to address these layered concerns. The process included the following steps:

1. Understanding their unique business challenges: Engaging with stakeholders to align AI initiatives with business goals, operational hurdles, and industry demands.
2. Mapping AI opportunities: Identifying high-value AI applications through industry expertise and market knowledge, maximising ROI.
3. Developing a tailored roadmap: Crafting a customised plan with actionable steps, timelines, and success metrics to guide implementation.
4. Ensuring technical feasibility: Assessing and optimising data infrastructure to support AI solutions, addressing data quality—a factor that 66% of organisations cite as critical for success (Forbes).
