Understand how cultural transformation is key to a truly data-driven journey and its impact on company results.
Organizations seeking competitive advantage understand that data is a strategic asset, so they adopt a data-driven culture. Within this scenario, artificial intelligence plays a fundamental role and is transforming business in virtually every market segment.
The technologies that enable the use of artificial intelligence , such as processing power, storage capacity and the development of platforms and applications, are becoming increasingly accessible.
However, despite the aforementioned benefits, the availability of large volumes of data, and the proven value this transformation brings to businesses, the efforts of some organizations yield results that fall short of expectations.
In the search for an answer to why this phenomenon occurs, what emerges as a common element on many occasions has to do, in short, with inadequacies in the cultural, structural and leadership transformations necessary in corporations to accelerate and consolidate this transformation.
One of the most important components in this cultural change process is the elimination of data and decision silos in different areas of the company towards a culture of information sharing and integrated and collaborative work .
It is essential that leaders monitor and facilitate the adoption of artificial intelligence tools and reinforce the change with concrete actions.
How to build a data-driven organizational culture
Along this journey, companies need to evolve their data analytics and AI organizational model, with a centralized team connected to others distributed across business units.
To discuss a cultural change in an organization, it is necessary to explain to employees the reasons and benefits that will be obtained for the company as a result of this transformation.
This includes alerting them to:
– potential barriers that may appear along the way;
– provide incentives for the adoption of artificial intelligence tools;
– check whether professionals’ objectives are aligned with the use of new technologies.
