However, despite the large spendings, around 70 percent of the executives confirm that their AI projects deliver no business impact. Reasons for failure are manifold and reach from unclear business objectives to insufficient organizational capabilities.
This White Paper presents four guiding principles for successfully generating impact by establishing data analytics and AI in asset operations. It provides guidance on how to elevate data analytics to a usable daily asset management, leading to tangible results. Examples from various industries illustrate business benefits and outline how to avoid the most common pitfalls.
