AI Adoption

Introducing, rolling out and expanding the use of smart systems across a large enterprise raises questions that are both organizational (centralized v distributed expertise) and technical / process (how best to integrate product management, software engineering, data science and AI with IT operations and the effected business functions.

The potential is huge — as is the complexity of management and control to achieve the potential win on all, or even any, of the three sides of the “iron triangle” of time, cost and quality. Most experienced managers have seen this done badly; far fewer understand the keys to making this work.

Strategic Planning for Technology / AI Evolution

But with advanced technology evolving on a weekly / monthly pace, planning and delivering enterprise scale solutions on a working cadence that can deliver sufficent quality at reasonable cost and on a predictable schedule has never been more difficult.

Product Management

Product management is a core discipline that underpins most organization's that successfully sustain successful for growth for groups small and large. Product managers require a diverse skill set deep product and market knowledge. Leveraging such expertise to take advantage of entirely new AI-driven possibilities, and understanding the trade-offs between time, cost and quality –for a quick-to-market solution that also lays the groundwork for continuous improvement, may require integrating new operational costs and concerns along with other changes that make continuous improvement a cost-effective reality.  CogWrite staff have built operational improvements that, by capturing decision outcomes and downstream results, allow ever better predictions for greater success over time.

Challenge / Opportunity Assessment

An independent review and perspective on the relative likelihood of success in terms of increased revenues, lowered costs or higher service levels can be a valuable assist when setting priorities and budgets for new initiatives.

Project Management

Delivering complex projects with multiple teams of business and product managers, and business analysts, designers, developers, testers, deployment and operations staff requires signifnicant resources to orchestrate a smooth process of continuous development and delivery. Monitoring and managing on time, high quality delivery requires seasoned experience and skill.

Team / Platform Assessment

The development of ambitious new platforms, complex systems and technology-enabled service offerings often requires long term, high cost investments that can take many quarters or years to pay off. Such efforts, geared toward rapid access to new markets with MVP solutions created to both achieve aggressive timelines but also lay a firm technological foundation for future growth, are fraught with tradeoffs between those goals from day 1. From the outset, from the build vs. buy vs. hybrid starting point, to the choice between optimizing for best-of-breed components vs. establishing “good enough” thresholds in favor of more functionality sooner, these tradeoffs and decisions must be periodically reviewed in light of progress and experience to fine tune successive investments.

And independent, expert review of progress, capabilities and achievements — o teams, technology and platform services as they emerge — can help senior management make better fine tuning decisions along the way. It might be uncomfortable to look afresh and decide if the right or sufficient skills have been brought to bear; if one or more vendors or teams are not meeting expected performance; of if evolving technology and emerging capabilities mean work already designed or even completed needs to be re-considered. But the potential cost of not doing so could lead to calamity - where a smaller course correction, if done sooner, could have led to success.
