- Competitive differentiation, cost optimization, digital transformation, and operational efficiency are just some of your strategic priorities that generative AI (Gen AI) promises to support.
- Your stakeholders are ready to invest in Gen AI vendors, to investigate and demonstrate opportunities in your teams, products, and services with Gen AI embedded.
- Gen AI is new to your organization, and the lack of internal capabilities makes it difficult to navigate the vast Gen AI marketplace and develop the right criteria to select the appropriate solutions.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
- Don’t get caught in the hype; focus on the problem. Gen AI marketing can take your focus away from what is important. Put the human front and center to understand how Gen AI tools can be integrated and embedded into a worker’s activities and workflows and how they drive organizational, departmental, and individual value.
- Treat Gen AI as any other technology in IT procurement. Much of the selection criteria (e.g. features and functionalities, security, vendor viability) in traditional vendor selection still apply for Gen AI. Adjust your current vendor selection practice to accommodate the context, intricacies, and nuances of Gen AI using your existing selection framework and methodologies as a starting point.
- Innovate with a purpose. Reinventing the wheel will lower your chances of success. Stick to proven use cases to understand their value and fit in your organization and how your teams can transform the way they work. Use your lessons learned to discover scaling opportunities.
- Position your prospective vendor as a partner and not just a trainer. Success goes beyond the pilot. It involves the development of a practice that is often supported and supplied with tailored tactics and on-hand advice from the vendor.
Impact and Result
- Outline the value you expect to gain. Discuss current business and IT priorities, use cases, and value opportunities to determine what to expect from Gen AI tools.
- Define your vendor and tooling selection criteria. Clarify the driving factors in your evaluation of the Gen AI solution using your existing vendor evaluation practices as a starting point.
- Use Info-Tech’s Generative AI Vendor Selection Criteria Workbook to define and prioritize the criteria that will influence vendor selection.
