What Is Data & AI Business Design?

To holistically advise its clients regarding individual data & AI strategies, Datentreiber has developed its own strategy method which has been used, proven successful as well as continuously refined in numerous client projects: the Data & AI Business Design method is based on Design Thinking. It extends the original method’s user-centric and value-oriented mindset with Data Thinking, a perspective which is, coming from the users’ needs and available enterprise data, identifying, concretizing and evaluating AI and data-driven solutions and business models. The Datentreiber method provides a collection of different canvas and workshop formats in the Data & AI Business Design Bench.

What Is a Data & AI Strategy?

A data and AI strategy consists of three essential parts:

  1. Short-term: an overview of the company’s data landscape including the exploration of external data sources as well as the qualitative evaluation of the data.
  2. Mid-term: concrete use cases having a positive cost-benefit ratio as well as functional, technical and analytical concepts for an imminent implementation.
  3. Long-term: a roadmap for a gradual increase of the company’s analytical maturity by implementing further data-driven applications.

The data strategy is aiming at a transformation of the company towards AI and data-driven business models and processes in order to get a leading position in the digital race.
