AI is everywhere, but cutting through the hype is hard.

 

With 85% of AI projects failing to deliver the desired outcomes and struggling to move from pilot to production, leaders need to grasp its capabilities, limitations, and real impact. 

Start with purpose. Avoid forcing AI into areas it doesn’t fit. Prioritise use cases that align with clear business goals and ensure they’re well-understood. Success starts with readiness — strengthen your infrastructure and data strategies first. Focus on easy wins that lead to significant results. 

Responsible AI is essential. Building trust, safeguarding privacy, and mitigating bias aren’t optional, especially with regulations like the EU AI Act. Strong governance is crucial, yet many organisations lack effective oversight despite having strategies in place. 

Adoption challenges are real. Secure support by delivering quick, impactful successes. Demonstrate early value to overcome scepticism. Careful planning, scalable approaches, and measurable outcomes are critical. When implemented effectively, AI delivers transformative value — but only with strategic execution. 

AI use cases that drive impact 

From personalised learning to operational optimisation, the applications of AI are diverse and impactful. Using technologies like machine learning, natural language processing, generative AI, operations research, and computer vision, AI streamlines processes and drives innovation.  

Below are 10 practical use cases showcasing real-world potential: 

  1. Intelligent document processing: Automate data extraction from invoices and scanned contracts.
  2. Customer insights: Predict behaviours and analyse sentiment from unstructured data.
  3. Personalised learning: Create adaptive corporate training with tailored resources. 
  4. Call centre productivity: Provide real-time coaching and AI-driven chatbots improve service. 
  5. Predictive staffing: Forecast workforce needs for efficiency and cost savings. 
  6. Employee self-service: Simplify HR queries like payroll and policies. 
  7. Optimised decision-making: Utilise operations research to effectively plan resources and routes. 
  8. Automated brand compliance: Ensure consistent content across all digital touchpoints. 
  9. Document accessibility: Make content inclusive with AI-generated alt-text and simplifications. 
  10. Code documentation: Standardise and simplify developer documentation.
