WYI's journey to the use of artificial intelligence
WYI's journey to the use of artificial intelligence: A field report on the AI Basecamp workshop
Introduction
The company WYI - Wear Your Imagination - offers an innovative way to create self-designed T-shirts. Customers describe the desired image in text and an artificial intelligence generates an image that can be adopted directly. This creative process allows users to realize their unique designs and wear their imagination.
To further optimize the use of AI and open up new avenues of innovation, WYI completed an AI basecamp workshop at passgenau-digital GmbH. In this blog article, we would like to tell you how the workshop went, what insights were gained and what benefits WYI derived from it.
The AI Basecamp workshop at a glance
The AI Basecamp workshop by passgenau-digital GmbH consists of two sessions and aims to support companies of all sizes and industries in the effective implementation and use of artificial intelligence. The workshop helps to reduce uncertainties and create a customized AI roadmap that includes clear projects and steps for implementing AI.
Workshop 1: Strategic planning and analysis
The first workshop lasts approximately 3-4 hours and includes several key components:
- Keynote presentation: An overview of different application areas for AI in everyday operations will be given. Examples such as chatbots to speed up business processes and security and privacy aspects of using AI will be discussed in detail.
- AI roadmap tool: Introduction to a toolset for creating an individual AI roadmap or AI strategy. Participants will learn how to strategically plan and organize the use of AI by structuring and channeling their project ideas.
- Project management for AI projects: Presentation of the innovation cycle in the development and implementation of AI software projects. The technical feasibility and economic risks are assessed.
Workshop 2: Detailed assessment and creation of the AI roadmap
The second workshop lasts around 2-3 hours and can be held either on site or via video conference. Here, the ideas gained in the first workshop are developed further:
- Technical due diligence: AI specialists check whether the defined approaches can also be implemented technically and are promising for the planned application.
- Evaluation and ranking of ideas:** The ideas collected are evaluated and prioritized in terms of their technical feasibility and economic benefit. This evaluation forms the basis for the creation of an individual AI roadmap for the company.
- Workshop report:** Following the workshop, the company receives a detailed report with the presentation documents and a summary of the sensible next steps. The prepared ideas are mapped in the AI roadmap, which serves as a strategic plan for the implementation of the first AI projects.
The benefits of the AI Basecamp workshop for WYI
Identification of potential savings and increased efficiency
By participating in the AI Basecamp workshop, WYI was able to identify specific areas in which the use of AI can lead to significant improvements. The possible applications were evaluated in terms of their economic benefits and technical feasibility, leading to a more effective use of resources.
Creation of a customized AI roadmap
The workshop helped WYI to create a clear and structured AI roadmap. This roadmap contains detailed projects and steps that are necessary to successfully implement AI in the company. This long-term planning enables WYI to make targeted investments in AI technologies and make the best possible use of them to achieve its business goals.
Better organizational preparation
Through the intensive examination of the opportunities and challenges of AI, WYI was able to optimally prepare itself organizationally for the implementation and integration of AI technologies. The findings from the workshop provide a solid basis for internal discussions and decisions.
Conclusion
The AI Basecamp workshop held by passgenau-digital GmbH was a valuable opportunity for WYI to prepare strategically and technically for the use of artificial intelligence. The customized AI roadmap, which was created during the workshop, serves the company as a central guideline for future AI projects and investments. This will not only enable WYI to increase its efficiency and effectiveness, but also to act as an innovative pioneer in the industry.
We look forward to further developing WYI based on the AI roadmap. We will of course announce all new features directly on our blog! Stay tuned!
