AI Strategy & Transformation

 

You need to AI'ify your business .....

Watching clips on youtube to understand generative AI (even my TEDx talk below) is not helpful for executives to understand HOW to apply it in the areas that are most applicable for your business.

So, we have developed a playbook for teams like yours to guide your AI transformation journey across all functional aspects of your business.

We have deep experience helping companies like yours with their AI strategy

What is Propel's approach to developing your AI strategy?

We start with an education program and follow with the development of an AI strategy on a page - this is the core output from the initial phases of work; it lays out both where your are heading, and how you plan to get there

There are multiple aspects to consider, as shown in the example AI transformation plan on a page to the right.

We take a practical approach to work hand in hand alongside your team members to help them on the journey

Examples of the elements our program covers for clients:

How can the marketing team choose which tools to use to safely - without leaking IP?
How can the finance team use Code Interpreter to analyse excel spreadsheets?
How can copilot help my teams to increase their productivity?
Could we create agents to help our staff and clients?
How should we roll out new tools to enable a smooth transition and lay solid foundations for adoption of generative AI tools?

Example of the impact of Propel's AI transformation service

Low key first personal use case of Chat GPT. Late adopter but will be a fast follower from here on.

We recently had a cost review meeting with 6 team members for 30 minutes. All up 3 hours of time for that meeting. We reviewed some key cost trends, analysed the largest impact contributors and spoke about watch outs and followed this with some action items. After the meeting, the cost table was put on Chat GPT and we got 85% match of the analysis that we have spent our collective time on. Based on getting this analysis now from Chat GPT for future meetings we will be done and dusted in 10 minutes. That is a saving of 2 hours of our collective time.

The effect was so powerful that one can only be inspired to be a fast follower of what’s out there already in the new world of AI.

Ben’s presentation was absolutely incredible and eye opening for the potential of AI for our business. I did not appreciate how important it is for leaders to get on the front foot of this technological breakthrough now and to push AI into their business operations and strategy today.

Ben's presentation on the evolution of GPT had me completely gobsmacked at the opportunity it presents and also the risks that we'll get left behind if we don't act fast. A must-see for anyone in the digital space.

Thank you for the presentation this morning. I thought it was excellent and there has already been lots of discussion about potential opportunities for Flintfox to use Generative AI and RPA in our business. I could see light bulbs exploding in people’s faces on the call!

Ben’s presentation was an eye-opening journey into the world of AI, instantly captivating not only everyone’s attention but their imagination.

Ben was so practical in his content, by continuously providing live examples as to how it could be applied within our business. One of very best presentations I have ever received.

Ben’s Generative AI workshop is perfect for executive teams wanting to move beyond the hype and into strategic planning for how Generative AI can be used in their organisations.

By using practical and accessible examples applied to our business, Ben evolved our senior leadership team’s perspective on this rapidly emerging technology and left us excited and empowered to try it out.

I recently attended Ben's AI presentation and found it very informative. What impressed me the most was Ben's talent for simplifying intricate AI concepts, making them easily understandable for a diverse audience.

Ben's ability to connect theoretical AI ideas with real-world business applications was particularly noteworthy. By using relevant examples and practical insights, he effectively conveyed the potential benefits of AI for various industries.

This aspect of his presentation left me with tangible takeaways and a clearer understanding of how AI can be integrated into business strategies.

We were very lucky to have you. AI is such an interesting subject matter to learn about and you were able to guide us expertly on this topic.

I wanted to take a moment to thank Ben Ross for his incredible AI education session at Copia Investment Partners. The way Ben tackled the whole AI topic was just spot on. He didn't dive into the deep end of techy jargon; instead, he shared AI in bite-sized pieces that we could all understand and relate to.

But what made Ben's session really stand out was how he got us involved and provided real-life examples and interactive content. You could tell he put in the effort to tailor everything to fit Copia.

So if you're looking for someone who can break down AI complexities and investigate how you can integration AI with your business, I would recommend Ben.

Hands-on leadership experience

All engagements are led by Ben Ross, founder of Propel Ventures.

Ben is a technology leader having developed over 20 applications for large and small companies, including three of his own which he built, scaled and sold prior to co-founding Propel Ventures.

Ben's first AI app, myadvisor.ai was developed in 2017 - it was an application which turned accounting data into words using natural language generation to generate management reports in seconds.

Surprisingly, myadvisor.ai took a team of developers almost two years to develop from scratch, yet with current AI tools, the same functionality is now available instantly for free using OpenAI's Code Interpreter tool!! 

More information on Ben is available on his Linked In profile where you can see the other organisations that he is involved with.
