The first step of the KIROI strategy emphasises the importance of sharing knowledge about AI within a company. This step is crucial to create an understanding of how AI can be used in different areas and how it contributes to the optimisation of processes and the creation of innovations.
Why is knowledge sharing about AI important?
Sharing knowledge about AI creates a basis for a data-driven culture within the company. By providing information about AI technologies and their possible applications, companies can:
- Creating a common understanding: If all employees have a basic understanding of AI, it is easier to accept and integrate new technologies.
- Promoting innovation: Employees who know about AI can develop creative solutions to existing problems.
- Increase efficiency: With a broader understanding of AI, processes can be identified that can be automated or optimised.
Practical examples from various industries
Automotive industry and KIROI
In the automotive industry, the company ABC Automotive (name changed due to NDA contracts) has introduced an internal knowledge platform to share information about AI and machine learning. The platform includes webinars, online courses and discussion forums where engineers and developers can share their experiences and insights. This initiative has led to an increase in innovation projects, including the development of an AI-supported system for predicting maintenance requirements, which reduces downtime and improves customer satisfaction.
Healthcare and KIROI
Healthcare company ABC Health (name changed due to NDA contracts) has introduced a weekly meeting focused on sharing knowledge about AI in healthcare. Doctors, nurses and administrative staff come together to discuss the latest developments in AI and explore its application in patient care. A direct result of these meetings was the implementation of an AI-supported diagnostic tool that helps doctors to diagnose faster and more accurately.
Retail and KIROI
ABC Retail (name changed due to NDA contracts) utilises a company-wide AI knowledge network where employees from different departments can share best practices and success stories. This initiative led to the introduction of AI-driven price optimisation software that increased sales by 15 % by using real-time data analytics to dynamically adjust prices.
How can the exchange of knowledge be promoted?
- Educational programmes: Introduction of training programmes tailored to the needs of different departments. Online courses, workshops and seminars can promote knowledge at all levels.
- Internal communication platforms: Use of platforms such as Slack or Microsoft Teams to facilitate the exchange of information and collaboration.
- AI ambassador: Appointment of AI ambassadors in various departments who can act as a point of contact for questions and support.
- Regular updates and meetings: Hold regular meetings to share the latest developments in AI and discuss their impact on the organisation.
Challenges and solutions
Challenge: Resistance to change
One of the biggest challenges when sharing knowledge about AI is resistance to change. Employees may feel threatened by new technologies or be afraid of losing their jobs.
KIROI solution: Communication and education are key. Companies should be transparent about the benefits of AI and how it can make work easier, not replace it. Training programmes can help employees understand and appreciate the new technologies.
Challenge: Lack of expertise
Another obstacle is the lack of expertise within the company. Many employees may not have a technical background, which can make the introduction of AI more difficult.
KIROI solution: The use of easy-to-understand training materials and the involvement of external experts can help to impart the necessary knowledge. Peer learning programmes in which employees learn from each other can also be effective.
KIROI takes you further
Sharing knowledge about AI is a crucial step in laying the foundation for the successful integration of AI technologies in the company. By building an informed workforce, companies can develop innovative solutions, optimise processes and ultimately strengthen their competitiveness. Companies that neglect this step risk falling behind the competition.
