In today’s fast-paced business landscape, data is king, and artificial intelligence (AI) is the game-changer. To thrive in this digital age, organizations must cultivate a data-driven culture that harnesses the power of AI. Why? Because data-driven companies are 23 times more likely to outperform their competitors in customer acquisition, profitability, and business valuation, according to McKinsey & Company.
So, how can your organization embark on this transformative journey? Here are 10 concrete steps to creating a data-driven culture in the world of AI:
- Step 1: Leadership Buy-In
Recent reports based on a McKinsey Global Institute study show that data-driven businesses are 20X times more likely to acquire new customers and 6X more likely to keep them. Leadership must set the tone and actively support data initiatives.
- Step 2: Define Clear Objectives
IDC predicts that by 2025, 60% of the world’s GDP will be digitized, with growth in every industry driven by digitally-enhanced offerings. Clearly define your objectives in the context of AI and data to remain competitive.
