The easiest option to experiment with the technology is on incremental im- provements, the most common of which are cost efficiencies and/or process automations.27 Although aiming for such quick wins is good for early adoption, it’s important not to get lost in myopic possibilities, limiting oneself to tactical solutions rather than strategic and transformative ones. A relatable example is automating workflows in a clinical setting, which can surely boost clinician productivity in examining patients, resulting in higher revenues for providers.28 However, the true transformative potential of AI lies in precision medicine and surgery, improved clinical trial results, image quality reduction and reconstruction, and more. To gain competitive advantage, an organization should aim at the technology’s larger potential, lest it be lost in the weeds of marginal improvements. The approach to move from process automation to reinvention involves 1) reimagining processes from scratch, 2) capturing the exponential power of dark data (data that organizations collect but don’t use), and 3) unlocking the 26 Alex Castrounis, “How to Set AI Goals,” O’Reilly: Radar, September 15, 2020, https://www.oreilly.com/radar/ how-to-set-ai-goals/.
