The\u00a0AI in Enterprise<\/em>\u00a0Series<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Enterprise firms across the globe are increasingly turning to AI-driven technologies to achieve key business goals. While potential benefits are significant, many firms underestimate the fundamental change necessary to successfully integrate AI into the enterprise. Successful adoption programs need to be developed to fit the particular needs of each organization\u2014from its data strategy, project management, and product development to its engagement with the cloud, customers, and partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In November 2019, the Laboratory for Innovation Science (LISH), HBS Digital Initiative, and the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) launched AI in Enterprise<\/strong><\/em>, <\/strong><\/em> an invitation-only series for selected executives to learn how to manage expectations and assimilate the knowledge and tools they need to implement a successful transition to AI in larger, more established organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In contrast to other discussions on AI, this series aims to provide key insights on how enterprise firms are thinking critically and strategically about AI integration. Drawing on the LISH\u2019s extensive experience over the past decade running programs that develop algorithm and AI-based solutions with partners across industries\u2014as well as subject matter expertise from Harvard Business School faculty and partners\u2014this series will provide a uniquely enterprise-focused forum for understanding artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
