Artificial intelligence (AI) can potentially bring significant value to organizations by enhancing productivity, improving decision-making, and creating new opportunities for growth and innovation.

Yet, according to Gartner surveys, obtaining value from AI is challenging.

The main barriers to AI implementation are the lack of understanding the benefits and uses of AI techniques and the difficulty in measuring AI’s value.

As enterprises shift from experimentation to real-world applications of AI deployed at scale, it is essential to derive value from AI.

However, traditional approaches to assessing and realizing AI value fall short.

According to the Gartner 2023 Chief Data Analytics Officer Survey, the number one impediment to the success of data, analytics and AI initiatives is the shortage of skills and staff.

Other research shows that certain skills are identified as either critical or niche, implying they are high in demand but low in supply.

With the difficulty of identifying external support, reskilling and upskilling internal employees address some of these resourcing challenges.

However, most organisations do not have a formal skills development strategy and don’t know how and where to start.

In this data and analytics (D&A) webinar Jorgen Heizenberg (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst & KI Leader will reveal a structured approach to a skills development plan via a 10-step process to help you build high performing D&A teams.

Discussion Topics:

• Identify data and analytics needs based on the demands of key business stakeholders
• Map required skills to must-have roles by using job descriptions
• Develop a formal skills development strategy
