There is a new power under the hood!

The advent of EVs (Electric Vehicles) has been disruptive in a largely positive way.
Have you noticed just how much EVs have disrupted the car market? It took some time for them to really get going, but now they are selling like hot cakes and are everywhere!

  1. They are really easy to drive.
  2. They are very reliable.
  3. They don’t need as much servicing. 

EVs are DISRUPTIVE!

AI will be moreso!

  1. If you think you have seen disruption with EVs, then consider your life in the 2000s:
  2. smartphones
  3. online marketplaces
  4. ride-sharing services
  5. streaming platforms


Shall I go on?

AI and Hyper-Automation are going to make your head spin! 

The possibilities we now have in front of us with Artificial Intelligence and the amazing ability now at our fingertips to stitch applications together in the cloud using Business Process Management Systems (BPMS) and Integration Brokers present incredible opportunity to revolutionise the way you do business. The possibilities may well make your head spin! We can go:

  1. faster
  2. more reliably
  3. with less human intervention (like retyping!)


The power of AI Architecture is however reliant on good business modelling to make it successful because an AI is only as good as the data you train it on. I find myself in a place then, where the skills I have diligently built over the years to help businesses with operational efficiency are now required as an AI Architect too.

What skills are needed?

  1. Organisational modelling
  2. Business Process (process states or statii is  really important information)
  3. Modelling of information! AI needs to know what particular attributes are important and needs to have the data in a reliable and consistent state for it to be useful. Take for example a list of states: one system stores state number, another uses the three letter code (VIC, TAS, NSW etc. in Australia) and yet another might just use V, T, N etc. Inconsistencies like these need resolving and standardising for AI to digest the data and make use of it.
  4. Applications and Application Interfaces  need to be understood
  5. Locations and Business Events must also be depicted and characterised!

It’s No Small Job: But The Advantages Are AMAZING!

I am working with Zertain on a project that has me doing business modelling with the executive team, including business strategy and roadmaps, whilst some technical guys go ‘bottom up’ to get a firm idea of the information and technologies that are in place. These two perspectives will give us a great idea as to the hyper-automation and AI opportunities for the organisation.

Where On Your Journey?

Where are you on your journey with disruptive technologies?

  • Have you planned for them?
  • Do you have an estimate of costs and benefits?
  • Do you understand the risks?
  • Do you know how to start?

If you have answered NO to any of these questions, please contact me to start a conversation about planning for hyper-automation and/or AI. Please grab a FREE CONSULTATION to get the conversation going, and we will plan how to adopt these disruptive and hugely beneficial technologies for your organisation.
