Why should your data always reflect your business? Mark Simpson Griffiths Waite's Technical Director says “Data is the biggest determinate of success when it comes to digital transformation” Mark talks about a variety of techniques that we utilise, one such technique is applying Relational Data Analysis (RDA) principles to produce a logical data model from the screens and reports. How important is the data in your enterprise and how do you ensure it informs key decision making in your business?

So, just over four months ago we got together with some other IT leaders to define an AI opportunity radar using the Gartner established framework. See the link below. It feels like a million years ago, automation particularly utilisation of sound and video has moved at breakneck speed as has Multimodal use improving the UX no end. How has your internal thinking around AI and GenAI possibilities moved the dial for you? We are preparing to speak at the UK IT Leaders day on the 25th of September as well as doing regular sessions for clients around GenAI utilisation, we truly believe this is a revolutionary moment. If you'd like to attend the UK IT Leaders Day, see the link below 👇 If you'd like to have a one-to-one conversation about how GenAI can help your organisation create innovation and efficiency opportunities, we'd welcome a conversation.

Team augmentation and efficiencies are at the top of IT leaders' agenda. But how is the Gen AI revolution impacting your future planning? In our latest Birmingham Tech Leaders session our final discussion in the skills chapter revolved around what the enterprise IT team of the future will look like in the next 3 years. How we created the team of the future: We created a simple framework that we believed would help us shape the skills and roles of tomorrow: Define, Build, Govern.   Using our framework, each tech leader received four magnets to propose crucial existing or new roles in the AI & Automation era. AI & Automation, alongside advanced machine learning models like OpenAI, Bert, Claude, and Gemini, are evolving rapidly in their capabilities. This exercise may look significantly different next year as these technologies progress in what they excel at and where human guidance remains essential. Insights: From the session, three main insights came out. Insight 1 New skills are based on governance. Control is key whether it is around security, or the creation and implementation of specific guardrails. Naturally, CEO’s and business leaders want to ensure that with the adoption of Gen AI, that data security is number one on the business agenda. Insight 2 Prompting is seen as the new superpower, and this is reflected as roles reliant on prompting are seen in all three categories. Governance The validation of AI and automation is vital, ensuring the right prompts are used. Understanding what business value you are getting from new processes sits with this. What is the cost to the business? What’s the effort for the business? And finally, what’s the risk to the business? Define Specialists in prompting to interact with all the specific foundational models is vital. This role at least initially will become hugely sought after and expensive to recruit for. Understanding what models are best utilised for what specific tasks will become a business-critical science. Build Repeatability and incremental gains in the way we automate our processes will also play a valuable role in our enterprises. This will be no different with prompting the models. It will become an engineering discipline to ensure the results are measurable and repeatable. Insight 3 The more mature roles in IT delivery won’t be going anywhere. Enterprise challenges such as architecture, integration, security, business analysis etc. The roles around these challenges will naturally evolve but we can’t see these roles disappearing, they will remain critical.
