Featured Excerpt
"Organisations with structured AI governance and dedicated centers of excellence are 50% more likely to successfully scale AI across their operations and realize significant returns on their AI investments."
The establishment of an AI Center of Excellence represents more than just an organisational structure—it's a commitment to excellence, innovation, and the strategic application of AI to drive business transformation.
Our journey in crafting this guide began with a simple question: "What would we have wanted to know before establishing our first AI Center of Excellence?" The answers to this question form the foundation of this book—practical, experience-driven, and designed to help you navigate the complexities of AI implementation.
