Today, it’s critical to navigate this AI-infested market.

As the hype for an AI-powered world grows, so does the incentive and pressure for tech companies to market their solutions as AI-powered. Even big tech companies struggle to fulfill their AI-related promises and sometimes end up sending user data to e-sweatshops, where humans pose as artificial intelligence processing units.

As CEOs, we must understand AI as a method for correlating and processing vast amounts of ‘relatable data’ to perform human-like analysis and predictions. However, it’s essential to recognize that AI is not a catch-all, magic solution for our businesses. A simple rule to apply is this: If a desired outcome (think of any process) cannot be solved by humans, regardless of the cost, then it certainly cannot be solved by AI.

Innovation, at its core, transcends the binary world of ones and zeros. It thrives not solely on the machinery of technology but on the fertile soil of imagination. Here’s why creativity takes center stage in the pursuit of groundbreaking ideas.

The Innovation process can be kickstarted by first understanding the intrinsic value that your clients see in your products and services. Then imagine what the next level of satisfaction delivery looks like. Go wild. Don´t marry with your current processes. Explore every idea that comes to your mind without prejudice. then take the ones you like most and work backwards creating a list of things that need solving before being able to accomplish your idea.

That´s your first innovation map. Refinement process concludes when every item in the list has a deliverable solution and can be budgeted.

That is the way we innovate. No need for aha! moments or divine inspiration. We just use our creative minds. Finally we leverage our experience and our technologies to deliver effectively and efficiently.

Architecture is where many innovation projects start going south, even before the first line of code is written.

The architecture of a system is all about blending the business vision, operations experience, information flow and legal / normative requirements. To design a coherent platform that saves user´s time, minimizes operations risks, and is easy to scale and deploy.

To help find the proper sponsors or champions inside the organization to harvest ideas, help consolidate a common vision and ultimately to navigate the politics and challenges that inevitably will arise.

To use past experience to be able to foresee the riskiest and most difficult to develop code, so delivery times and costs are estimated properly.

To be able to gather the ideal team and tools, platforms, and for the task at hand.

To provide the team with clear user journeys with complete wireframes, flow charts and specs. Saving time and making management more straight forward.
