They conduct extensive primary and secondary research, speaking with industry experts and other clients to understand the drivers of value and proof that a given practice leads to better results. AI Vendors, Verticals, and Research Taxonomy Rob explains that the firm has a vast research taxonomy, with AI being an important part of it. They have a team in place to connect with thought-leading vendors and their leading adopter clients to gather insights on various functions, rules, verticals, and sub-segments where AI is taking root. The strength in the marketplace currently lies in the horizontal focus on functions and roles across organizations rather than the various verticals or lines of business. Most AI vendors aim to maximize their total addressable market which is difficult to do when focusing on just one vertical. The Market and Vertically-orientated Competitors Rob predicts that the mix of vertically-oriented competitors will change as the market evolves. Currently, the strength is 80% on functions and roles, 20% on verticals. This approach allows AI vendors to maximize their total addressable market and stay competitive in the market. In this discussion, Rob discusses the implementation of AI solutions in various functions and roles within companies, including IT. He highlights the strengths in CO generation, data and analytics, service management, HR, sales, and marketing. AI in HR, Sales and Marketing, and Operations In HR, AI is being used to improve employee experience by indexing content and interacting with users. Talent acquisition recruiting uses AI on both sides of the recruiting equation, with AI being used in talent assessment, helping to cut through biases and improve diverse hiring. Sales enablement and sales automation tools are the top lead and revenue-driving categories, while customer experience is the top cost-saving category. Operations are also being explored, with AI parsing information captured from video cameras for various applications such as shop floor settings, retail environments, and restaurants. Natural language conversations with equipment can lead to predictive maintenance, allowing organizations to strategize and optimize operations. Robert goes on to explain more about the improvements made using AI in HR, IT, and sales and management. AI-based Solutions in the Retail and Insurance Industry The conversation turns to the use of AI in various industries, including retail, and insurance. In the retail industry, AI-based solutions have impressed with their ability to scan store shelves with smartphones and receive critical metrics like stock availability, pricing, promotion, and competitor positioning. Smart Digital Signage solutions can also be used to adapt to demographics and reactions of customers. In the insurance industry, AI-based solutions include smart digital signage that can adapt to demographics and react to customer reactions. In the insurance industry, AI-based solutions include smart digital signage that can adapt to different demographics and respond to customer needs.

AI in the Legal and Financial Sectors In the legal sector, AI is being used for various purposes, including legal research, contract review, and contract management. This is particularly important for law firms and organizations with understaffed legal teams. In manufacturing, AI is being used to offer real-time instructions to machine line operators. Rob talks about disappointments in areas like financial services, healthcare, and government. In financial services, AI is being used for fraud detection, digital trust, and remote inspections. In insurance, AI can parse frequent documents into well-constructed spreadsheets or databases, and can conduct remote inspections. Rob also points out areas of disappointment. Advice on Adopting AI The conversation turns to the trend of AI being bought rather than built, particularly in the context of AI models. AI should be bought unless a build is absolutely necessary. The build side involves more uncertain investment levels and lead times, as it can lead to app sprawl and uncertainty in the market. Companies are advised to be deliberate about their build decisions, especially when it comes to AI models. On the talent side, companies are hiring new types of Chief AI officers or existing employees, such as Chief Digital Officers, Chief Technology Officers, and Chief Information Officers. These individuals are often left in charge of driving AI forward, but they may not have the necessary skills for building a new and unique model. On the build side, companies may need additional data scientists and data modelers, which can be challenging to achieve. On the consulting side, there is a growing trend of companies using top strategy firms on multiple AI projects. While most clients are still trying to orient themselves, consulting firms can help direct them towards buy-side scenarios where a POC or two can be done without a large implementation. Rob also touches on the importance of understanding the market and the potential benefits of AI solutions.

In this episode we have my good friend Nelson Sierra join us on CO2 Mondays. Nelson has developed a tool for Troubleshooting any refrigeration system with artificial intelligence (AI). It involves utilizing advanced algorithms and data analytics to diagnose and resolve system issues. He also share with us how he developed the AI tool and how it will help you as a technician troubleshoot better and faster. For end users it will reduce downtime and help you be more proactive in your service and replacement of equipment. Here's a general overview of how this device can be used for troubleshooting: Real-time Data Collection: This device will use AI-enabled sensors and monitoring devices and collect real-time data from the compressor in the refrigeration system, such as temperature sensors, pressure transducers, current and volt meters. This data is continuously fed into the AI system. Anomaly Detection: AI algorithms analyze the collected data to establish normal operating patterns and establish baseline performance parameters for the refrigeration system. Deviations from these baselines are flagged as anomalies, indicating potential system issues or malfunctions. Fault Diagnosis: When an anomaly is detected, AI algorithms analyze the data further to identify the root cause of the issue. By comparing the current data patterns with historical data and known fault profiles, the AI system can suggest probable causes for the anomaly. Predictive Maintenance: the AI algorithms can also predict and anticipate future system faults based on historical data and pattern recognition. By identifying early warning signs, the AI system can schedule proactive maintenance or repairs to prevent equipment failure or system breakdowns. Troubleshooting Recommendations: Once the AI system has diagnosed the issue, it can provide troubleshooting recommendations to address the problem. These recommendations can range from simple adjustments to complex repairs, guiding technicians on the necessary steps to rectify the problem efficiently. As Nelson mention it's important to note that AI-assisted troubleshooting is not meant to replace human expertise but rather to augment it. Technicians still play a crucial role in interpreting AI-generated recommendations, performing repairs, and ensuring the proper functioning of the refrigeration system. By leveraging AI for troubleshooting, organizations can benefit from faster and more accurate fault detection, reduced downtime, proactive maintenance scheduling, and improved overall system performance.

Solo episode with Bruce Sinclair, the host of the show, discussing how smart digital can enable predictive maintenance for margin improvement and data-driven business models to increase the exit multiple. In businesses where maintenance has a meaningful impact on margins, we can use artificial intelligence to predict when assets will fail in advance of any noticeable signs of a problem. By using smart digital to prevent unplanned downtimes, we increase the company's operational efficiency to improves its margins, for a relatively low investment in tech. Collecting proprietary monetization data enables the development of novel business models that until recently, were impossible to deploy. Moving from one-and-done product sales to sales that recur to continuously generating revenue are rewarded by the next buyer paying a higher EBITDA multiple. In this episode, Bruce discusses: How margins are improved indirectly and directly. Using smart-tech-driven operational efficiency to improve margins. How to deploy predictive maintenance to minimize unplanned down times. The three different ways smart digital can increase the EBITDA multiple. The concept of data-driven business models and how they are created. The example of the power-by-the-hour business model developed by jet engine maker Bristol Siddeley and deployed by GE and others.
