Problem definition is one of the most important parts of the whole AI journey. We know it may seem like an obvious step in the process, but we often see organizations glaze over it or skip it entirely, with real consequences down the road! Not taking the time to properly understand the problem can lead to tech solutions that don't meet your users’ needs, that take longer to develop, that cost more money, or that fail to gain traction once they're out in the world.
Give this step in the journey the full time and dedication that it deserves, and your team will be off on much better footing towards a truly impactful solution. Maybe that will be an AI-based solution? But maybe it won’t!
