OKRs and AI can be a powerful combination when it comes to strategy execution. The integration works best when each strengthens the other:
How to Identify AI Opportunities in Your Organization
Integrating AI into strategy execution doesn’t require a full-scale transformation. Instead, take a targeted, problem-solving approach to identify where AI can deliver quick, measurable improvements. For instance, Air France-KLM partnered with Google Cloud to use AI in predictive aircraft maintenance, cutting data analysis time from hours to minutes.
Without a clear focus, AI efforts often backfire. A RAND Corporation study found 84% of AI project failures stemmed from leaders directing teams to solve the wrong problem, often due to vague business goals and unclear success metrics. A phased, intentional approach helps ensure AI supports strategy rather than adds complexity.
To spot AI opportunities in your organization, ask:
- Where are the biggest inefficiencies? Are manual, repetitive tasks eating up time?
- Are we overloaded with data but lacking actionable insights?
- Is slow decision-making costing us opportunities?
- Are teams aligned? Do they clearly connect strategy with execution?
- Are we learning from past performance to improve future outcomes?
Focusing on specific pain points allows for smarter AI adoption, improving workflows instead of disrupting them.
