By Bryan Kirschner, Vice President, Strategy at DataStax From the Wall Street Journal to the World Economic Forum , it seems like everyone is talking about the urgency of demonstrating ROI from generative AI (genAI). Make ‘soft metrics’ matter Imagine an experienced manager with an “open door policy.”
Machine learning adds uncertainty. Underneath this uncertainty lies further uncertainty in the development process itself. There are strategies for dealing with all of this uncertainty–starting with the proverb from the early days of Agile: “ do the simplest thing that could possibly work.” What delivers the greatest ROI?
Business value : Once we have a rubric for evaluating our systems, how do we tie our macro-level business value metrics to our micro-level LLM evaluations? Business value : Align outputs with business metrics and optimize workflows to achieve measurable ROI. LLM-powered software amplifies this uncertainty further.
This classification is based on the purpose, horizon, update frequency and uncertainty of the forecast. The ROI of human involvement When it comes to human involvement, the key difference is in the magnitude of costs associated with any one forecast cycle. This defines the ROI on the investment of human time.
In economic uncertainty, it’s natural for executives to explore where to reduce spending, trim the fat , so to speak, and cut enterprising investments as a matter of caution. But this thinking is also counter-productive for all the reasons that make uncertainty so predictable. There’s much to be done.
The good news is that predictive analytics technology is making it easier for people to boost their ROI and tweak their portfolios to align with their investment goals. Therefore, these metrics are likely to be used by most predictive analytics tools used to ascertain risk. Are there any risks associated with asset allocation?
Gen AI can still hallucinate, even if tuned, creating a level of uncertainty when more traditional tools would be more consistent. It’s a scary level of uncertainty and risk, and that makes it difficult to use as a rip and replace for existing technologies.”
Government executives face several uncertainties as they embark on their journeys of modernization. Each recommendation was grounded in the user research conducted and validated to render significant return on investment (ROI) to the business mission of AZDCS. frequency (how many occurrences?), time (how much time is lost?)
As such an ROI would have been impossible. See Data and Analytics Strategies Need More-Concrete Metrics of Success. In summary therefore we could say that half of IT investments might be ROI based; the other half are justified using things like faith, hope, and charity. The article notes this as cognitive uncertainty.
Ensure that product managers work on projects that matter to the business and/or are aligned to strategic company metrics. Another pattern that I’ve seen in good PMs is that they’re very metric-driven. And then you’ll do a lot of work to get it out and then there’ll be no ROI at the end.
Though composable infrastructure may remove the restrictions of traditional architectures, there’s debate [3] about whether it can scale and whether the ROI would be reached by increased flexibility and utilization. Yes, specific AI workflows require special hardware configurations.
On top of this, Relex added instructions to its prompt to avoid answering any questions outside the company’s knowledge base, he says, and to express uncertainty when the question was at the limits of its knowledge or skills. It was often a long laundry list,” says Tyler Talaga, staff IT engineer at MyFitnessPal.
Building Models to Predict Movie Profitability Here I use profitability as the metric of success for a film and define profitability as the return on investment (ROI). The ROI is simply the fraction of the budget that the movie makes back at the box office (i.e., ROI = Profit/Budget). 158% (median ROI of 82%)!
Many organizations have launched dozens of AI proof-of-concept projects only to see a huge percentage fail, in part because CIOs don’t know whether the POCs are meeting key metrics, according to research firm IDC. This uncertainty can lead to wasted resources and even more importantly, missed opportunities for improvement.”
As AI technologies evolve, organizations can utilize frameworks to measure short-term ROI from AI initiatives against key performance indicators (KPIs) linked to business objectives, says Soumendra Mohanty, chief strategy officer at data science and AI solutions provider Tredence. You get what you measure, she says.
While building from scratch is out of reach for most, consumption-based models allow CIOs to implement AI incrementally with more measurable ROI. That uncertainty creates a challenge for risk-averse companies that must work within budget constraints. Premium pricing for gen AI services is another CIO concern, IDC and CIOs note.
Typically, election years bring fear, uncertainty, and doubt, causing a slowdown in hiring, Doyle says. CIOs are being viewed as business strategists who can navigate AIs impact, manage outsourced IT functions, and drive ROI and measurable business value, she says. Stories and metrics matter.
One client proudly showed me this evaluation dashboard: The kind of dashboard that foreshadows failure This is the tools trapthe belief that adopting the right tools or frameworks (in this case, generic metrics) will solve your AI problems. Second, too many metrics fragment your attention. When everything is important, nothing is.
