PERSPECTIVES – December 2024 

Recently, I had the privilege of speaking at the Project Controls Expo in Washington, D.C., where I introduced LoadSpring’s transformative, outcome-based approach to AI implementation. It was a proud moment to share how we help our clients harness AI in meaningful, impactful ways—without spending years on implementation or millions of dollars only to find it was done wrong. 

The session, titled “Measure Twice, AI Once: An Outcome-Based Approach to Predictive Transformation,” focused on rethinking how organizations approach AI. Instead of asking, “What can AI do for me and my company?”—a capabilities-driven question—our methodology starts with, “What problems do I need to solve in my company?” By focusing on outcomes like answering a critical business question or reaching a specific project performance target, technology investments become laser-focused on delivering real, measurable results.

Our approach to AI exploration provides a framework for businesses to “analyze backwards” to fully understand their needs and requirements and then “build forwards” so only AI solutions that align directly with business objectives are implemented. This strategy streamlines implementation and ensures faster, more efficient results.   

The key takeaway? Adding AI to your toolkit shouldn’t be a resource-draining marathon that requires you to take “Vegas style” bets with your technology budget. Rather, with the right approach, it’s possible to unlock its potential quickly and effectively and learn a lot along the way. 

If you have questions or want to explore how AI can address your unique business challenges, I’d love to continue the conversation. Together, we can achieve remarkable outcomes.
