Automate customer service via Conversational, Cognitive AI
Our proven three-step approach yields a successful Conversational AI Strategy & Roadmap, typically over a three-week period:
We start by meeting with stakeholders to develop a thorough understanding of the client’s business drivers, target users, overarching vision, and critical requirements that will guide the direction, use and implementation of the Conversational AI. Next, we analyze which of the client’s existing customer service systems, challenges, pain points, and processes are appropriate for automation and Conversational AI. Finally, we explore the industry landscape to unearth market opportunities, competitive advantages and innovative use cases.
Our second step uses Process Mapping and Use Case Analysis as inputs to ideation. Next, ideation and use case exercises prioritize business-need based on process steps and business drivers. As part of our plan for future-state, each scenario is assigned a primary actor and value-driver. These scenarios are then ranked on Business Impact, Organizational Readiness, and Ease of Implementation; this includes an assessment of stakeholder readiness and potential ROI.
This phase generates a catalog of key features, functionality and use cases that show the most potential, explores their applicable delivery channels, analyzes their alignment with current initiatives, and begins to define (and phase) the Conversational AI pilot and roadmap. We identify which processes should be included in the pilot and define the conversation-flow, along with detailed integration requirements.
Our consultants assess the specific requirements of your existing technical environment, including integration architecture, source systems, solution layers and components, technology and toolset options, environmental and infrastructure requirements, plus security and compliance considerations, and manageability and IT control—all the way up to monitoring and analytics—to better understand how the Conversational AI solution will integrate with back-office and 3rd-party applications and systems.
In the final steps, we further refine the pilot and roadmap based on stakeholder input gathered throughout the process. Additionally, we generate an executive readout that highlights key processes and associated readiness along with pilot design, a phased roadmap, and next-step recommendations.
