In a previous post, I have written about how I spoon-feed management step by step. Once they understand the gist of AI, and I have an AI use case to pursue internally. It is time for setting up that first meeting to introduce my use case. In this meeting, I keep it simple, I have four key messages I use to explain the use case.

Message 1: The solution in one sentence

I write down the solution in one sentence. What is it exactly that my solution will do? Going through the process of writing it down one sentence helps me to find the right explanation and make it easier to get them on board. And I make sure to focus on the business side of things.

A good example: “Automatic acceptance/rejection of credit applications”

A bad example: “A logistic regression for prediction of paying back loans”

Just think of what will happen in the mind of your manager. In the first example (s)he will think “Great. I can save costs”. In the second example (s)he will think “Mm, interesting”.
