Key Learnings
• AI hit enterprises faster than they
can digest
• Even now many companies
believe that adopting AI means
forming a group of ML guys and
telling others that they do magic
• This needs serious research

5
Focus Today
What they don’t teach in B Schools

Performance measurements

Human aspects

 Proof of Concept
evidence, typically deriving from an experiment or pilot
project, which demonstrates that a design concept,
business proposal, etc. is feasible.

7
Proof of Concept

POC is not a scaled down

version of the original
The Projects
project!

8
Proof of Concept
•Scaling down
• Main goal: 20 plants, 100 processes and 100
parameters to track (200,000)
• POC defined: 2 plants, 10 processes, 10
parameters to track (200)

•Chop off anything you are certain of

Data collection
Process Integration
Domain understanding

•Focus on the uncertain: ML, Explainability, Ethical

and Legal aspects

Over expectations
“a belief that someone will or should achieve
something extraordinary”

10
Setting the right
expectations
A right performance
metric should not be
based on what is the best
for the company!

A right performance
metric should be based on
what is being done
currently!
11
Versions work for ML too!

12
 Human Emotions
“strong feelings deriving from one's circumstances,
mood, or relationships with others.”

13
Deployment has more human issues than generally realized
Inertia
Minimum deviation from routine
Plan launch
Even at the expense of
performance, minimize the
deviation

Ego
Does training really help?
Fear
• Does increasing sales teams enhance
Play defeatist
sales?
“I will help save your extremely
• Work with the counselling teams
valuable time so that you can focus
• Design incentives and motivation
on the most important problems
• Create a learning plan
while I do the kitchen sink work”

Key Takeaways
How as a functional guy, you can play the most important role in digital success

POC Performance Metrics

A proof of concept is about learning
whether the most uncertain part of the By asking the DS to deliver 100%
ML execution works or not accurate solution, you are damaging
your digital journey irreparably!

These are not natural skills

Deployment You need to find people with
Best architected and built solutions fail right aptitude and train them
if human aspects are not take care
hard.
