Maturity Phase Description Outcome
1. Proof of Concept (PoC)
The Proof of Concept (PoC) phase is the starting point for Generative AI adoption. Organizations use this phase to experiment with Generative AI technologies, test various models, and explore potential use cases in controlled environments. This phase is focused on learning, understanding AI capabilities, and building foundational knowledge around generative models.
Experimentation and learning are the primary outcomes of this phase. Teams gain insights into how Generative AI works, identify its limitations, and determine its feasibility for specific tasks. This phase helps in building confidence in the technology and sets the stage for more focused implementations.
2. Tactical
The Tactical phase involves deploying Generative AI projects into production for simple use cases with clear objectives. Organizations identify low-risk, high-impact areas where Generative AI can provide immediate value. This phase is focused on leveraging Generative AI to automate routine tasks, generate straightforward outputs, or enhance specific processes.
Delivering tangible results becomes the key outcome. Generative AI solutions are operationalized for simple use cases, showcasing their ability to automate processes or generate content effectively. This phase demonstrates the practicality of AI in real-world applications, paving the way for more complex implementations.
3. Well-Governed
In the Well-Governed phase, organizations focus on embedding governance frameworks around their Generative AI initiatives. This includes implementing safeguards, compliance measures, and ethical considerations. Data protection, bias mitigation, and transparency become central to ensuring responsible AI usage.
A well-governed Generative AI system produces output that aligns with organizational policies and regulatory requirements. The outcome is a robust framework for using AI securely while minimizing risks. Trust and accountability in AI solutions are established, enabling broader adoption.
4. Strategic
The Strategic phase marks a significant shift in Generative AI adoption. Organizations start leveraging Generative AI across multiple projects and processes, aligning its use with business objectives. AI becomes a strategic enabler for driving innovation and improving operational efficiencies.
The outcome is measurable business value across diverse projects. Generative AI is utilized to optimize workflows, create data-driven strategies, and enhance decision-making processes. This phase fosters scalability and integration of AI solutions into the organization's core operations.
5. Transformational
The Transformational phase is the pinnacle of Generative AI maturity. Organizations use Generative AI to unlock entirely new use cases, generate novel datasets, and create innovative data products. AI becomes a competitive differentiator, driving breakthroughs and reshaping industries.
Delivering transformative results is the key outcome of this phase. Organizations achieve competitive advantages by leveraging Generative AI to pioneer innovations, expand market opportunities, and redefine business models. AI becomes a catalyst for long-term growth and industry leadership.

Data Product Approach

Why Build Data Products

Companies should build data products because they transform raw data into actionable, reusable assets that directly drive business outcomes. Instead of treating data as a byproduct of operations, a data product approach emphasizes usability, governance, and value creation. Ultimately, they turn data from a cost center into a growth engine, unlocking compounding value across every function of the enterprise.
