ChatGPT and Large Language Models in the Enterprise: What Executives Need to Know

AI is a rapidly growing field that has the potential to revolutionize many industries. However, many people are still unsure of what AI is and how it can be applied to their environment. Seth Earley shares his knowledge and expertise gained over 25 years of consulting about how new and emerging technologies can be safely and effectively deployed in the enterprise. Large Language Models and ChatGPT types of applications are getting a great deal of attention, but how can organizations use them to retrieve information across the entire enterprise, speeding information flows and creating new efficiencies and capabilities? AI solutions require having the correct data and the correct information architecture. Seth explains how this can be achieved at scale saving hundreds of millions of dollars in costs and increasing revenue by the same order of magnitude through case studies and examples. For a pharmaceutical company, the use of a knowledge architecture improved accuracy from 53% to 83% and eliminated hallucinations for a highly sensitive portfolio review application while providing audit trails, protection of IP and explainability. Seth educates and level sets with a warm, humorous and engaging style accessible to both executives and practitioners.

The Journey to AI Powered Transformation: Practical Steps for Achieving Real Business Value

Digital transformation has become a broad, catch all term meaning anything from improving the customer experience to streamlining internal business processes and everything in between. Artificial Intelligence has also become a broad and ambiguous concept meaning everything from chatbots to self-driving cars. Now put those two concepts and you end up with jargon soup, wasted resources, confusion, and failed initiatives. The industry is full of hype and confusion, buzzwords and bs, unrealistic expectations and some high visibility failures.

Whenever a significant technology change comes about, it’s difficult to not get caught up in the confusion and end up on costly paths without business value due to the fear of missing the next big thing and losing out to the competition

In this session we will hear from award winning author and popular conference speaker Seth Earley who will provide practical guidelines for getting real business value from Artificial Intelligence programs and projects and discuss what needs to be in place to be successful (hint: it’s not the technology).

Attendees will leave with a buzzword free understanding of:
The necessary business decisions when considering these tools
Cultural issues and how to address them
How to approach processes to maximize business value

Knowledge Engineering – “The Last Mile” of Artificial Intelligence

Cognitive AI runs on knowledge – expertise and content structured and organized for retrieval using virtual assistants, chat bots, and conversational commerce applications. But how do organizations build this capability cost effectively and sustainably? The answer is a “knowledge factory,” an approach that solves information problems today while providing a foundation for the future methodology for analyzing business problems, breaking problems into specific information requirements, developing and structuring knowledge components, and building out models for continuous learning and knowledge curation using automated and human in the loop approaches along with process metrics to quantify business impact. Organizations that do not build these capabilities will be caught flat footed as the industry progresses and competitors build sophisticated capabilities that enable higher levels of customer service at lower costs.

Attendees leave with an understanding of:
Actionable steps to begin their journey.
How to develop a realistic achievable, roadmap based on current capability maturity
How to apply a repeatable, scalable “factory” process to conventional knowledge management problems

The Critical Role of Enterprise Data in Generative AI
CustomerThink
February 06, 2024
A huge number of Gen AI-based tools and applications have flooded the market. Some of these applications are clever and creative but they are mostly wrappers for the large language models (LLMs) behind applications such as ChatGPT. That is not to detract from the thousands of potential scenarios where an LLM’s knowledge of language, concept, and word relationships provides new efficiencies and productivity.

But LLMs and ChatGPT cannot solve all of information the problems of the organization. Machine learning is at the core of AI applications. Conventional tools in the enterprise tech stack (such as ERP, data warehouses, eCommerce, and content/knowledge management) are increasingly incorporating machine learning into core functionality.

Accelerating Data and Analytics Capabilities Age of Generative AI: How Governance is a Key Enabler
Enterprise Viewpoint
September 11, 2023
The underlying principles of Artificial Intelligence have been evolving over decades. Recent advances have created nothing short of a revolutionary breakthrough in information management. Generative AI is in the public consciousness and corporate applications are promising but require certain guardrails and decision-making policies and processes. While “governance“ is a term that brings to mind bureaucratic structures with little practical on-the-ground application, a correctly designed decision-making framework driven by business process/outcome measures and KPIs provides a critical component of data analytics and AI programs.

The Future of Bots and Digital Transformation – Is ChatGPT a Game Changer?
Earley
January 20, 2023
Digital assistants are taking a larger role in digital transformations. They can improve customer service, providing more convenient and efficient ways for customers to interact with the organization. They can also free up human customer service agents by providing quick and accurate responses to customer inquiries and automating routine tasks, which reduces call center volume. They are available 24/7 and can personalize recommendations and content by taking into consideration role, preferences, interests and behaviors. All of these contribute to improved productivity and efficiency. Right now, bots are only valuable in very narrow use cases and are unable to handle complex tasks. However, the field is rapidly changing and advances in algorithms are having a very significant impact.

To begin with, even though I have updated contact information on this business account on multiple occasions, a lot of the contact information was incorrect. I was greeted by the mobile app as “Linda” — an assistant from several years back — and was repeatedly prompted to certify the device that I was doing this on, and the answers to my “secret questions” were all incorrect (though I had these tracked on a spreadsheet). I was prompted again and again to reset my password and for some reason was prompted to create a new username.

ROI of Digital Transformation: Balancing Long-Term Vision and Short-term Impact
Customer Think
April 14, 2021
Nowhere is the case for metrics stronger than in digital transformations. The most sweeping and comprehensive transformations are the most effective, but the fact that they take place over years and not months means that the full effect is not felt for a long time. Yet the pressures are constant to show ROI for the investments within budget cycles. The key to maintaining support for these initiatives is to link them to improvements in process and outcomes from the very beginning. Short-term wins can then be put into the context of long-term goals, thereby sustaining momentum. Defining what those wins are and providing convincing measurements is essential in launching and maintaining digital transformations.

February 20, 2021
Digital Transformation (DT) and Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) both entail a great deal of confusing, ambiguous and catch-all terminology that does very little to help prospective buyers make decisions. In fact, it amounts to buzzword soup. The boundaries of digital transformation are vague, and the term seems to mean something different for every company. And despite the undeniable value of having the complete view of the customer that a CDP can provide, the industry does not actually agree on what a CDP is.

Is Your Data Infrastructure Ready for AI?
Harvard Business Review
April 28, 2020
Creating an ontology is an essential investment to prepare your enterprise to realize the benefits of AI and machine learning. Gone are the days when businesses should simply allow a number of small AI projects to blossom independently: for these projects to be competitive they need to draw on data from across the company, data stored in many different forms in many different systems. An ontology defines these connections in a way that AI can take advantage of. Businesses will be best positioned to build ontologies if they identify and research pain points first–areas where the data connections are most needed–before beginning to set the organizing principles for the ontology itself.

The AI Powered Enterprise
Lifetree Media
April 28, 2020
The AI-Powered Enterprise examines two fundamental questions: First, how will the future be different as a result of artificial intelligence? And second, what must companies do to stake their claim on that future?

When the Web came along in the mid-90s, it transformed the behavior of customers and remade whole industries. Now, as part of its promise to bring revolutionary change in untold ways to human activity, artificial intelligence—AI—is about to create another complete transformation in how companies create and deliver value to customers. But despite the billions spent so far on bots and other tools, AI continues to stumble. Why can't it magically use all the data organizations generate to make them run faster and better? Because something is missing.

AI works only when it understands the soul of the business. An ontology is a holistic digital model of every piece of information that matters to the business, from processes to products to people, and it's what makes the difference between the promise of AI and delivering on that promise.

Business leaders who want to catch the AI wave—rather than be crushed by it—need to read The AI-Powered Enterprise. The book is the first to combine a sophisticated explanation of how AI works with a practical approach to applying AI to the problems of business, from customer experience to business operations to product development.

Using the Customer Journey to Optimize the Marketing Technology Stack
Henry Stewart Publications
March 01, 2021
This paper discusses how to evaluate marketing technology (martech) software
in the context of the customer journey. It describes the technologies that are used to
engage the customer at each stage of the customer journey, beginning with search engine
optimization to enable the inbound engagement that brings customers to a website
and informs them about the available products or services. The paper describes the
different characteristics of the customer journey, such as the fact that it traverses multiple
departments and requires support from many organizational processes and structures.
The paper concludes that in order to develop an appropriate martech software stack,
it is essential to take a holistic view of the customer journey and the technologies used
to support it. This paper provides a detailed analysis of an engagement strategy that
spans the entire customer journey and identifies the technologies that are used for each
stage, from search to purchase, order fulfilment, use of the product, and support. As
implementing a full complement of solutions is not always possible, this paper provides
guidance on how to prioritize the selection of enabling software, to guide the investment
strategy by identifying those technologies that offer the greatest value to the organization.

The Knowledge Management Imperative: Why KM Is Essential To AI
Earley Information Science
March 15, 2023
Enterprises are increasingly recognizing the critical need for knowledge management (KM) to power cognitive AI. In fact, KM and AI are two sides of the same coin. Training a chatbot requires the same organized information that we use to train a human. When you engineer knowledge correctly, you serve the needs of people today and prepare for greater automation in the future. In fact, the long term success of the organization will depend on doing just that – especially when the competition builds high functionality bots that will produce lower costs and better customer service. Those without the capability will not be competitive.

In this panel discussion, we’ll discuss examples and approaches that show how KM supports AI and how to ensure the success of your KM initiative.

Accelerating Product Data Programs with Pre-PIM Software
Earley Information Science
January 11, 2023
Some product information management (PIM) tools make it difficult to change core data models once they have been set up in the system. To avoid costly rework, you can utilize a “pre-PIM” design tool as a PIM accelerator. This class of software allows you to:

Iterate on designs before committing to a PIM architecture
Improve data quality
Collaborate on decision-making and audit trails
Set up metrics around product data and attribute structure
Correlate performance measures with metrics – product data and hierarchy improvements are correlated with user behaviors and outcomes
Integrate governance content prior to PIM load
Decrease reliance on spreadsheets
While some PIM tools include a subset of these functions, they are often lacking in flexibility, functionality, and integration capabilities, especially around product data model and hierarchy design changes.

Knowledge Management and Virtual Assistants: How Large Enterprises are Saving Millions in Operational Costs and Improving Employee Experience
Earley Information Science
November 30, 2022
In this new world, no employees should spend time struggling to get basic information and questions answered – especially about IT and HR systems and benefits. Virtual Assistant capabilities continue improving as they are trained on large numbers of support and trouble ticket data. While recognizing user intent is critical, equally important is having the information that employees and customers need to solve the problem once their problem and objective is understood.

This means that the knowledge to power such interactions is available and in the correct format for retrieval. However, many organizations have incomplete, inconsistent or missing knowledge and therefore need to build the correct foundation to make these programs a success.

In this session, Earley Information Science, with partner PeopleReign, will show how these programs can rapidly produce measurable results in weeks rather than months and years. While large-scale knowledge problems cannot be solved overnight, by focusing on narrow AI with clearly defined processes and curated knowledge, organizations can see ROI in as little as 30 days.

We will discuss how to approach internal and external support use cases, measure baselines, project ROI, and quickly build a knowledge architecture that can produce short-term results while building the foundation for expanding to broader organizational knowledge problems.

2024 Predictions for Generative AI

Date : October 12, 2023

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) will accelerate adoption of Large Language Model powered ChatGPT-like applications for the enterprise. This will lead to greater adoption due to RAG’s ability to virtually eliminate hallucinations, protect company IP, provide audit trails and traceability and adhere to brand guidelines.

This will require user organizations and vendors to build maturity in knowledge and information architecture methodologies and to leverage ontologies and knowledge graphs as part of enterprise grade AI solutions. It will drive organizations to invest in knowledge operations and to improve unstructured content hygiene. Knowledge will be at the core of successful AI deployments. At a recent Forrester event, analysts and speakers agreed that Retrieval Augmented Generation will have the greatest impact of any AI technology in the enterprise. Gartner had predicted that knowledge management for AI would be the fastest growing and largest area of spend on AI.
