How might organisations identify whether AI is the right solution for their operational challenges?

Organisations can determine whether AI is the right solution by first clearly defining the operational challenge and identifying whether it involves patterns, predictions, automation, or processing large volumes of data. AI tends to be most effective in scenarios where decisions rely on historical data, repetitive manual tasks can be automated, or insights are difficult to extract through traditional software.

A practical evaluation usually includes:

  • Assessing data readiness (quality, volume, accessibility)

  • Identifying measurable outcomes such as cost reduction, time savings, or accuracy improvement

  • Reviewing current workflows to see if automation or intelligent systems would create real efficiency

  • Estimating implementation complexity versus expected return

If the problem can be solved through simple process optimisation or rule-based systems, AI may not be necessary. However, if predictive modelling, machine learning development, or intelligent automation can significantly improve performance, then investing in advanced AI solutions may be justified.

For organisations exploring this further, consulting a structured AI assessment framework from a digital technology specialist such as Imobisoft can provide additional clarity on feasibility and strategic alignment.
