Key Takeaways

Employ roadmapping to gain the visibility needed to manage expensive AI investments.
Use Clarity roadmaps to do collaborative strategy and dependency planning for AI.
Establish scenario planning to adapt to the quickly shifting AI landscape.

AI investments are expensive and potentially impactful but managing them can be challenging. The secret to success is to visualize and orchestrate your AI strategy using roadmaps. How can the roadmaps in Clarity® by Broadcom provide that central visibility and management for these complex initiatives?

From siloed strategies to central Clarity

Too often, AI strategies exist in scattered spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, or individual executives’ documents. If an executive were to suddenly disappear, would the investments disappear too? Further, this lack of centralization makes it difficult to track progress, collaborate effectively, and ensure alignment across the organization. Clarity roadmaps bring everything together in a single, accessible platform.

The power of collaboration

Clarity facilitates collaboration and transparency. Roadmaps allow you to share your AI strategy with stakeholders, gather feedback, and ensure everyone is on the same page.

Roadmaps also link all related AI project elements:

Staffing levels
Cost plans
Benefit plans
Potential risks and issues

These are the details that make your roadmap a holistic resource.

Planning for the unknown (and inevitable changes)

The AI landscape is rapidly evolving, with new technologies and potential disruptions emerging constantly. You need a way to adapt your plans quickly and efficiently. Clarity's scenario planning capabilities allow you to model different potential outcomes and create contingency plans. Plan A, plan B, plan C. It's all laid out and easily managed.

Roadmapping: The essential tool for AI success

Spreadsheets and PowerPoint slides simply can't keep up with the dynamic nature of AI. You need a centralized, collaborative platform that allows you to visualize your strategy, track progress, and adapt to change.

Clarity’s roadmaps help you:

Centralize your AI strategy: Bring all your AI initiatives into a single platform.
Foster collaboration: Share your roadmap with stakeholders and gather feedback.
Plan for contingencies: Model different potential outcomes and create backup plans.
Visualize dependencies: Understand how different AI initiatives rely on each other.

Don't let your AI investments get lost in the chaos. Use Clarity’s roadmapping to gain control, drive alignment, and maximize your chances of success.
