Identify AI use cases

Identify AI use cases that deliver business value.

The search starts with profit pockets: costs, bottlenecks, risks and untapped revenue that current AI capabilities can measurably change.

The real task

A good use case describes a valuable problem, a measurable outcome and a realistic connection to the technology.

01

Look for profit pockets

Systematically examine costs, friction, risks, bottlenecks and untapped revenue.

02

Connect top-down and bottom-up

Existing processes provide quick wins. Outcome-driven discovery ensures that opportunities go beyond small optimizations.

03

Be prepared to stop early

The problem is too small, AI is unnecessary, data requirements are disproportionate or adoption is unlikely: good discovery filters rigorously.

AI-suitable ideas were distilled into seven priority opportunities with more than $1 million in combined annual potential.

Choose the AI Opportunity Sprint when

  • You want to know where AI can actually generate revenue, save money or reduce significant risks
  • A workshop produced many ideas but no well-founded selection
  • You need prioritized opportunities for budget or portfolio decisions
  • Business and technology teams need a shared view of how to assess opportunities

What you will have afterward

  • Identified AI opportunities with a transparent value rationale
  • A prioritized shortlist instead of an unstructured list of ideas
  • Decision-ready opportunities for budget and portfolio planning
  • A shared evaluation model for business and technology

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers.

How many ideas will we get?
The search is broad enough to avoid overlooking relevant opportunities. The result focuses on the options with the strongest balance of impact, feasibility and risk.
Do our processes need to be documented already?
Existing documentation speeds up the work. Relevant process and outcome information can also be gathered in a focused way during the sprint.
What happens to the best opportunity?
Simple, scoped opportunities can be validated or implemented directly. More complex initiatives are broken into phases, requirements and decisions in the Roadmapping Sprint.
