Two seats at the table: How Skoda aligns business and IT on AI transformation
Skoda’s AI strategy has a simple goal: AI in every process. Getting there takes more than technology. It takes a business and an IT function that challenge each other and speak the same language.
Dr. Ina Offergeld and Dominika Matarazzo joined forces at the start of the year. Since then, they have moved Skoda away from hundreds of small pilots and toward a few big bets. They pick those bets with clear criteria and cross-functional teams. Leaders also use AI in front of their own teams.
In this episode of AI Insiders, they share what changed, what still makes it hard, and what they would tell any company starting out.
