Thinksmash AI edition 5-day workshop

Datacom New Zealand

thinksmash® - AI Edition is a 5-day process designed to help customers develop their AI capability and mobilise an Agile programme of work to launch products. It is a tried and tested approach, genera

The thinksmash® process starts by exposing the possibilities of AI to a team of key stakeholders from the business. We then explore the key use cases in the business, and where the greatest friction and opportunity for AI exists.

Often from a thinksmash®, there are 1 or 2 ideas that surface, which the team feel have the potential to disrupt their industry. To showcase the opportunity, we build a simple prototype using our repeatable IP in the Azure Cognitive Services stack.

From here, the outputs move into a modern Agile program to create products, scale systems, and build the capability to support it. Datacom place a premium on this, because translating a thought into action is critical to innovation – something we call “Doing-ability”.
