Integrating AI into business strategy

The development of AI has gained momentum in recent years. How can you best use it to improve your business processes? And how can you manage the risks of increasing dependence on AI? Due to AI's complex, non-transparent configuration, the same applies to the reliability of business controls.

Artificial Intelligence

As of late, ChatGPT can write an essay on any topic within seconds. Enter a prompt on DALL-E to generate a hyper-realistic 'picture'. Ask Siri about the weather forecast, and you will get a spoken answer. All are examples of AI, and its quality is improving at an astonishing rate. In a year, we will undoubtedly be able to use AI for applications we hardly think possible today. This will give the technology new applications at a lightning pace for predicting certain business-critical events, such as a more efficient supply-chain design. In a way, this development is similar to the rise of the internet in the 1990s. Many organisations that embraced it too late have been overtaken by competition and innovative startups.

We follow AI developments closely, knowing what is possible today and what we can do with it next year. We guide organisations in implementing their digital strategy, looking at how AI can speed up business processes, become more productive and achieve higher customer satisfaction. This includes protocols on how AI can or cannot be deployed. We are supported by specialists within EPSA Netherlands, to which Boer & Croon also belongs. This not only looks at what suits the organisation and their customers but also considers the ethical implications of using this technology.

AI Act
We also help our clients comply with the AI Act, a European regulation that came into force in 2024. It was created to manage the risks associated with the introduction of autonomous AI systems. Drivers become responsible for deploying them safely and reliably. We offer special workshops for management and members of supervisory boards to introduce them to the world of AI and AI compliance.

Kennissessie; AI policy in a day

De toekomst van AI-regulering De Europese Commissie heeft vanaf 2019 gewerkt aan Europese regelgeving voor het digitale tijdperk. Dit leidde tot meer dan tien belangrijke digitale wetten over zaken zoals de data-economie, cyberbeveiliging en platformregulering. De AI Act is een belangrijk onderdeel van dit bredere digitale regelgevingspakket en richt zich op de uitdagingen en mogelijke risico's van AI-systemen.

Healthcare

The healthcare sector is also slowly taking off with AI applications. For example, AI is used for rostering, making rosters better staffed and requiring fewer staff. Hospitals are using AI to predict the risk of ‘no-shows’. Checking up on high-risk patients can drastically reduce the percentage of no-shows. A pharmacy can also use an optical illusion as a pharmacy assistant.

Public

In times of cost-cutting and staff shortages, the public sector is expected to become more business-like and ensure effective and efficient operations. To achieve this, it is also looking at new technologies and AI. Within public administration, executive organisations and education, AI can help automate repetitive work processes and optimise processes, freeing up capacity. With the help of this freed-up capacity, other pressing gaps within business processes can be staffed and partly filled. While AI is certainly not the solution to everything, it can play an important role in optimising processes within education and municipalities, implementing organisations, and easing workloads.

Artificial Intelligence Community

Besides management solutions, Boer & Croon also has thematic communities, on which interdisciplinary issues are worked. Always with the same goal in mind: Get It Done!

Our approach

The secret of our solutions is cooperation—not just on paper but precisely in everyday practice, where uncertainty and complexity are present, and guts are needed to connect the energy market and the public transport sector. We really become part of the direction, design, and implementation teams. We will not leave until everyone in OV works on the energy transition solutions we have developed together.
