With generative artificial intelligence taking center stage, enterprises are finding themselves in a race against time to get the best out of this innovation as the concept of doing more with less continues to make airwaves.

Since gen AI enhances productivity based on its pace of advancement, probabilistic nature and unfettered access, Slalom Inc. is making a transition from big enterprise transformations to more agile and dynamic pathing on how businesses can embrace this cutting-edge technology, according to Tony Ko (pictured, left), managing director for global data, analytics and AI at Slalom.

“Slalom has been in consulting for a few decades and we’ve always focused on enterprise-wide transformation,” Ko said. “What generative AI has done for us is transitioned us from large transformations to exponential transitions. We generally think about three different layers or three horizons of how gen AI is going to transform everyone’s business … number one is productivity, gaining efficiency. We’re seeing a lot of anywhere from 30 to 60 percent efficiency or productivity gains, regardless of domain function, engineering process.”

Ko and Cameron Curtis (left), senior director for global Google Center of Excellence at Slalom, spoke with theCUBE industry analysts Rob Strechay and Dustin Kirkland at the Google Cloud Next event, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed how Slalom is emerging as a game-changer in the gen AI field. (* Disclosure below.) 

Slalom and Google Cloud join hands

Through Google Cloud, Slalom is able to seamlessly preach the gen AI gospel, according to Curtis. As a result, the collaboration creates a gen AI ecosystem with a go-to-market that propels adoption.

“Once we realize the ubiquitous nature of how much LLMs are going to be present in our lives, … we’ve made a pretty huge focus on what we can do to help our clients in what we call human or fiercely human way,” he stated. “Applied to Google… within the gen AI space, we’re a top three kind of go-to-market with them and we’re in a top three of like educating and training our people.”

With productivity being one of the three horizons or layers on how gen AI will positively impact companies, Slalom is raising its bar when addressing issues, such as coding faster and automating processes. The other horizons include changing the business environment for optimality purposes, according to Ko.

“The second horizon is how you start to channel that excess capacity to challenge conventional constraints that employees have typically worked within,” he explained. “The last horizon is really getting into the changing of the essence of the entire company, why that company exists and really understanding how to disrupt it.”
